Is there anything more beautiful than two people who fell in love? For Andrea and Howard, life is full of responsibilities and high-pressure careers, so when it came to their wedding day, they wanted something simple yet meaningful. Surrounded by their closest family members, they chose the charming Red Fox Inn in the heart of Middleburg, Virginia, for their intimate elopement.
The Red Fox Inn, with its historic charm and secret garden, was the perfect choice for Andrea and Howard to say “I do.” The property’s natural beauty and meticulously maintained landscaping immediately captivated them. The garden’s tranquil setting, tucked away from the hustle and bustle, created a serene and private atmosphere, allowing the couple to focus solely on each other and their special moment.
Thanks to the expert planning of Kelley Cannon Events, the day unfolded seamlessly. After the ceremony, Andrea and Howard enjoyed a cozy, candlelit reception that was simply stunning. The florals and décor were thoughtfully curated, adding to the elegance and warmth of the evening. The soft glow of the candles, paired with the ambiance of wine and cheese, set the tone for a relaxed and intimate celebration.
The reception was a perfect reflection of the couple—elegant yet understated, sophisticated but still inviting. It was less about the grandeur and more about enjoying the company of their loved ones in a beautiful, serene setting. The details, from the décor to the service, were all in harmony, making for a memorable experience that was as meaningful as it was beautiful.
Andrea and Howard’s wedding was a lovely reminder that sometimes the simplest celebrations are the most heartfelt. By focusing on what truly mattered to them—their love, their family, and the peaceful setting of Red Fox Inn—they created a day filled with joy, connection, and beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.
