Old World Splendor and Romantic Grace at Dover Hall

Within the majestic Dover Hall, Alex and TJ exchanged vows beneath soaring coffered ceilings and chandeliers casting a warm golden glow across the varicolored stone walls. Weddings by Vogue adorned the space with lush, garden-style florals—ivory ranunculus, blush roses, lavender stock, and cascading greenery that framed the ceremony in romantic softness. Bridesmaids in champagne silk gowns carried matching bouquets, while Chiavari chairs lined the polished hardwood aisle leading to the grand carved fireplace. Its mantel, crowned with an ornate gilded mirror and floral garland, glowed beside the flickering hearth. Velvet burgundy drapes framed the towering windows, completing the atmosphere of European grandeur and organic garden beauty. Water & Wine VA orchestrated the day with meticulous care, ensuring each moment flowed with quiet sophistication.

For the reception, Dover Hall’s opulent interior was reimagined with ivory linens, glowing candlelight, and textural details that balanced refinement with warmth. Low centerpieces of blush and champagne roses, ivory lisianthus, and trailing smilax added natural romance, complemented by floating candles and gold-framed table numbers. The sweetheart table, set before the grand fireplace and draped in garlands of pink and cream blooms, formed a breathtaking focal point of the evening. Guests dined on a seasonal menu prepared by Dover Hall’s culinary team, while Rhythm of Love kept spirits high well into the night. Brittany Lowe Photography portrayed the celebration with refined artistry, highlighting both the grandeur of the hall and the genuine affection that filled it.

Alex and TJ’s May wedding was a celebration of love, sophistication, and Old World romance—an unforgettable day where history, beauty, and joy intertwined within the storied walls of Dover Hall.
