Dress Code?
The event has a garden party formal dress code. We'd prefer women to wear longer dresses and suits for the men. Since this is a summer wedding with a garden/floral theme, we'd love to see fun colors. Our official wedding colors are light blue and light yellow, but feel free to wear what you think would fit the garden theme best....just no white:)
Can I bring a plus one or my kids?
We will not be allowing children or plus ones to the event unless formally invited. All invited children and significant others will be listed on the RSVP forms attached to this website under the section "RSVP". When you go to RSVP, type in your name and if your significant other and/or children are invited, their names will also be appear under your party to RSVP for. Only names listed on the RSVP form are invited to the event. While we'd love to invite everyone, this is a smaller, intimate wedding. If you have any questions, please contact Bella at 540-316-7458.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We ask that for the ceremony it is device free so that everyone can enjoy the ceremony and be in the moment. We will have lots of time outside of the ceremony for pictures. For the cocktail party and reception we encourage lots of photos and videos so that we can look back on the day through your eyes!
What are the start and end times?
The ceremony will start at 4:30pm sharp and the reception will end at 10:30pm. Make sure to arrive 30+ minutes before the ceremony to ensure you are on time. If your party arrives late to the ceremony we have to ask that you wait to join till after the ceremony is over so that there are no time delays or interruptions. Both will be held at the same venue.

Do you have a wedding registry?
While your presence on our big day is the greatest gift, we have created a registry that is available on this website under the tab "registry". Since we already have more than we could ever need, if you would like to help contribute to our honeymoon or future home we would be extremely grateful.
Are there any overnight accommodations nearby?
While there are no hotels in the town of Bluemont, there are in the adjacent town of Leesburg, VA. Because the drive is around 30 minutes to Leesburg, we recommend booking a local Airbnb or making plans ahead of time for overnight accommodation if you wish to stay at a hotel nearby.
Is transportation provided?
Because this is a smaller wedding, and most guests live locally, we will not be providing shuttle transportation. Please plan ahead if you will be drinking and need transportation. Please be aware that Bluemont is not a heavily populated town. If you are planning to utilize Uber or Lyft, be aware that it will be a longer wait and we cannot guarantee that you will find a driver.
What kind of food will be served for dinner?
This is a sit down, plated meal. The dinner will have 3 entrees to choose from (one will be vegetarian) and 2 standard sides. In the RSVP section there will be a spot for you to select a meal option. Please ensure you answer the question regarding food allergies or dietary restrictions so that we can assure proper accommodations ahead of time from our caterer. For the few invited children, there will also be an option for a child's meal if preferred
