Lush, ruffly and romantic, this winter wedding at the Lord Baltimore Hotel from Brittany DeFrehn Photography is simply stunning! Bride, Lacey, shares her favorite parts of her wedding day!  “The vision for our wedding was a romantic and timeless style with a little bit of sparkle! There were three design pieces for the wedding that set the stage for the entire evening. The first was the whimsical metal tree that was outside the ballroom for the ceremony and reception. This piece had clear glass balls filled with glitter and strings of swarovski crystals hanging from all the branches. All the glitter and crystals caught the light and made everything sparkle. The programs, seating cards and wedding favors were displayed under the tree during different times of the night. The second design element was the vintage arbor that was centered before the aisle for the ceremony and later used as a backdrop for the cupcake table. A chandelier hung from the arbor and made the aisle look magical and felt very romantic. The arbor and chandelier were bought while the Bride and Mother attended a craft fair down in Leesburg, VA in the summer of 2014. The third and biggest statement for the wedding was the design wall that was hand built by the Father of the Bride. The Bride, her mother and several dedicated friends and bridesmaids helped stuff the 7 foot by 9 foot wall with tissue paper, making a large design. Over 10,000 sheets of tissue paper were used to create the romantic backdrop for the ceremony and head table.

Some of my favorite memories of the day include getting ready with all my loved ones and bridesmaids. The beautiful song that was sung during our ceremony, the live artist who painted throughout our entire evening and how our photographer was able to catch our first look. Our first look just looks just like us, Chase’s expression when he saw me for the first time was so cute and so typical him!”
