Wedding Stories: Morgan + Tim at the Birkby House

On a sunlit day in Leesburg, Virginia, Morgan and Tim tied the knot at Birkby House, one of Loudoun County’s most beloved historic venues. Their celebration was a joyful blend of elegance and personality brought to life through carefully curated florals and a dream team of vendors who understood their vision from the very first meeting.

This is their wedding story, told through blooms, beauty, and the behind-the-scenes design moments that made it unforgettable.

Step One: From Inquiry to Inspiration

Every J. Morris Flowers wedding begins with connection. For Morgan and Tim, it started with a simple inquiry—filling out our wedding questionnaire and scheduling a complimentary consultation with our wedding and event manager, Sheila. 

During that initial conversation, we explored:

• Their love story and wedding goals
• Color palette dreams (hint: they loved vibrant oranges and pinks)
• Must-have flowers, shapes, and textures
• Priorities for the ceremony, reception, and personal flowers

From the beginning, their vision was clear: they wanted a celebration that felt joyful, garden-inspired, and true to them.
