Best of 2020 | Virginia Wedding Prepping Moments

Best of 2020 | Virginia Wedding Prepping Moments

Moving forward from some of my favorite prepping details from last year… Time to share my favorite Virginia Wedding Prepping Moments from 2020! 🙂 So much love and beauty from this part of the day!! Hair and makeup is done, and it’s finally time to assemble the entire look! Sometimes it might also mean an early morning rise. Nothing a little champagne, music, and good company can’t help. 😉 I love walking into the room filled with excited gals/guys for the big day!! Emotions are running high as the much anticipated day is *finally* happening!

For these 2020 couples, the anticipation was REAL. So many of them had no idea if the day was actually going to happen or if they would have to postpone (again)… I’m happy that many of these couples were able to celebrate and tie the knot! Some of these couples below had way different plans than what is actually pictured below. In fact, one of them planned to get married in Hawaii THIS YEAR and decided to disregard that initial plan! Despite downsizing the guest list and plan a different vision for their big day, they kept an optimistic attitude. 🙂 Enjoy checking out these joyful moments below!!! I’m so honored my couples had me join them for this intimate time of their day. I’m excited to share more of their joyful moments throughout the weeks to come!!
