"At their September wedding at the National Arboretum, they chose a seasonal, late-summer color palette of orange and yellow to let the beauty of the venue and the season shine. Their floral arrangements, they say, were primarily group-effort DIY from Trader Joe's-including the sunflower-filled floral arch that Patrick and the couple's friends put together and ikebana-inspired centerpieces."
"That shared love of nature, they say, is what brought them together and has been a theme throughout their relationship. Other highlights of the day included the officiating by Allison's aunt; the inclusion of their pup throughout the events; 'Hey Honey' signature cocktails made with honey produced on site; and a lemon wedding cake baked by the mother of the bride."
