{Heather and Chris} Darlington House Wedding

Heather and Chris’s wedding was so vintage and lovely, I think these were some of my favorite details all year. It was superbly coordinated and designed and I have rarely seen anything better at The Darlington House- also a location favorite of mine. I loved the flowers, the rings, the veil, definitely the wine gifts, the list goes on…. here are some faves:)
