An Elegant Garden Party | Style Shoot

So last week I introduced you to Amanda and her team from Ashley Baber Weddings. Today, I would like to share a peek into the beauty that can unfold when a wedding designer teams up with this area’s finest vendors for your wedding. This was a beautiful set up at Bliss: A Fine Wedding Fair. You are looking at the incredible talent of Amanda Gray (stylist), Amy Thornburg (florist), and Jennifer England (cake artist). Are they not an incredible trio?! And they are all local to Lynchburg. So beautiful.

Ashley Baber Weddings | Professional Wedding Planners

Earlier this winter I had the pleasure of getting together with the ladies of Ashley Baber Weddings (the Virginia team) at Blenheim Vineyards in Charlottesville, VA. We spent some time walking the grounds of the Blenheim Vineyards while Amanda gave us the unofficial tour of one of her favorite wedding venues. It is such a beautiful location! The view behind the winery is incredible and I’ll be sharing more pictures of the grounds with you all later this week. Ashley Baber Weddings is a group of talented and experienced wedding planners serving Southeastern US. Amanda heads up the Virginia office (they have offices in Atlanta, Virginia and Charlotte!) and works regularly with Allie and Emily throughout Central Virginia. These ladies absolutely love what they do and they do it very well. I have such respect for wedding planners, designers and coordinators because while my job on the wedding day is to do my best to capture the day while also pleasing the couple and their attendants, it is a planner’s job to make everyone happy. This includes the bride and groom, their families and attendants, and all of the industry partners who are a part of the day as well! I'm not the only one who thinks these ladies are working magic every weekend, though. Check out what others are saying about them, and more importantly, check out their client's testimonies on their website.

I’ll be writing later this week about the benefits of hiring a wedding planner. But for now, check out the beautiful ladies who make up the Ashley Baber Weddings team here in Virginia!

First, meet Amanda:

And Emily:

What a beautiful team!
