The couple’s vision for the day revolved around the idea of a contemporary garden party in Virginia’s idyllic Hunt Country, with intimate, heartfelt, and editorial vibes. They wanted their wedding to feel elevated but approachable– a space that allowed for endless memories to be made with their families and friends who traveled from near and far to celebrate with them.

Mada looked stunning in a fit-and-flare strapless gown that had sophisticated structure and beautiful, subtle detailing and a trail of buttons down to the train. Perfectly accessorized, she donned a classic veil and jewelry, and a modern scarf.

Mada and Julian treated their guests to an incredible multi-course meal from the impeccable Goodstone Inn restaurant. During cocktail hour, everyone enjoyed a variety of traditional Virginia canapés and the couple’s signature cocktails.

The iconic Goodstone Inn makes such a statement in itself and was the perfect backdrop for their summertime soirée! They elevated the gorgeous ivy wall with summery baskets and urns filled with textural white florals. Mada carried an all-white mono bouquet of fluffy white peonies, and the tablescapes highlighted all-white roses and candles. Set to a backdrop of luscious green velvet linens and juxtaposed against the classic checkerboard dance floor, the tables filled the sailcloth tent beautifully!

Nodding to current trends, the couple opted for a small, vintage lambeth cake to share.
