Catie and Ben’s wedding at Mount Hope Farm on Saturday was romantic, colorful, emotional, and just plain fun from start to finish. These two met at Cornell (clearly very smart people) and in the past ten years they’ve traveled the world together collecting stories, memories, and apparently incredible wedding inspiration along the way. Each table was named after a different country they’ve visited which made the whole reception feel so personal and reflective of the life they’ve already built together. The florals were full of warm pinks, yellows, whites, and sunset tones, with bridesmaids in shades of pink and yellow that made everything feel bright, joyful, and very summer romance coded.
Catie is also a serious planner and every detail came together beautifully. As a Swiftie, she definitely gave the day a little Lover/Fearless energy especially when she and Ben shared their first dance to Fearless. And speaking of emotions… there were a lot of happy tears. From the private vows they exchanged after their first look to the heartfelt toasts later in the evening, Catie kept tearing up in the sweetest way. Honestly, these two are so obviously in love that it was impossible not to feel emotional right along with them.
AND just when guests thought the night couldn’t get any more fun, Catie disappeared during the reception and came back with about eight inches of hair chopped off like the icon she is! The crowd lost it. It perfectly matched the energy of the entire day... thoughtful and emotional while also being spontaneous and full of joy. This was a first for us! We've never had a bride get a haircut at her wedding! Watching Catie and Ben celebrate with all the people they love most was such a reminder that the best weddings are the ones where everyone is fully, unapologetically themselves.
