Rachel, a communications professional from Connecticut, and Corey, a tech product manager from Bethesda, connected on the Jewish dating app Lox Club. For their first date, they met up for coffee in Blagden Alley “on a cold January day,” and then walked to Logan Circle. A year and a half later, Corey proposed after a hike at Sugarloaf mountain, and arranged for friends and family to wait at the winery below to celebration.

Wedding colors included powder blue, sage, lavender, and cream. Special details included the tables named for the pair’s nine favorite coffee shops (with little blurbs at each, describing their favorite memories there); favors that included locally-made chocolates and Fisher’s Popcorn; and yellow in tulips at the base of the chuppah that honored Corey’s late mother. For the menu, the couple chose lots of appetizers at cocktail hour including baby crab cakes and mini chicken and waffles, and then the seated dinner featured tuna crudo, filet, and scallops. The signature cocktail was a family favorite:  “Aunt Kelly’s French Martini,” named after the drink Corey’s Aunt Kelly likes to make when the family gathers at Rehoboth Beach. “Aunt Kelly didn’t know,” says Rachel, “and Sarah caught the moment of her surprise perfectly!” The formal wedding took place on a Friday, so the couple decided to host an even bigger, lower-key party on Saturday, renting out Potter’s Craft Cider and hiring a bluegrass band for the occasion. “We decided to make it “mountain casual” and allow kids, with taco and pizza trucks instead of a seated dinner, ensuring it would feel very different and more relaxed than our wedding night. It was the cherry on top to a perfect weekend!” See the details from their big day below.   The Details Photographer: Sarah Houston Venue: Pippin Hill Farm Planning and design: Donovan-Groves Events Florist: Blue Ridge Floral Design Invitations: Halo Designs Cake: Cakes by Rachel Hair: Top Knot   Bride’s attire: Jenny Yoo, Anthropologie Groom’s attire: Suitsupply Groomsmen’s Attire: Indochino Music: Sound Enforcement Rentals: MS Events Favors: Gearharts Fine Chocolates; Fisher’s Popcorn Transportation: A&A Limousine CaThe post A Powder-Blue Spring Wedding at a Virginia Winery first appeared on Washingtonian.
