Summer camp reimagined at this coastal Maryland wedding weekend

katiegeorge-878

For Katie and George, their wedding vibe was very much inspired by the venue - Sherwood Forest Clubhouse - a nod to the movie "Dirty Dancing" that even inspired the couple's first dance! Katie, the bride, had spent her summers at Sherwood as a counselor, so it was natural for the couple to host their big day at a place that felt so much like home. For their coastal Maryland wedding captured by Erica Lynn Photography and planned with the help of 2Hands Studios, the couple incorporated lots of blues and greens, which wasn't hard to do thanks to stunning hydrangea gardens and gorgeous natural landscape elements throughout.

Ceremony style: serene coastal blues

Coastal, serene blues filled the ceremony and reception space thanks to Pretty Little Wedding Co. Blue hydrangeas and delphinium were a must, along with roses, ranunculus, and lisanthus for softer white tones.
