mairead and david tied the knot at the charming on sunny slope farm outside harrisonburg, virginia on october 12th, 2019. julie from kruse & vieira events designed a stunning fall inspired wedding for the couple. our vendor team included la birdie photography, the bachelor boys band, family ties and pies, ms events, studio 321, and steelcut flower co. la birdie captured behind the scenes shots of the set up for the wedding. mairead and david also chose to jazz up their traditional plated reception with the addition of a seasonal family style side. they were also ahead of the trend featuring pantone's 2020 color of the year classic navy in their design elements. cheers to mairead & david!
