Rustic Elegance at Holman Ranch: A Neutral-Nuanced Wedding Dream

The bride and groom envisioned a traditional wedding with a touch of the outdoorsy and whimsical. Their celebration beautifully captured this blend of classic and natural charm, resulting in a truly unique and enchanting event.

The groom proposed in Washington D.C., the city where they lived at the time, while on a hike with their dog, a German Shorthaired Pointer named Lois.

The bride's sister, who also served as the maid of honor, looked stunning in a burnt orange strapless dress, adding a vibrant pop of color to the wedding party. Her choice of attire beautifully complemented the wedding's warm and inviting color palette.

The wedding meal, catered by Paradise Catering, was served family-style and included a mouthwatering selection of steak, salmon, and a delectable salad. The combination of these dishes created a truly memorable and satisfying dining experience for all the guests.

The floral arrangements were a delightful mix of roses, dahlias, ranunculus, and various greenery, showcasing a color palette that included soft shades of off white, orange, light pink, and an array of lush greens. These blooms beautifully harmonized with the wedding's natural and elegant theme.

The wedding cake stood as an impressive four-tier masterpiece, its pure white layers elegantly adorned with blood orange accents along the sides, adding a striking and vibrant touch to the dessert table. It was a delightful and visually captivating centerpiece of the reception.

The presence of a live band at the wedding set the stage for a night of non-stop dancing, with guests joyfully dancing the night away to the energetic tunes. The music added an infectious energy and unforgettable atmosphere to the celebration.

The officiant was a judge for whom the bride had served as a law clerk at the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Their professional connection added a meaningful and personal touch to the wedding ceremony.
