Where Rustic Elegance Feels Romantic at The Manor 1858 [Styled Shoot]

Set in the rolling countryside of Aldie, Virginia, this styled shoot at The Manor 1858 presents a refined vision of rustic elegance layered with romantic detail. The historic stone venue serves as a timeless backdrop, transformed through a soft palette of blush, coral, and sage green tones.

​

The ceremony setting is imagined with a lush floral installation designed by J. Morris Flowers, featuring arrangements of blush garden roses, coral ranunculus, white hydrangeas, and abundant greenery. The altar feels organic and expressive, offering couples inspiration for a ceremony that blends natural beauty with thoughtful design. A coordinating bouquet of blush and coral roses, soft white blooms, and trailing greenery completes the vision.

​

The reception concept continues this layered approach to design. Tables are styled with botanical-print linens in soft pink and golden hues, paired with black Bentwood chairs that introduce a modern contrast to the rustic setting. Amber-toned glassware and gold candleholders cast a warm glow across the tablescapes, while centerpieces of garden roses, eucalyptus, and flowing greenery add elegant dimension. Rentals from Curated Events DC complete the look.

​

A vintage white convertible from Camelot Classic Cars is incorporated as a styling element for portraits, adding a note of classic glamour. The scene is artfully brought to life through photography by Danielle Towle Photography and video by Bakerture Photo & Video, while live paintings by Spencer Grace Art offer a creative, experiential touch.

This styled shoot at The Manor 1858 serves as inspiration for couples drawn to romantic design, historic architecture, and thoughtfully layered details, illustrating how a celebration here can feel timeless, personal, and artfully composed.
