Glenstone Gardens: Fashion, Florals, and the Art of Tenting at the House of Pearl Workshop

I had the privilege of attending the House of Pearl workshop at Glenstone Gardens, a luxury venue hidden away in the Virginia countryside. The workshop was more than just an exploration of tenting—it brought to life two stunning editorials that showcased both the grandeur of Glenstone Gardens and a fashion-forward wedding design.

Glenstone Gardens: A Dream Venue

Glenstone Gardens is the perfect backdrop for any luxury event. The venue’s expansive lawns, beautiful gardens, and picturesque ponds set the stage for weddings that feel intimate and grand all at once. As we toured the property, it became clear why Glenstone Gardens is a sought-after destination for high-end weddings and editorials. It is private, exclusive, and there are several picturesque areas for events.

The garden views were the perfect canvas for a chic and bold wedding editorial that played with vibrant colors, luxurious textures, and a romantic ambiance. The bright fuchsia florals stood out brilliantly against the natural greenery of the gardens, and every detail was curated to reflect a playful but fashion forward summer wedding.

A Fashion-Forward Editorial

The first editorial was styled with fashion and nature in perfect harmony. Fuchsia florals brought a lively pop of color to the tablescapes, while bamboo chairs and rattan accents added an organic feel to the design. Blue linens complemented the floral arrangements, and every detail—from the elegant table settings to the couple’s stylish boat ride on the pond—echoed the colorful and modern vibe of the event.

The bridal fashion was another standout element. The model wore a Millia London gown in the most perfect blue. The resulting photos captured the ambiance of both the couple and the gardens.

The Art of Tenting

Though the editorial focused on the elegance of Glenstone Gardens, the tenting aspect was just as important. Throughout the workshop, we learned about the many types of tents that can be used to elevate an outdoor wedding at Glenstone Gardens, from clear-tops, to frame tents, to sherry tents, to sailcloth. Understanding the logistics behind tenting—from permitting to pricing and site visits—helped solidify the importance of choosing the right vendors and design elements for a flawless event.

A Complete Wedding Experience

For couples dreaming of a chic garden wedding, Glenstone Gardens offers the perfect venue for both ceremonies and receptions. The flexibility to design with bold colors, natural textures, and elegant fashion-forward elements ensures your wedding feels both personal and luxurious.

Whether you’re envisioning a tented reception with a backdrop of vibrant gardens or a romantic boat ride on the pond, Glenstone Gardens combines the best of both aesthetics and function, making it an ideal location for those seeking an unforgettable event.
