"The Setting -The Past Meets The Future at Morven Park"
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful "Greek Revival Style Mansion" surrounded by 1000 acres of boxwood gardens, fields, lawns, and woodland. In the past, many brides have been married on these greens. Civil War history is hidden among our early 20th Century political legacy, as well as a rich equestrian heritage.  Morven Park, where fun comes in historic proportions. 

Now in 2009, Morven Park opens its doors again to Brides and Grooms as a beautiful mystical site for their ceremony and wedding reception. Areas that once saw slaves working on the plantation, Union and confederate troops skirmishing during the Civil War, and pure bred livestock grazing in the fields now host thousands of visitors each year attending equestrian events, special activities, guided tours and Weddings once again. Dating back to 1781, Morven Park looks to the future in Conservation and Preservation with a new geothermal heating and cooling system for the Mansion.""

L. H. Lindberg Photography, and our other digital photographers have long been contributing to the Going Green effort by not photographing with film but being all digital.  This cuts down on the need for tree pulp, and cutting out the caustic chemicals needed for film processing. Creating on line albums does not replace the traditional wedding album but offers more ways to share their pictures with friends and family.

Lux Photography again minimizes waste thru digital proofs, offering green albums and using local suppliers to reduce the carbon footprint.  Products are acid free to reduce impact they have on the environment and to promote longevity and conservation of images.  "Green Grass and blue skies make for dramatic wedding images" 

 This show is all about the Blue Ridge Wedding Destinations including two beautiful West Virginia Destinations -- Hillbrook Inn and The Bavarian Inn less than an hour away. Rehearsal Dinners and Encore Weddings are perfect at Lightfoot Restaurant in Leesburg. For a Vineyard setting, visit Hillsborough Vineyards. 

Historic Morven  Park has many vendors working with them for a spectacular event.  Vintage 50 is the event management company.  Alpine Restrooms offers you the latest in Restroom Gala.  Best Western and Comfort Suites offer you local accomodations.   Loudoun County Brides and Bouquets can help you with the look as well as Gala Cloths and Capital Party Rentals for the Linens.  Celtic Wedding Music is all about the Ceremony and then let Horizon Entertainment take you into an evening of dancing.

As far as your wedding attire, Lia Sophia offers you the opportunity to have a party and provide your bridal party with necklaces and other accessories.  If you have a family heirloom and like the stones but not the settings, have Hunt Country Jewelers customized your old jewelry creating a new heirloom you can past down.
