It's no
secret that the winter is my least favorite thing about life on the East Coast.
This year it seemed to come a little early with a surprise snow in October
and a bunch of cold and blustery days in November. So I really savor the Fall,
drinking in the crisp air, not quite cold yet, and tracking the slow color
morph going on in my backyard. Cynthia and Matt's wedding in Baltimore was
classic Fall with reds and yellows on the trees, bright blue skies, and light winds
across the harbor pushing cool clean air and opening up an incredible view from
the church and reception on the top floor of the Hyatt at the Inner Harbor.
Matt and
Cynthia chose a peacock feather theme for colors and decoration. I'm a big fan
of calming blues and greens and, I'm not going to lie, their theme was part of
the inspiration for the shoes I
painted for my sister last month. They had feathers on the tables, on the cake,
as hair clips, and as a boutonnière.
The
ceremony was at the historic Old Otterbein Church (built in 1785!) and, at
least on the shady side, was the perfect place for the first look and wedding
portraits. Once we got to the
reception DJ Lauren Bobby already had the music going to kick off the party.
The dance floor and all of the tables had an incredible 180 degree view of the
harbor and everyone had a great time eating, drinking, dancing, and celebrating
Matt and Cynthia and the promise they had just made: to love each other
forever.
