Tell us “your story.” Griffin and I met in the Fall of 2011 when I moved up to Washington, DC. We served our church’s youth group alongside each other for two years before Griffin asked me out…and it has been an incredible adventure since then!
Griffin and I love full days of spontaneity and fun. December 14, 2013 was no different. We had a great breakfast, got library cards at the Library of Congress and then drove to Old Town to walk around one of our favorite spots- the Torpedo Art Factory. I absolutely love photography, and Griffin, knowing this, coordinated with one of the photographers to hang pictures of him holding chalkboard signs saying “Will You Marry Me?” After a moment of sweet surprise, Griffin got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said, “Of course I will!”
Describe your wedding in 3 words. Whimsical. Romantic. Fun.
We love your style! Tell us a little bit about your aesthetic… My favorite word is whimsy. Since I love bright colors and natural beauty, we dreamed of a colorful garden wedding with romantic flowers throughout. My motto was: “The more color, the better.” One of my biggest influences ended up being Bayley Smith at Big Events, Inc., who has an amazing eye for creativity and loveliness.
What was your very favorite detail from the day? I loved the beautiful flowers that lined the aisle making it feel so unique and special.
One thing you wish you would’ve know before you started wedding planning… To enjoy every second!
Tell us why you love EOH custom paper lovelies! I love Emily’s elegant and whimsical influences that make her papers so gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing your lovely day with us, Hillary!
