I met Danielle and Ben for a beer at one of my favorite spots in Hanover, Warehouse Gourmet. They too live in Hanover and love to eat there, so we thought it was the perfect spot to sit down and get to know each other before the wedding day! We ended up hanging out for over two hours, talking about things we like, have in common, and of course - the wedding details!

These two are some of the most inventive, creative, artistic people I've ever met! Their goal for the wedding was for it to be a mix of everything they love - all of their favorite things - and it was! Danielle is an artist and loves to create. Her mind was just bursting with so many ideas of things to incorporate into the decor, many of which had special meaning behind them.

As the months went on, Danielle and Ben would update me on how things were going with their handmade creations for the big day. I was completely blown away with how much they were able to accomplish together! They are such a team. I can't wait to share all of this with you... Wait until you see what they have made!

The wedding day was chilly and a bit windy, but sun filled the sky with hardly any clouds! Everyone got ready at Wyndridge Farm before heading back to Hanover for their beautiful church ceremony.

I love how the bridal party all wore socks with fox on them, representing the Wyndridge logo! Every detail of the day had a representation behind it! :)

I rode in the limo with the girls to the church which was super fun! Danielle and Ben created paper flowers for the church pews...

Their reception details were exquisitely created from the table number "paint brushed" cards to the paper cut-out topiary flowers... The table numbers were books that Danielle and Ben made themselves, including their "Bride and Groom" book that sat on their sweetheart table, made out of a football encyclopedia - the only book they could find large enough to fold all of the pages to read "Bride and Groom"! Every book was covered, and each page measured, and folded... themselves. They also created Lego sets of every milestone in their relationship. The day they met, their first date, moving in together, the proposal, and the wedding day... unbelievably creative! Paper lotus flower lantern cups were spread throughout the tables, that of course they made, and everywhere you looked, there was something unique and different that represented things they loved. Danielle said it was the "biggest art project" she'd ever accomplished! Her bridesmaids helped too with items like the topiary balls and paper flower tower near the welcome sign!

We headed back to Wyndridge for the reception and popped outside to brave the chilly air for a few portraits!

Their reception was so fun... The bridal party was introduced in with a Stranger Things remix (which was awesome!) playing, along with White Wedding and Ghostbusters. After the first dance, everyone mingled and enjoyed the party! The food was delicious, the guests were loving the atmosphere, the beer, and the company.

Sodas from Wyndridge as well as homemade Macaron Cookies (made by the matron of honor and her hubby, driven down all the way from I think Wisconsin, was it??) served as favors for the guests. Gorgeous little pastries from Patisserie Poupon were served to each table too. They were absolutely beautiful!

And after dinner, we popped back out for a few portraits of course!
