There was an instant connection when Dave and Kate got coffee for the first time after meeting online. She knew he was special from the start and they fit together perfectly. When planning their elegant winter brunch wedding at the Hay-Adams Hotel, they knew exactly what they wanted… and with Kate’s 7 years of experience in the wedding industry, it only took them six months to plan!

Kate paired her Matthew Christopher gown with diamond and pearl earrings that belonged to her great aunt. Her entire look was the epitome of romance! After a touching first look on the roof, the couple joined their wedding party for portraits in front of the hotel. Sequined Adrianna Pappell bridesmaid gowns were the perfect choice to complete the elegant look Kate was going for. After signing their ketubah, they joined family and friends for an intimate, candlelit ceremony in the Hay-Adams Room followed by a brunch reception at the Top of the Hay. They incorporated their love for travel with personalized luggage tags as escort cards, and their love for brunch with a Mimosa and Bloody Mary bar during cocktail hour!
