Timeless Black-Tie Romance at Josephine
Lilli & Zach
Set within the historic elegance of Josephine in Alexandria, Lilli and Zach’s early October wedding unfolded as a refined black-tie celebration marked by timeless design and thoughtful personal details. A palette of crisp whites, soft neutrals, and rich black accents complemented the venue’s classic architecture, creating a polished and romantic atmosphere.
The day was filled with quiet, meaningful moments, from tender portraits framed by architectural details to Lilli’s bouquet of white calla lilies, soft roses, and verdant greenery, a natural counterpoint to the evening’s sophisticated aesthetic.
The reception glowed with candlelight, as tables were styled with tall glass hurricanes, delicate florals in muted tones by She Loves Me, and crystal glassware. Playful touches revealed the couple’s personality, including vintage playing cards with handwritten notes and custom doodle artwork by Ellie, featured on matchboxes and chocolate favors from For Your Party.
An elevated in-house dining experience by Neighborhood Restaurant Group set the tone for an evening of heartfelt toasts, signature cocktails, and effortless celebration, while coordination by Jess and Daisha ensured the night unfolded seamlessly. Alexis Rae Photography captured the celebration with an emotive, editorial eye, preserving the warmth, elegance, and understated charm that defined Lilli and Zach’s wedding.
