A Whimsical Summer Affair at Montfair Resort Farm

Montfair Resort Farm provided a pastoral paradise for this enchanting July celebration, thoughtfully planned by About Thyme Events. Sam glowed in a beautiful gown with delicate lace long sleeves and intricate leaf embroidery woven throughout the sheer fabric, creating a stunning botanical motif. The fitted bodice highlighted her silhouette, while a romantic white ribbon headband complemented her natural curls with effortless charm.

Her wildflower bouquet, designed by Secret Flowers, burst with vibrant poppies, cosmos, and orange blooms that mirrored the joyful palette of the day. Gordon made a distinctive style statement in a sage green suit that harmonized beautifully with the natural mountain setting. He paired it with a patterned shirt and a rich cognac leather tie, adding warmth and texture to his look.

Beneath a rustic wooden arbor framed by rolling meadows and dramatic mountain vistas, guests gathered in intimate rows to witness the ceremony. It was a vision of bohemian countryside elegance, with nature’s grandeur serving as the most magnificent backdrop.

After the ceremony, the celebration moved to the venue’s reception space, which was transformed into an eclectic gathering where whimsical met wonderful. Beneath twinkling string lights, guests enjoyed farm-to-table cuisine from an artisanal buffet featuring vibrant local vegetables and seasonal delicacies. Centerpieces of burgundy anthuriums, protea, and poppies arranged in minimalist glass cubes offered striking, modern compositions. The couple’s playful spirit shone in every detail—from neon accent lighting casting ethereal glows to a creative cake by Olivia Wilson, adorned with dried orange slices and whimsical figurines. Live bluegrass harmonies from South Hill Banks mingled with spins from DJs Bobby Metronome and Zack Decker, as the newlyweds danced beneath a canopy of stars, radiating joy and authentic mountain charm.

Bathed in golden light and surrounded by nature’s splendor, Sam and Gordon’s celebration was artfully chronicled by Tom Daly Photography, whose graceful composition honored both the setting and the spirit of the day. Their Charlottesville wedding at Montfair Resort Farm was a breathtaking blend of rustic charm and heartfelt romance, perfectly capturing the beauty of the Virginia countryside.
