Romantic Bridal Look

Tram’s bridal look was a flawless reflection of her romantic, yet whimsical theme; she wore an all-lace Allure gown and held a bouquet of dusty pink, white, and marsala roses. Her bridesmaids coordinated with floor length, beige Wtoo dresses and held bouquets of white hydrangeas.

Glam venue

The Virginia Beach Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) was the perfect fit for Tram and Dante’s garden glam wedding. For the ceremony, the couple said their vows under an exquisite, 16-foot glass chandelier created by the famous garden-loving glass artist Dale Chihuly.

The reception was held at MOCA’s indoor atrium, which is lined with living trees! Tables were covered in an abundant amount of wild foliage, garden flowers, and gold candle sticks. A simple, yet elegant 3-tiered cake, draped in garden leaves, stole the show in the corner of the room.
