Charlottesville Elopements: A DIY guide to getting married during a global pandemic, Cville Style.

Getting Hitched, Cville Elopement Style

July, 2020

Charlottesville is an amazing venue for just about anything. Music, check. Theatre, check. Foodie Scene, check! But Charlottesville Weddings? Check MATE! Whether it’s a glam venue, flirty farm or a moody overlook, this little gem of a city has you covered.


We’ve put together a selective list of some of our favorite spots in Charlottesville and the surrounding areas. We’ve enjoyed working with Cville brides at each venue and hope you see the love that went into each bouquet created for each.


Raven’s Roost Overlook

The dashing 180º view at Ravens Roost is just at the end of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Augusta County. Gorgeous depth and light perfect for the most breathtaking wedding photos.

Visit an hour before sunset to capture that “golden hour” Charlottesville is so famous for. Sprawling country side and the perfect size for a pandemic appropriate guest list.

The Old Metropolitan Hall


Are you looking for intimate Cville glam? Look no further than The Old Met! Seasoned professionals will guide you from start to finish in this prime Downtown Mall location. Upon entry, one may feel a sense of old school class. Think Gatsby or Frank Sinatra in his prime walking through the iconic lobby of The Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami. From the reflective mercury glass mirror focal point to the cool as ice chandeliers, no Charlottesville bride is ever disappointed by this location.

Get hitched at The Haven up the street or a nearby park. You can even opt to have your intimate ceremony inside, candlelit by the mirrors. Perfect for smaller intimate affairs.

See our most recent wedding at Old Met below. We were honored to be the wedding florist for this event! Get this look with the Classic Bridal Chic package HERE.


Shameless Plug…Thanks so much Marla! We loved your wedding so much! You made US look good!

“Jenn made my wildest floral dreams come true! I am extremely detailed and my wedding vision was unique and specific but I can honestly say that Jen understood and executed it to perfection! Each floral arrangement, bouquet, and boutonniere was STUNNING! Our wedding flowers were dramatic, vibrant, lush, and perfectly arranged. They provided the luxurious, elegant, and whimsical backdrop we were going for. Our wedding day was A TRUE VISION OF PERFECTION thanks to Fiori Floral Studio!”
