Our couple’s intimate ceremony was held on the porch of Portico at Awbury Arboretrum in Philadelphia, PA. Hazel Dust Studio adorned the steps with dusty pastel florals in organic, garden style. The bride wore a silk gown from Bronx and Banco from Revolve and was styled by Air Hair and Makeup. The groom wore a soft pink blazer and Bermuda shorts. The Flower Puppy, Leo, made a star appearance during the ceremony as well!

After the ceremony brunch was served via picnic gift boxes by Peachtree Catering. Guests dined alfresco on ethereally decorated tables and sat on comfy pillows. Seating was done “pod-style,” each table only contained families who quarantine together. Each table also had its own small wedding cake.
