Best Garden Wedding Venues in Virginia

There is no denying that I am a sucker for outdoor weddings. Something about the fresh air and natural lighting feels incredibly romantic to me. While some people may be hesitant to commit to an outdoor wedding due to the unpredictable nature of the weather, I have selected a few lovely venues that cater to both outdoor and indoor preferences.

Being surrounded by blooming peonies and roses creates a romantic atmosphere.
