A Cavalier Hotel Christmas Wedding in Virginia Beach VA

A December Champagne brunch

Tyler

and

Megan

Megan and Tyler shared vows at the Cavalier hotel with 60 of their closest friends and family. When you meet these two, you instantly are drawn to their fun and easy going personality. They decided to celebrate their marriage on a warm, sunny December day in Virginia Beach. Their details were a perfect mix of a modern and classic Christmas.

All of the guests sat at the large table inside the loggia surrounded by chandeliers and Christmas wreaths . A large tablescape of magnolia leaves and pops of pinecones ran down the table from end to end with little red bows holding each guests name tag.

Cleetus, their cute pup, was unable to attend but remembered by his large portrait displayed in cocktail hour. Instead of doing a traditional cake cutting, the two chose their first shared task as husband and wife by pouring champagne into the champagne tower because Champagne is always a good idea in the morning!

Thank you Megan and Tyler for having me spend your special morning with you!

A night under the Stars at the Cavalier hotel : Wedding Celebration of two cultures

Michael

and

Chen

Michael and Chen celebrated their nuptials at this historic cavalier hotel. They chose this place after Michael’s Aunt suggested it. Family and close friends flew in from all over the country.

The two wanted to create a magical evening under the stars while blending American and Chinese wedding traditions. Studio Posy created a vibrant floral piece with each flower and color chosen specifically to symbolize something meaningful for the couple. It was the backdrop where the couple exchanged their vows and performed their Chinese tea ceremony.

Chen’s parents were unable to attend the tea ceremony but were there via zoom and interacted (even passed a tea cup and napkin through the screen!) to honor Chen’s Chinese tradition.

Michael’s four nieces sang a beautiful song to guests to wrap up their ceremony….

As the evening progressed, so did the uplighting which revealed the theme for a night under the stars. It began with hues of candlelight and changed to deep rich blues to signal the night getting later. The couple was welcomed into the reception space after Chen changed into her traditional Chinese Wedding dress. Guests lined the dance floor and waived their firefly lanterns while the Dickens Band sang all evening.

At the end of the evening, Michael whisked Chen through the pathway lit by firefly jars and straight to the getaway car which ended up being Chen’s wedding gift, her dream VW Beetle.

A huge thank you to Emily Weddings for keeping the night flawless, Blue steel lighting, The Dickens band and Studio posy and Incredible edibles for your talent!
