Small wedding, the bride had to have Lily of the Valley, it is a special flower for her because it grew profusely in New Hampshire where she grew up. Lily of the Valley makes me nervous. When it is good it is the best but it is notoriously fickle. The wedding was early May, the date was chosen for best Lily of the Valley availability but a few days before the wedding there was a heat wave which wiped out local as well as my Pennsylvania back up source. However I was able to order from France and it came in exceptionally beautiful. Thank you Bethani Lynn for the beautiful photographs.
Classic Spring Wedding, National Cathedral and Cosmos Club
The bride really wanted a lily of the valley bouquet, the weather complied and we got so lucky with the most beautiful local blooms. The Cosmos Club allows taper candles which illuminated the reception in candle holders and candelabras. Gorgeous timeless photos by Liz Banfield, Planning by Devon Pearce of Pineapple Productions
