Laura & Shawn’s Private Estate Wedding in Monkton

The crisp air, the vibrant colors of fall foliage, and the warm glow of love – these were the ingredients that made Laura and Shawn’s wedding day truly magical. Their celebration, held at Laura’s childhood home in Hereford, Maryland, was a testament to the beauty of intimate gatherings and the power of personal touches.

Getting Ready in a Place Filled with Memories

The day began with Laura getting ready in her parents’ house, a charming dwelling nestled on the same property where she and Shawn had built their own home. Surrounded by family and friends, laughter and happy tears filled the air as Laura slipped into her gown, a vision of elegance and grace. Meanwhile, Shawn prepared for the day in their own home, the excitement building with every passing moment.

A Ceremony by the Pond

Wedding shoes, jewelry, and other bridal accessories are neatly arranged on a surface, possibly a dresser or table.

As the sun began its descent, guests gathered near the family pond, where Laura’s father had lovingly prepared the ground for a tented reception. The ceremony was a beautiful reflection of their journey together, filled with heartfelt vows and personal touches. One particularly special moment was when they passed their wedding bands around to all the guests, inviting everyone to be a part of their union and bless their rings.

A Magical Day

As dusk settled, the reception tent twinkled with the warm glow of starburst lights, casting a magical ambiance over the celebration. Guests dined on delectable cuisine, sharing laughter and toasts to the happy couple. The jewel-toned color palette, inspired by the rich hues of autumn, was woven throughout the décor, from the mix-and-match bridesmaid dresses to the vibrant floral arrangements featuring local blooms like dahlias and chrysanthemums.
