The Ultimate Day Trip Guide + Micro Wedding Giveaway
We've been hard at work over here at The Scout Guide Alexandria scouting out the very best businesses in town to feature in our next guide set to release in Spring of 2021. The photoshoots are already underway and we're gearing up for one of our best books yet! This year we have a few tricks up our sleeves and we can't wait to share what we've been working on.2020 has been a challenging year for us all but especially for our small businesses. We are doing our best to give them a boost during these uncertain times and we have come up with a fun way that you can participate too.
This year we are partnering up with our friends over at TSG Hunt Country to give you guys the ultimate Day Trip Guide to both Alexandria and Middleburg. Since we aren't traveling internationally, local trips and staycations are in higher demand. While we have some insider scoop on what to do, where to eat, and places to stay in each city, we'd love your expert input! We're asking you to nominate your favorite business in Alexandria and Hunt Country for a chance to see that business in both volumes of TSG in 2021! Plus, there is a little something extra in it for you too; you can win a $100 gift card to a winning Alexandria and Hunt Country business!To nominate your favorite business, please head to our Instagram @tsgalexandria and @tsghuntcountry on October 13th.But that's not all we have up our sleeves this year! We're also giving away a micro wedding to a COVID bride and groom to be featured in TSG Alexandria. Instead of using models for our wedding shoot, we will be using a real bride and groom during our styled wedding! This pandemic has been hard on so many people, but we especially feel for the brides and grooms that have had to postpone their weddings. We hope this small ceremony and feature in 2021's TSG Alexandria will put a smile on their faces. Follow @tsgalexandria and be on the lookout for how you can enter to win the wedding or nominate a bride/groom you think deserves a little spoiling!

- • Wedding styling and direction - Birch Event & Design
