Summer weddings are a personal favorite of mine. My wedding took place in the summer. (I was a June bride!) I loved how the vibrancy of the season inspires such a rich variety of wedding styles and color palettes.

And perhaps my favorite summer wedding style are intimate garden fetes, such as this styled celebration at Rust Manor House in Leesburg, Virginia! Nestled among the trees of a 68-acre nature sanctuary, this property is the perfect venue for a garden wedding.

A soft pink & green color palette created a romantic aura complementing the property’s natural surroundings.

the ceremony

These half-circle steps that are the perfect stage for a ceremony. The building’s front facade creates a home-y, intimate feel when acting as a backdrop for this kind of celebration.

The library may be my favorite room in Rust Manor House!

Rust Manor House’s dining room is full of ornate details like its fireplace, mirrors, and delicate chandelier.

sunset

Golden hour is my absolute favorite time for portraits! Anytime I can schedule portraits during this time on a wedding day, I will. It’s too beautiful of a time to pass up.

Those just married feelings 🙂
