How It All Began

Elise and Charlie’s love story began in high school during a trip to the Galápagos Islands the summer before junior year. After graduation, they navigated seven years of long-distance while Elise completed pharmacy school, finally moving in together in May 2023, certain they were each other’s person. Their wedding weekend kicked off with a rehearsal dinner at Orchard Green and a welcome gathering at Backpocket Brewery, setting the tone for a joyful weekend celebration with their favorite people.

Their floral design featured soft pinks, oranges, and blues, which complemented the space and overall aesthetic. Even the cake incorporated flowers, tying the details together effortlessly. Throughout the day, every element felt cohesive, creating a truly wonderful celebration.
