Helen and Alec met at Virginia Tech College. Helen was attracted to Alec because of the way he carries himself, and Alec couldn’t stop admire Helen’s beauty and her intelligence. They love spending time together at breweries, hiking in the mountains, cooking, and etc. On January 12, 2019, they both went to hike as usual but then got lost in the mountains and it was snowing. Interestingly, Alec turned that day into an unforgettable day by asking Helen to marry him. On Saturday March 7, 2020, they both exchanged vows and celebrate their union at John Marshall Ballrooms in Richmond, Virginia.

There are so many venue options when it comes to modern weddings. Lofts and rooftops are popular choices for this wedding style, but we like the idea of mixing it up a little by exchanging your vows at a museum, distillery or even a nightclub.

Bold signage is everything at a modern wedding—the larger, the better!

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

The modern wedding style is typically very clean and sleek with a minimal color palette and some metallic details. Wedding attire is sophisticated and chic and the florals are often monochromatic or greenery-heavy. Think bold lines or geometric designs when it comes to the overall décor details 

A modern wedding style is refined and simple, but daring. It's typically a formal vibe and we see a lot of white and black with modern weddings, but also bold colors like teal, eggplant and fuschia. The décor often features florals like calla lilies or dahlias, as well as ghost chairs, Edison bulbs, neon signs and greenery walls. The fashion is a big component of modern weddings—we love a fearless colored suit or backless sheath gown.

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