We’re excited to share the story of Sydney and Carter’s beautiful Preserve at Dundee Virginia fall wedding. Located just outside Richmond, the Preserve is a relatively new venue. It offers the perfect mix of countryside charm and city convenience. If you’re looking for a stunning Virginia fall wedding location, the Preserve at Dundee is an ideal choice.
Sydney and Carter’s wedding day was filled with joy, laughter, and personal touches. One of the standout moments of their Preserve at Dundee wedding was the series of hilarious toasts. Sydney’s dad gave a speech that had everyone in stitches, setting the tone for the rest of the evening. His heartfelt yet funny roast was followed by equally entertaining speeches from her maid of honor, best man, and Sydney’s brothers. The laughter and love shared during this moment perfectly captured the couple’s fun spirit.
One of the sweetest parts of this Virginia fall wedding was the involvement of Sydney and Carter’s longhaired dachshunds. The dogs walked down the aisle in tuxedo-style harnesses. At one point, one of the dogs even escaped, leading to a chase that had guests laughing.
Sydney and Carter also incorporated their friends in unique ways and fun memorial moments throughout the day. From friends serving drinks as guests arrived to donkeys delivering beverages during the cocktail hour, this wedding had plenty of special details that made it memorable.
The Preserve at Dundee offers breathtaking views, especially at sunset. As the sun set over the hilltop during cocktail hour, guests enjoyed the serene landscape while mingling with the couple. The golden hour light made this Preserve at Dundee Virginia fall wedding feel magical.
The reception featured farmhouse tables, mini pumpkins as table numbers, and candlelit décor, creating a cozy, elegant atmosphere. And, of course, the cake topper featured dachshunds to match the couple’s beloved pets.
The Preserve at Dundee is a fantastic choice for couples looking for a picturesque Virginia fall wedding venue. Its blend of rustic charm, scenic views, and proximity to Richmond makes it perfect for those wanting a countryside feel without being too far from the city. Sydney and Carter’s wedding perfectly showcased how the venue enhances the beauty and fun of a fall wedding celebration.
