When one of our favorite weddings gets featured in a great wedding magazine, we all get really excited.   The bride & groom and their families put so much of themselves into their wedding and it’s just wonderful when they get recognized because the choices they made were really just as special as we thought!   Amy & Dustin’s romantic and beautiful wedding was just such a celebration – with a zillion little details dreamt of and created with love!    Michael Branscom did an outstanding job of capturing all that was really special about this wedding!

Amy is a former equestrian from St. Davids (who speaks Spanish like a native!) turned lawyer DC. Dustin is is a former Top Gun pilot with the U.S. Air Force who is now a consultant at a firm in Northern Virginia.

Aside from occurring in one of my favorite Philadelphia venues, the F.U.E.L. House in Philadelphia, the wedding’s color combination was stunning!   We used copper, super green, blush pink and ivory. We placed deep copper linens on the tables with handmade green dupioni silk runners. It just looked amazing. The flowers arrangements, created by the amazing team at Beautiful Blooms, were gorgeous bouquets and arrangements of perfectly blended tulips, peonies, tulips and sweet peas — and, of course, cherry blossoms! The invitations, seating cards and table numbers from the Papery were perfectly coordinated with green bands and copper ribbon. And, thanks to Lotus Cake Studio, the cake was a beautiful and delicious representation of the great invitations — proof positive that you don’t have to sacrifice a delicious cake to have a beautiful cake. (Read: you can look at your cake and eat it, too!)

Because the father and the groom (who was from Kentucky) shared an admiration of great bourbons, the guests were treated to a truly one-of-a-kind bourbon bar and handed mini-bottles of Knobs Creek bourbon at the end of the evening.

The bride and groom are also big movie buffs so they had a great time coming up with movie titles for table names while Amy’s mom went searching for the perfect movie posters to hang in the great upstairs bathroom.

We hope you get a chance to pick up the latest issue of The Knot, Pennsylvania!
