Meadowlark Botanical Gardens Wedding | Vienna, VA | Kendall and Claire

Cannot get over this perfect spring wedding day at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens! Surrounded by tulips and cherry blossoms, Kendall and Claire had an amazing backdrop for their intimate wedding with their closest friends and family members. You never know when peak bloom will happen each spring, but these brides got lucky with a perfectly timed wedding day for allllllll the flowers!

We began the day just a few minutes down the road at Wolf Trap for their first look. We had the park completely to ourselves!

Kendall’s dad had jokes to start the morning off 😂 For a split second he convinced Claire she had a wardrobe malfunction, resulting in a brief moment of panic followed by nonstop laughter from everyone!

Some last minute makeup touch ups in the car before heading in to Meadowlark.

This perfect tulip-lined path covered in cherry blossom petals is one of my favorite spots at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens! It’s pretty year-round but you cannot beat the spring blooms.

These two were just so sweet together ♥️

Claire and Kendall held their ceremony out on the Lake Caroline Gazebo, located at the end of a dock in the middle of Lake Caroline. With 360-degree views of the gardens and a ring of cherry blossom trees, it’s a beautiful spot for a small wedding!

In a crazy coincidence, both of their dads picked the exact same reading to do for the ceremony! Luckily they discovered this the night before the wedding so were able to make adjustments 😂 Both dads and their friend who officiated did an amazing job creating a sentimental ceremony with lots of laughter.

Hugs for everyone after the ceremony ♥️ and then the whole crew walked back up the path for some big group photos back near the entrance. It was the perfect ending for their amazing day!
