Perfecting the Enchanted Garden Aesthetic at Pippin Hill Farm

We wanted a really lush floral arch and an elegant yet whimsical aesthetic. Christian told the florist to think of this as Allison Wonderland’s wedding. We wanted fully green chandeliers dripping with wisteria.

The Bride wore a Monique Lhuillier dress with a beautiful floral pattern. She made 5 trips by train from DC to NYC to choose the dress and complete all fittings. She also wore a Monique Lhuillier veil with colorful florals embroidered throughout. She wanted a unique scent to remember her wedding day by and loved wearing Monique Lhuillier perfume.

We gave the bridesmaids the color scheme and some inspiration and let each bridesmaid choose their own dress based on their preference.

Bride purchased extra wedding dress material and sewed a tie for the groom. She surprised him with this on their wedding day. He was really surprised, thought it really sweet, and cried when he saw it. There were hints of this in the wedding invite unbeknownst to the groom and guests.

They included their 7 year old dog, a Beagle-Dachshund named Citizen, as their flower girl and ring bearer. They had a custom white dress made for her because she has a long dachshund body and not other dresses quite fit. She high-fived the groom when she made it down the aisle and this was caught in a photo! We used a dog service to bring her to the venue, put her in her outfit, watch her until she went down the aisle, and took her home after some portraits with the couple.

We chose to support women-owned small businesses by only hiring women-owned businesses for ALL wedding vendors (with the exception of the DJ).
