A Garden Party Charm at The Market at Grelen

Rachel and Josh’s spring wedding at The Market at Grelen blended garden party charm with refined elegance. The bride glowed in a strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline, her look softened by a bouquet of ivory garden roses, blush ranunculus, coral peonies, and silvery eucalyptus. The groom’s powder blue suit and blush tie echoed the day’s romantic palette.

​

Their ceremony unfolded beneath a wrought-iron arch draped in greenery, with rose petal-lined aisles and rustic cross-back chairs set across the lush lawn. Towering stone planters brimming with hydrangeas framed the space, while coral, ivory, and sage tones captured the essence of late spring in Virginia.

​

The reception, showcased vineyard views and garden-inspired details. White linens were paired with dusty blue napkins and wooden charger plates, while centerpieces of dahlias, garden roses, and Queen Anne’s lace filled moss-covered vessels. Lace appliqué runners and vintage postcard table numbers added texture and charm, with towering topiaries creating dramatic interest throughout the space.
