Madeline + Brent | Lush Garden Engagement

An ode to Longwood Gardens. Really, I could make a whole post about this place. My go-to when the weather turns, my lush and gorgeous inside garden. It never fails to provide beautiful shots.

And Madeline and Brent were just too cute in their classy fits as we roamed the garden.

They’re getting married next summer at the Mt. Washington Mill Dye House, and these two are prepping for a massive party. The bride and groom both have huge families so they’re going for intimate but planning for a whole shindig!

With Fall being their favorite season, the couple is opting for earth tones, greenery, and neutrals, with the bride planning to have her bridal party in mid-length black or neutral colors. They’re aiming for a totally natural and clean modern look, including florals that are earthy, with plenty of greenery.

The couple is super excited to have all of their people in one place, especially since their loved ones are pretty spread out across the country and most of them will be coming to see Maryland for the first time! That’s the recipe for a party.

When they’re not busy with wedding prep, Madeline shared that they like to explore any new city or locale with their stomachs! “We absolutely love food and beer/wine, and we love traveling together. We both feel like the best way to learn about a new place is to experience their food and culture.” Sounds like a good philosophy to me!

Madeline and Brent are avid lovers of new experiences in general and they love to travel, just the two of them, bonding over shared adventures. I bet they’ll have plenty of time to make new adventures as Mr. and Mrs. next year.

Looking forward to it!
