When I saw this one on Pop Wed Co‘s Facebook page, I just knew I had to have it. I mean, let’s be honest, I feel like I could feature EVERY wedding that Maggie & Steven deliver, but this one ESPECIALLY caught my eye thanks to the coolest DC wedding venue ever: DC Brau’s Brewery!!!
From the lovely brides, on their offbeat DC wedding venue choice:
We got engaged a year ago at a winery in Virginia, so a brewery in DC felt like at natural choice for a wedding. It really wasn’t that simple though… We were planning a small wedding with a few friends and our parents, but after hitting a few bumps in the road we decided to scrap that idea and elope just the two of us. We wanted a wedding that we would remember and be able to enjoy, knowing we could always plan a party for a later date with everyone else.
We stumbled upon Pop! Wed Co and decided that they do the types of weddings we both envisioned. Maggie and Steven were great from the start and made all the stress of wedding planning disappear (on our end at least). We discussed a few possible venues with Maggie before realizing that DC Brau was the perfect spot.
The folks at DC Brau were so awesome and so welcoming and who knew a brewery would be such and awesome spot for a wedding photo shoot?
Although our friends and family weren’t physically there, they were there at heart. After the ceremony we had an awesome photo shoot at DC Brau with our Pop! Wed Co friends, Maggie and Steven, and then met with a few close friends for drinks and dinner. We will have our grand party in California in March at the arboretum on the university campus where we met nine years ago. We will have a short vow ceremony with our family and friends followed by the big party with dinner and dancing under the stars.

We intentionally bought dresses we could wear again. Our friends doubted that my polka dots and Hillary’s blue lacy dress would go together, but they did and we have awesome pictures to prove it!
We priced bouquets and were blown away by how much they cost, so we decided to do it ourselves. We bought our flowers at Harris Teeter the morning of the wedding and decided to keep the stems long, but the flowers loose. We found the simple, but beautiful, white Gerber Daisies tied our dresses together nicely. They also happen to be Hillary’s favorite flower!
A special thanks again to the ALWAYS awesome Maggie Winters & Steven of Pop Wed Co! For sharing their images from this rad DC wedding.
