Samantha and Brian began working with Storybook only 4 months out from their wedding but they had already booked an amazing team of vendors to bring their sophisticated and modern vision to life.

The Dalcy created a stunning backdrop for their winter inspired palette of black, white, and emerald green.  Her bridesmaids wore elegant emerald dresses accented by fur stoles that had us dreaming of snowy days!

Countryside Floral Shop created classic centerpieces of lush greens, hydrangeas, and white roses accented by the clear glass and soft candlelight.  The real stunner though, was their hanging greenery mixed with twinkling lights and delicate baby’s breath that hung above the head table to accent our beautiful couple.

Not only did this wedding have a delicious cake from Molly’s Cupcake but our groom Brian built an adorable donut wall to add to their dessert display! The delicious donuts from Do- Rite added a fun touch all the guests loved to munch on all night long.

Brian and Samantha chose the Talking Heads “This Must Be the Place” as their first dance and invited everyone to join in part way through to begin a wild night of dancing. This song meant so much to them that Brian had the title embroidered on his pocket square, a small detail that had a big impact!
