The Details
Food & Drink

The food was catered by Blackstone Caterers. Simone and Nate have a dog named Brimley who was unable to attend the wedding. As a result, they named their wedding drink after him.

Florals & Decor

The florals by Robin Hollow Florals added a touch of enchantment to Simone and Nate's wedding, perfectly embodying the vision of a traditional, romantic garden party.
