Is there anything more all American than a classic country club wedding? We think not, and we're totally here for them! Diane and Daniel worked with Maryland wedding planner and Fine Art Curation member SRS Events to create a fun-filled preppy wedding day with heaps of beautiful details, including fluffy pink peonies, a custom monogram and the cutest wedding cookies iced with an illustration of their gorgeous golden doodle.

Over to Stephanie from SRS Events: "Diane has long dreamed of having her wedding reception at Chevy Chase Club, having grown up attending functions there. She has vivid memories of sneaking away from holiday meals as a teenager to peek at the ballroom upstairs, and wandered through the rose garden imagining her newlywed photos there one day. The key was making sure Dan loved it just as much. After touring several venues together, the decision was made as Dan took to an Adirondack chair on the great lawn at the Chevy Chase Club for a rum punch while watching the sun set. The feeling of timeless beauty with a relaxed feel made it the perfect choice for their classic preppy wedding."

Bride Diane's favorite wedding detail was the wreaths on the church doors. "They were so bridal, but also so unique to our wedding," explains Diane. "The ribbon tied into the D&D monogram we had engraved in our invitation liners. It also had just a pop of light blue in there to match the bridesmaids dresses, and the silk ribbons tied onto guests’ napkins. It brought together so many elements within the wedding without being too much. And the best part is my mom helped create the wreaths for us— an absolute labor of love.

"My favorite moment was when the band seamlessly transitioned from ‘The Way You Look Tonight’ into ‘Play That Funky Music‘ during the father-daughter dance. My dad ripped his tux jacket off and started swinging it in the air. I had to duck to miss when he tossed it to the crowd! We found out later he had 3 iPhones in it! It was so goofy and fun, and set the tone for the reception."
