A Summer Breeze and Timeless Romance at Restoration Hall at Old Trail

Elena and Walker celebrated their love on a sun-drenched August day at Restoration Hall at Old Trail, where rustic elegance met mountain charm against the sweeping backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

​

The ceremony was luminous, as the venue’s expansive windows welcomed streams of natural light that danced across a floral arch created by Hedge Fine Blooms. Delphinium blues mingled with white roses and verdant greenery, echoing the couple’s soft, nature-inspired palette. Hannah Rose Event Design orchestrated each detail with seamless grace, ensuring the celebration flowed with warmth and refinement.

​

Elena was radiant in a strapless gown, her braided hairstyle crowned with a golden handcrafted accessory and paired with a flowing veil that caught the summer breeze. Walker complemented her beautifully in a light grey suit and soft blue tie, a subtle nod to the florals. Meredith McKown Photography approached the day with an artful, editorial lens, preserving each moment in images that felt both timeless and deeply personal.

For the reception, Blue Ridge Event Production set the tone with elegant rentals that transformed the hall into an inviting space. Tables draped in taupe linens and crisp white runners were crowned with textural centerpieces of delphinium, roses, and greenery, their glow softened by candlelight and delicate string lights overhead. Guests savored a menu prepared in-house at Restoration Hall, highlighted by delectable shrimp skewers that added a gourmet flair. A simple white cake adorned with a whimsical topper of the couple and a horse reflected their playful spirit and personal story.

As the evening carried on with laughter, toasts, and dancing beneath string lights, the celebration became a true reflection of Elena and Walker’s love—a wedding as enchanting and unforgettable as the mountains surrounding it.
