Classic spring wedding at The Greenbrier Resort, WA Pin it

The Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia was the obvious choice for Sophia and Jack's spring city wedding, thanks to Sophia's family ties to the local area and the historic property, known as America's Resort. They enjoyed a gorgeous wedding weekend, which included a pre-wedding game of croquet, rehearsal dinner at rustic Howard's Creek Lodge, chapel wedding ceremony and elegant reception full of fluffy white flowers.

Sophia's love for flowers was echoed in her floral appliqué gown from Mira Zwwinger, which featured a removable long sleeve overlay. As a fashion-lover, Sophia knew she wanted a wow second dress so worked with a seamstress to create a custom pink dress, in a shift style with dramatic bow at the back.

The city wedding was full of special family moments, all beautifully captured by destination wedding photographer and Fine Art Curation member, Lisa Blume. Sophia explains: "My mum had her signature tambourine ready in her reception chair to get the party started, and my brother Anthony gave a nostalgic speech about how we used to love the grand Easter egg hunts at The Greenbrier as young children.

"The winner was always the child who found the golden easter egg and the prize was an enormous chocolate bunny created by the resort chocolatiers. Despite being incredibly competitive, I never won this coveted bunny. The theme of Anthony’s speech was that while I never the golden egg as a child, I managed to collect the many ‘golden eggs’ of life, culminating in finding the love of my life in Jack. To cap off the speech, Anthony presented me with a giant chocolate bunny dressed as a bride, created by the Greenbrier team! It was such a fun and special moment."
