[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

The vibe of this wedding was classic colonial with simple but elegant touches. The couple went with natural tones such as deep natural greens and simple white for their flowers and reception details, which allowed both the venue and the fife and drum to steal the show on the way to cocktail hour and through the evening. The bride grew up in Williamsburg and went to William and Mary, so she was excited to showcase the Inn and colonial traditions of Williamsburg.
