Romantic Virginia Mountain Wedding Welcome Party at The Homestead Resort
If you’re planning a wedding welcome party in Virginia, this celebration is full of mountain-inspired ideas and Southern hospitality. The Homestead Resort in Hot Springs offered the perfect backdrop for a relaxed yet refined pre-wedding gathering surrounded by panoramic Blue Ridge Mountain views. With its blend of classic Virginia charm and natural beauty, this celebration shows how effortless and meaningful a mountain wedding weekend welcome can be.
This elegant wedding welcome party featured a gorgeous sunset surrounded by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hosted at The Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, Virginia, this was the couple’s first celebration of their wedding weekend with guests and included beautifully detailed wedding welcome gifts for all of the guests.
Guests enjoyed gathering with friends and family to celebrate the couple and start the wedding weekend off right. As twilight turned to evening, the celebration continued under a breathtaking sunset sky painted in pink and orange hues and we are so excited to share the gorgeous images from Demi Mabry Photography.

Personalized wedding welcome bags included a full itinerary for the wedding weekend in a beautiful watercolor inspired design that matched the rest of the wedding celebration’s stationery. Inside the chic naturally textured tote bags, guests were gifted local treats including Virginia peanuts, mountain spring water, mini honey jars, and gummy candies. For a little fun, the couple included a chic deck of cards in each welcome gift bag. Each bag was wrapped in green and white tissue and finished with a monogrammed gift tag and satin ribbon, adding a touch of Southern charm.
Friends and family gathered on the charming resort lawn for cocktails, conversation, and treats. The panoramic mountain views bathed in golden light were truly spectacular. The relaxed atmosphere encouraged mingling and laughter, with guests dressed in effortlessly stylish attire.
The bride looked stunning in a romantic blush and white mini dress adorned with floral appliques, while the groom opted for a light plaid jacket and khaki trousers for a polished yet comfortable look.
