Katy and Phil’s wedding was a beautiful one! Lots of gorgeous flowers, the museum as a backdrop, and lovely people to work with. Most notably, her wedding dress was like none other I have ever seen! But all of these details were not simply for show. There was a lot more behind the story, that I’ll let Katy tell in her own words…

“Many of the wedding selections are motivated by my grandparents.  They lived next door to me growing up, and I saw them everyday until I went to college.  It’s heartbreaking for me that they won’t be at the wedding in person.  They would have been more excited and prouder than anyone.  I am thankful that Phil got to spend time with them before their passing.  Our flowers will be blue and green hydrangeas because those were my pap’s favorite.  He was an avid gardener and had several hydrangea bushes in his yard.  My wedding dress is also a nod to him.  Our cookie table will be comprised of my gram’s most treasured recipes.  In lieu of favors, we will also be donating to a food pantry where she volunteered for years before her passing.”
