Real Weddings: Alyssa + Andrew

Alyssa and Andrew’s Baltimore garden wedding is so classic and elegant! They chose the Sculpture Garden at the Baltimore Museum of Art for the ceremony location. Photography was provided by Jocelyn of Studio Mathewes.

I never tire of looking at pictures of brides with their fathers. The emotions expressed, that combination of  joy and sadness, are so pure.

I love the ivory beaded clutch and the embroidered handkerchief, both are so timeless.

The escort cards were created by the bride’s mother, and the couple chose to make donations to the Washington Animal Rescue League in lieu of a favor.

The perfectly simple centerpieces and bouquets utilized non-traditional wedding flowers, and the vegan cake (the bride is vegetarian and the groom is vegan) was provided by Sticky Fingers Bakery.
