We can’t think of a better way to spend this Monday than by checking out Erica and Bryan’s wedding! From the plum inspired decor to their personalized details, what’s not to love? We are  grateful to have been a part of their spectacular wedding. Thanks to Amy Robinson Photography, we are showing off some of our favorite moments from their big day! Enjoy!

“There aren’t enough words to describe the amazing experience we had at Historic Mankin Mansion – from the very first visit to HMM all the way to the end of our magical wedding day – it was absolutely remarkable. HMM is absolutely one of the most beautiful venues in the Richmond area and having the incredible planning and coordination of every detail taken care of by HMM was amazing. Kate was there every step of the way to help us with even the smallest details. Martin did a great job as DJ and our guests danced all night long. Our wedding day was everything we wanted and then some.” ~Erica and Bryan

Thanks Erica and Bryan for sharing your Big Day with us!

Mankin Mansion couples never cease to amaze us with all of the creative and unique ideas they plan for their wedding. Julie and Nik pulled out all the stops for their big day and we are thrilled to share their Richmond wedding with you!

One of our favorite details has to be the groomsmen’s superhero t-shirts (worn under their tuxedos) and their matching cuff links. Everyone in the bridal party was full of enthusiasm, which truly set the tone for Julie and Nik’s perfect day. Without a doubt, this darling duo had a lovely wedding and we couldn’t wait to share a few of our favorite photos. Just wait until you see how stunning Julie looks

Congraulations to Julie and Nik!

We were honored when asked to host this exquisite inspiration shoot, and now we are excited to share that it was recently featured in the 2014 Richmond Weddings Magazine issue!

It was certainly a team effort to create this “Snow White’s Winter Wedding” stylized shoot. Elegant Party Plans designed this set from beginning to end and enlisted the help of Green Flamingo to create these lovely floral designs! All of the photos were perfectly captured by Shalese Danielle Photography.

Here are a few of our favorite photos of this whimsical, woodland shoot! We hope you love them as much as we do!

Three cheers to everyone who worked so hard to make this inspiration shoot such a successful. And, many thanks to our friends at Richmond Weddings for this feature!
