Meg and Reid brought touches of their Washington, D.C., home to St. Louis for an unforgettable late-summer wedding. Meg looked radiant in a floral-textured gown from Mia Grace Bridal, perfectly complemented by a day filled with classic touches. As a heartfelt nod to the D.C. Cherry Blossom Festival, the floral bouquets were accented with delicate pops of soft blush pink. After tying the knot at the Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France, the atmosphere turned magical during cocktail hour on Art Hill. Guests enjoyed a beautiful sunset while listening to live melodies from Beau Son Strings & Ensembles.

Inside the reception, The Composed Collective tied all the details of the day together – from the classic chinoiserie vases overflowing with lush ivory blooms to the use of unique brick patterns from the Washington and Lee campus (where Meg and Reid met). Guests were treated to custom tile coasters to take home as a lasting memory of the festivities. Every element of the day was captured beautifully by Catherine Rhodes Photography and felt like a perfect reflection of the couple’s refined yet joyful style.
