The Salamander Resort in Middleburg, VA, is the perfect getaway from a busy life and work and for a sweet summer garden proposal. Nestled in the heart of Virginia’s horse country, this luxurious resort offers a blend of elegance and charm that sets the stage for a truly magical experience. What Tynelle thought was just a staycation from the DC city life, turned out to be, not one huge surprise, but two! Here’s a detailed recap of this luxury proposal:
The Venue: A Garden Oasis
The Salamander Resort is renowned for its picturesque gardens, offering a serene and beautiful setting that enhances any special occasion. The gardens are a lush, green retreat that provides a sense of tranquility and exclusivity, perfect for a romantic proposal.
The Proposal Decor Setup: Simple and Sophisticated
The proposal took place in one of the resort’s private gardens, where the ambiance was carefully curated to reflect both elegance and contemporary style. At the heart of the setup was a green box wall, which served as the backdrop for the big moment. The green box wall, adorned with lush greenery, provided a sophisticated contrast to the vibrant garden surroundings.
Attached to the wall was a large neon sign that read “Will You Marry Me?” creating a dynamic focal point for the proposal. The combination of the lush garden, the stylish green box wall, and the glowing neon sign created a classic and memorable proposal space.
The Proposal Experience: A Magical Moment
As the couple arrived at the garden (with the photographer and videographer casually placed in the area), they were greeted by the beauty of the curated setting and the glowing neon sign. This proposal was heartfelt, intimate, and proof that you can still make a grand gesture with a private proposal with just you and your partner. Simple and sophisticated for a classy couple!
The Surprise Dinner: A Family Reunion
Not so fast! After the proposal and photoshoot, the vendors packed up and left… to rush to the second surprise of the afternoon! The couple headed to Harrimans Grill, the resort’s renowned dining venue, for dinner. However, upon arrival, they were escorted to a private dining room where a heartwarming family reunion awaited.
Family had traveled from near and far, including some coming all the way from Canada, to surprise Tynelle and celebrate the new fiancés. The couple was greeted with cheers and congratulations from their loved ones and a custom menu to the Future Mr & Mrs. The ambiance of the private dining room, along with the surprise reunion, made the evening truly exceptional and allowed the couple to celebrate their engagement surrounded by those they hold dear. Cheers!
