A Backyard-Style Picnic Wedding at Arlington’s Hendry House

We shared a sneak peek photo of this casual Hendry House wedding last week. Here is the recap. After I first met with this couple and found out their wedding was to be held at Hendry House, I set out to secretly plan an all-Arlington Virginia wedding. Being an Arlington based business ourselves, I believe in supporting local small businesses. However, I didn’t want my desire to influence my client’s decisions. Ultimately, I thought we did pretty well and were able use quite a few professionals from Arlington. Enjoy all the bright and cheerful colors of this spring wedding!

Love the wisteria arbor so lush. It’s the perfect backdrop for a ceremony. Photo: Vicky Choy

To reflect the couple’s love of travel, we used a vintage map as a “guestbook.” Photo: Jay Premack

Nothing says a ‘backyard picnic’ wedding like pies. Heather Sheire of Livin the Pie Life in Arlington baked these goodies. Not one crumb was leftover! Photo: Jay Premack

The bride sketched out various city skylines that were meaningful to her and her groom and used the airport codes as table numbers. Loved the vibrant, cluster floral centerpiece design by Devers Design Group. Photo: Jay Premack

The Hendry House is a hidden gem in Virginia, tucked away in a residential neighborhood. It’s the perfect backdrop for a late spring / early summer wedding featuring bright pops of color. For events with a larger guest count, you will need to install a tent.
