Happy Monday! Today we have a romantic Carnegie Institution wedding for you that was simple, elegant, and full of quiet love. We love that Allie and Brian chose a color story that was heavy on clean whites and pops of wine and peach. It fit in so amazingly well with the stunning DC wedding venue that is the Carnegie Institution. We also love the Coca Cola favors and the polaroid guest book. And don’t forget that stunning cake from United with Love vendor Fluffy Thoughts. The delicious food was catered by Spilled Milk Catering so you know it was bound to be amazing!

According to their photographers, Susie and Becky Photography, Allie and Brian are a private and composed couple. They didn’t want a big show of the first look and went through the day quite calmly, although very happily. But there was one moment when all their emotions broke through. As Allie completed her vows, which were witty, touching, and sincere, Brian choked back a sob. He reached out for her hand and pulled her close, so very quickly. It was over almost as soon as it happened, but Susie caught it. We love intimate moments such as this on wedding days. It makes it all the more sweet. Thank you to Susie and Becky Photography for sharing this sweet wedding with us today.
