Nestled in Locust Grove, Virginia, the historic Salubria manor offers a breathtaking backdrop for any event, especially a wedding. According to the Germanna Foundation, Salubria is an 18th-century Georgian-style manor house built around 1757. It was originally constructed for Reverend John Thompson. The house witnessed the growth of the Piedmont frontier. It played host to notable figures like Thomas Jefferson and the Marquis de Lafayette. A later owner, James Hansbrough, gave the property the name Salubria in the early 1800s. It means “healthful” in Latin. Despite the passage of time and the upheavals of history, the interior of Salubria has remained remarkably unchanged. It provided a perfect canvas for a Bridgerton-inspired wedding shoot.
Monique of OhhLaLa Events hosted and planned the event . She aimed to create a high-editorial shoot.

Monique drew inspiration from the lavish and historic sets of the popular Netflix show, Bridgerton. She curated a collection of classic and couture gowns that reflected her vision.
The gowns for the shoot ranged from timeless wedding dresses to striking couture pieces. This added an air of sophistication and luxury.

These intricate designs traveled all the way from North Carolina to Virginia, transforming Salubria into a floral wonderland. The installations added a whimsical and romantic touch to the historic setting. They blended past and present in a seamless display of artistry.
Magnolia Boone Paperie designed the exquisite stationery for the flat lay shots, adding another layer of sophistication to the shoot.
