The Stationery When Rae began researching stationery options, she looked for more of a scrawl than a traditional script, in the end turning to the calligraphy of Betsy Dunlap. The elegant serifs at once feel timeless with a vintage influence. Sarah Parrott of Parrott Design Studio incorporated Betsy’s work into the letterpressed white and navy invitation suite. To add a bit of pattern, she backed the card stock with printed paper that felt like old wallpaper. Sarah also created the couple’s save-the-date, a gocco-printed bookmark that read “You’re booked,” and included the couple’s wedding website as well.

The Venue Rae and Noah fell in love with the otherworldly Metropolitan Building, with its chateau-inspired architecture and antique furniture; their choice was fitting given Rae’s profession (she’s an art historian), and her mother’s (she’s an antique dealer). The venue also felt a little less traditional, a little more magical, and a bit eclectic — which were details the couple searched for in their potential wedding locations. The Metropolitan Building also boasts several bird cages, which spawned a dove theme for the wedding; also fitting given the groom’s name and its Biblical origins. Together with designer and planner Xochitl Gonzalez of Always a Bridesmaid, they relied on the venue’s unique charm to create the perfect vision of their wedding.

S’mores The couple’s friend Lora Pietrangelo packaged s’mores kits in paper bags. Each contained homemade marshmallows, graham crackers, and Hershey’s chocolate bars. “S’mores” was stamped in white wood-grain lettering on each bag.

The Reception Mismatched vintage trim, paper chains, and ribbons draped over the space like streamers. Window boxes of dried grasses were installed. Navy chair cushions echoed back to the palette

Cocktail Hour The cocktail hour and reception were both hosted in the barn. Straw wreaths (a recurring symbol of the wedding rings the couple exchanged) hung on the doors; the hay and grasses were collected by the bride and her mother along the country roads of Pennsylvania during the months leading up to the wedding. Feastivities Events prepared a selection of hors d’oeuvres: flatbread cracker spoons with balsamic-glazed beets; brie, crab, and asparagus pastries; cumin-seared beef tenderloin with mushroom kebabs; mustard-crusted chicken with scallion dip; butternut-squash soup shooter with grissini; curried lamb kebabs with mango chutney; and bacon-wrapped figs
