Elegant Garden Party at Birkby House

Gillian and Erick’s wedding at the historic Birkby House was a heartfelt celebration that perfectly reflected their connection, personality, and pure joy. With all their personalized details, the day was designed to feel timeless, intimate, and effortlessly sophisticated from start to finish.

Set against the charming backdrop of Leesburg, Virginia, the celebration embraced a soft, refined color palette of lavender, peach, sage, and ivory. These tones carried through every element of the design, creating a cohesive atmosphere that felt both classic and fresh. Loosely gathered floral arrangements added to the organic beauty of the day, giving the entire event a natural, garden-inspired elegance that complemented the venue’s historic features.

A major part of bringing that vision to life was Kelley Truxel of Event Studio, who served as floral designer, decorator, and coordinator. Her thoughtful design work, along with custom signage, glowing candles, and lush greenery, created a beautifully layered and romantic environment. Elegant rentals from Select Event Group completed the look with a refined, cohesive foundation.

More than anything, the day was defined by connection and celebration. Surrounded by their favorite people, Gillian and Erick experienced a high-energy, joy-filled wedding where the dance floor stayed full and every moment felt meaningful. It was a true reflection of their relationship — vibrant, loving, and completely their own.
