The Lodge At Crooked River

Mars and the Moon Films

Bonnie and Chad met as coworkers working at the same architecture firm. Once they figured out they had some of the same passions, like dub step and going to raves, they fell for one another.  They decided to have their wedding in a remote location tucked away in the mountains of Virginia. The most AMAZING part of their wedding day were the fire-dancers they had entertain their guests! Haha...SO excited to edit that sequence together!

Traditionally, we see a gorgeous garden party wedding with plenty of lace, especially when it comes to the wedding dress, and rustic touches. If you're looking for more of a flashy appeal, consider metallics, sequins and even a New Year's Eve wedding date!

We love the idea of using an old-school car as your reception exit vehicle.

Need vendors for your Vintage wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Vintage weddings are a romantic and popular style perfect for a couple who loves the glam of the 20s or simple beauty of the Victorian era. The vintage wedding style will fit in perfectly at a garden venue, estate or historic home or inn.

A vintage wedding is perfect for the romantic at heart. You can embrace the glamour of the roaring '20s or the modern retro of the '50s or even the bohemian natural beauty of the '60s. A vintage wedding style is broad and the definition is different for every couple. We recommend venues with a little history and to really embody the era your theme is based on from the attire to the reception exit.

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your vintage wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.
