September Glen Ellen Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Sean + Katie

Sean met Katie at her workplace. “We had a lot of mutual friends, he had an interest in me first and I was seeing someone. Once that ended I made sure to let him know I was single. We hung out one night and never really left each other’s side.”

Sean proposed a week after they purchased their first house together. “We were at home and we were sitting on the couch talking about the house and decorating it. He went upstairs, got the ring & asked. He said it was so hard because we tell each other everything and he was forced to keep this secret.”

120 guests, including an eight-person bridal party, helped the couple celebrate their nuptials at Glen Ellen Farm. “We both grew up in Frederick with most of our family and friends living here so we knew we wanted to get married in Frederick. We attended a wedding at this venue two years ago and I fell in love with it. I told him that day I wanted to get married there.”

Katie and Sean chose a blush pink and navy blue color palette for their wedding decor. “I wanted a formal wedding with elegance. Our day was amazing. Sean and I have the most amazing group of friends and family. Our wedding party was so fun. There was never a dull moment and we laughed all day long.”

Katie is a waitress and Sean is a water quality technician. They currently reside in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.

Fall Linganore Wedding :: Theresa and Alexander :: Real Frederick Wedding

Theresa and Alexander met at work nearly four years ago. “Our friends encouraged us to get to know one another and we instantly hit it off,” shared Theresa.

Alexander had slipped off in January 2016 to secretly pick up Theresa’s engagement ring. “He had told both of our families that his plan was to hold onto the ring and propose in a couple of months. He came home that day and didn’t even make it through the night. He proposed to me while we were just hanging out around the house – he turned one of the most ordinary of nights into one of the greatest memories of my life. It was simply perfect to me.”

The couple had 120 guests in attendance for their indoor ceremony at Linganore Winecellars, including three bridesmaids and two best men. “Something that we did differently was having a cocktail hour before the ceremony! We wanted the opportunity to say hello to everyone and thank them for joining us before we said, ‘I do.’”

Theresa and Alexander chose a “rustic” theme with navy blue, ivory, green, and tan as their primary colors. “Our venue, Linganore Winecellars, was simply beautiful and has so much character. We were so impressed by the incredible fall foliage the day of the wedding – the colors were absolutely amazing.”

Both Theresa and Alexander work for the federal government. They currently reside in Sykesville.

Fall Linganore Winecellars Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Courtney and Dan

Dan planned his proposal to Courtney for nine months.

The day started with Dan’s sisters whisking Courtney away for a day-long scavenger hunt that included many of the places the two had spent time together, including a local farm and ice cream parlor. The final stop was their old dorm building. “I could see Dan standing there waiting for me. I eagerly opened the door and heard the music. The floor was decorated with candles and rose petals. Behind him, my eyes darted to hundreds of scrapbook pages on the wall filled with pictures and dating memorabilia.That wasn’t the only surprise though- Dan had me wave at a camera in the corner of the room and then explained that our family and friends had been watching the proposal and were waiting in the next building over to celebrate with us!”

135 guests were in attendance for their outdoor ceremony at Linganore Winecellars, including seven bridesmaids and five groomsmen. Dan’s father was the celebrant.

“Dan and his dad got old barn wood and gorgeous 100-year-old wooden doors and built an arbor for us to be married under and a set of doors to create a ‘back of the church.’ It was very important to Dan to not see me until the double wooden doors opened up.”

The couple chose to play up the rustic barn location with fall colors, including burgundy and ivory with touches of oranges and yellows.

Dan and Courtney had Ben and Jerry’s ice cream set out with the cake. “The dance floor was cleared when Ben and Jerry’s started serving desserts- but for a good reason! It was delicious!”

Courtney is a teacher in Frederick County. Daniel works for the U.S. Government. They currently reside New Market.

Rustic Coral and Mint Stone Manor Country Club Wedding :: Alissa and Kevin’s Real Frederick Wedding

Alissa and Kevin’s Stone Manor Country Club Wedding featured a coral, tan and mint color palette and perfectly coordinated rustic details.

Alicia and Frank of Happy Little Life photography describe the couple like this:

“As a couple, Alissa and Kevin are incredibly fun and genuine – it is hard to find a time when they aren’t laughing or smiling! Their wedding day was truly a reflection of who they are as a couple. From beginning to end, the day was filled with so much joy and happiness.”

And we agree! Every little detail is personalized and oh-so-sweet. We adore everything about this darling wedding, including the sweet father-daughter first sight!

In Alissa’s words:
As I woke up on my wedding day, after staying with my bridesmaids, we were all excited and ready to go! No sooner after I woke up we were at Stone Manor Country Club and starting to get ready! I felt like a little kid on Christmas as I walked around and saw Katie from Rose Gold Events & Styling setting up all of the decorations I had worked so hard to create (and find) over the last 8 months. There is nothing like FINALLY seeing your vision come together! My wedding day was picture-perfect, from the guidance and set up from Rose Gold Events & Styling; to hair and make-up from JKW Beauty; to guidance, timelines, support and beautiful pictures from Happy Little Life Photography; to an easy going fun ceremony from Joyce Hilbery; to lastly fun, entertaining, and memorable music from The Dynasty Dj’s Carroll and Zach Higgins! And how could I forget the beautiful venue of Stone Manor Country Club and the delicious food from the Carriage House Catering. Everything happened exactly as it was planned to happen with the help of the exceptional wedding team. It didn’t actually hit me that I was about to get married until we are all lined up at the door about to start walking out for the wedding and one of my bridesmaids said, “Alissa don’t cry or get mad, it might be raining just a little bit.” At the moment, I couldn’t feel mad or cry – I was too excited! Supposedly the ceremony was 25-30 minutes but I am not even sure because from the moment I walked down the aisle to the end of the night, time flew by as we had the perfect wedding celebration. My goal for the wedding was to have fun and have a wedding that would be talked about for a long time. Well almost 4 months later, we are still having friends and family come up to us and talk about how beautiful and fun our wedding was!
