Sarabeth and John were able to pull off an amazing, intimate wedding during the power outage of 2012!  Kudos to the many vendors who stepped it up and ensured that the couple’s day went off without a hitch!

How did you meet?

I was living in a downtown loft apartment in Lynchburg and visited John’s store–Galaxie Modern— while out shopping and ended up buying a coffee table.

Tell us about your dress, shoes and other accessories!

My dress and shoes were purchased from Church Street Bridal. The dress was altered by the Gilded Thimble in Bedford. It was the first dress I tried on and I felt like it was the right dress when I first saw it. Breaking with tradition, my then-fiance accompanied me to the bridal shop and helped me pick out the dress.

How did you choose your venue?

I wanted a small, intimate wedding. We had just purchased the house and thought it would be a perfect setting for a small ceremony and to begin making lasting memories of our wedding and home.

Describe your decor and how you chose it.

Some of the items came from my husband’s store while my mother spent hours on Pinterest scoping out wedding ideas.

What detail did you like best about your wedding day?

 Being able to have the wedding ceremony in our home with my family, closest friends, and dogs present.

What was your favorite moment during your wedding day?

I loved our exit with the lavender being thrown at/on us and my car being decorated.

What’s next on your calender as a couple?

We just returned from a short honeymoon trip to Williamsburg and are looking forward to getting our new home set up and planning a winter trip to somewhere tropical.
