Its southern charm, hospitality, stunning scenery, and elegance fulfilled her dreams. While all weddings are beautiful, wonderful, and sentimental, weddings in Loudoun have something extra special.

our closest family and friends have arrived. The big day is tomorrow. Tonight, however, offers you a chance to enjoy a more intimate affair: the rehearsal dinner. Rehearsal dinners
have long been a part of the wedding weekend. Traditionally an event hosted by the groomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, the rehearsal dinner has often been an intimate, formal gathering of the bridal party and immediate family. As weddings become more elaborate, and more and more guests come in from out of town, rehearsal dinners have started to change. The night before the wedding has become a great opportunity to welcome friends and family and officially kick off the wedding weekend. Rehearsal dinners are expanding to include all out-of-town guests â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or sometimes the entire guest list. And as guest lists have grown, the level of formality has decreased.

Rehearsal dinners don’t have to be expensive. A casual barbeque, pasta dinner, or full Chinese banquet can allow you to increase your guest list without breaking your budget. If a formal dinner with your bridal party and immediate family is planned, you might invite additional guests to join you for dessert or to meet up later for drinks.

Loudoun County is full of fun and unique places to hold a rehearsal dinner. Host a barbecue at one of our historic barns – complete with a bonfire and roasted marshmallows. Culinary aficionados might hold a wine and cheese tasting at a local winery, or an organic meal at a farm-to-table establishment that serves fresh, local produce. Couples may wish to showcase the history of the area and hold their dinner in a historic estate. For some, this is also a great opportunity to invite guests into your home, or the home of family and friends. Simply hire a local caterer to customize a menu perfect for you. Regardless of size, style, or budget, the rehearsal dinner is a wonderful opportunity for couples to spend more time with their friends and family. Wedding weekends pass far too quickly – so relax, have fun, and make the most of every moment.

columns for the altar, or a floral garland for an arbor. These pieces create drama upon entrance into the venue. Consider having one large altar arrangement that can be moved to your reception to maximize your floral budget. If your reception site has mantels, banisters, or windowsills, they can be adorned with flowers and candles. Greens and loose blossoms across mantels are beautiful, as are family photos or even greens from your home. If your reception is in a large space or a ballroom with high ceilings, elevated centerpieces such as columns, candelabras, or ornate glass vases will fill the space beautifully. A combination of high and low floral designs helps with the overall budget but still allows for some drama in the room. Centerpieces can also be designed with potted plants, floating candles, small cakes or confections, the maids' bouquets, or a creation of your very own. Party favors can also be placed in the center of the table as the centerpiece. To finish the table dĂŠcor, placing a single blossom into the folded napkin creates a very lush table scape.

Fresh flowers on the cake are a way to add dimension and color and carry the theme, as does a toss bouquet on the cake table. Other spaces to consider for floral adornment include the place card table, guest book table, and the ladies room. One final idea is to hang wedding favors on a large floral arrangement, or make the favors themselves small potted plants. So follow your dream. Flowers bring your wedding to life, and their beauty provides color, tone, and a wonderful accent to your most memorable of days.

rides are very savvy today. They do their homework and know all the right questions to ask potential photographers. Do we get to keep the digital files? Do we own the copyright?
Will you bring a second photographer or an assistant to help with your equipment? Do you know other photographers you can call in case of an emergency? How soon after our wedding will we be able to see the photos? Do you offer online viewing and custom designed albums? When you meet with a photographer, make sure you view all the images of at least one wedding. Photographer websites often only show their favorite images and those may be enhanced. Viewing all the photos will ensure you like their style and confirm whether or not they have the technical expertise to handle such things as dramatic wedding lighting, both inside a dark church and outside in direct sunlight. Also ask the photographer why they photograph weddings. Their answer should be because they are passionate about what they do. Wedding photography is not like any other photography. It is fast paced and often times unexpected,
