Kristin and Jonathan 7-25-09

Kristin and Jonathan held their evening eception in our Alexander Ballroom on July 25, 2009. The ceremony took place prior to their arrival to Waterford at Fair Oaks.





The cocktail hour was held in our Club Room. Kristin and Jonathan chose our International Cheese and Fruit Display for the displayed hors d'oeuvre station and there were also 3 butler passed hors d'oeuvres for their guests.

The couple's attendents created a tunnel for them to enter the ballroom -- this, of course, after the entire bridal party danced into the ballroom.


The couple danced their first dance prior to dinner being served, which was a buffet.

The Alexander Ballroom -- decorated with mugs and soaps on the tables, pink rose centerpieces from the Flower Gallery of Chantilly, and pink uplighting.



The couple chose to have their sweetheart table directly in front of the dance floor. This place was chosen so that their grandparents could be both close to them and the dance floor - to make sure that they did not miss a thing on this special day!







The party really got started after the cake cutting and everyone enjoyed the entire evening.

A White Horse was Spotted at Waterford at Fair Oaks...

Waterford at Fair Oaks hosted a traditional Indian ceremony last week. The drums, white horse, and people got the attention of the surrounding buildings of Waterford. The Groom started in the back parking lot on his white horse.
The family proceeded to the front of the building for the traditions of allowing the groom inside of the building. After a few minutes of discussing, he was finally able to come inside Waterford to see his bride. The wedding attendees first gathered in our Alexander Ballroom for a light breakfast and then moved into our Carrington/Serafin Ballroom for the ceremony.

7-11-09 - Weekend of Pink!

Waterford at Fair Oaks hosted three pink weddings on Saturday. Each wedding chose a different shade of pink and had completely different centerpieces and other decorations.

This wedding chose to use Waterford's mirrors and round vases for the centerpiece. Maryam's Flowers (maryamflowersbridal.com) picked up the vases on Friday and returned them Saturday morning with the centerpieces completed.

This wedding used the mirrors and round vases provided by Waterford at Fair Oaks. Their florist from Clifton (Cliftonfloristva.com) provided the blooms and sparkle. The florist arrived prior to the event and set up the centerpieces here.

This wedding brought in hot pink table overlays and their own vases for the centerpieces - each with ivory and pink roses.
