On a beautiful February day, Meghan and Bill tied the knot at the Phoenixville Foundry, a dramatic and historic venue that set the perfect tone for their winter celebration. It was an honor to create their wedding invitations, which served as a beautiful first glimpse into the rich, romantic aesthetic of their day.

Meghan and Bill first met on the campus of Immaculata University where Bill worked, and Meghan studied. A casual chat near the campus post office sparked a connection, and it wasn’t long before their first date took them to the New Jersey Aquarium. Bonding over their shared love of animals, they talked for hours and ended the day planning their next date.

Bill says he knew from the start that Meghan was "the one," even telling a friend early on, “If I date this girl, I’m going to marry her.” Meghan realized it during their time navigating a long-distance relationship, when she says, "I knew that I never wanted to be without him."

On December 16, 2024, after a cozy brunch at Founding Farmers, Bill and Meghan returned to the Immaculata campus to admire the Christmas tree in the rotunda. While strolling down the steps of back campus, Bill dropped to one knee and asked Meghan to marry him. Stunned into silence, Bill had to ask Meghan, “So, what’s it going to be?” With excellent forethought, Bill planned for a photographer to capture the moment and threw a surprise engagement party afterward, filled with their closest friends and family.

Their February wedding embraced a moody, modern industrial aesthetic with rich tones of burgundy and deep wine, balanced with soft blush, white florals, and greenery. The Phoenixville Foundry was the ideal setting—dramatic steel beams, warm brick, and a touch of history wrapped into a one-of-a-kind space.

Meghan prioritized the guest experience, choosing exceptional food, lively music, and a memorable atmosphere. Following an emotional private vowel exchange, Meghan and Bill wowed their guests with a semi-choreographed, semi-on the spot first dance to “My Girl” by The Temptations. In a nod to their love of Philadelphia sports, they served up a taste of Philly’s best late-night snacks, cheesesteaks, soft pretzels, and tastykakes.

I was so excited when Meghan shared with me her vision for a moody and romantic wedding aesthetic – a style that is one of my favorites. We started with a rich burgundy background on linen-textured paper. Using dramatic typography, we embraced the romantic feelings and added elegance with a beautiful script font. I couldn’t help but add a dramatic flare with a printed vellum cover with florals to hide the invitation and create a moment of anticipation for guests as they opened their envelopes. Each wedding suite was wrapped together with a burgundy belly-band and placed into vellum-colored envelopes that contrasted perfectly with the deep, rich colors of the floral elements.

The invitations set the tone for the celebration to come—modern, heartfelt, and rich with detail. Guests described them as “the most beautiful invitations they had ever seen,” which is always such a joy to hear!

When asked what advice they’d share with other couples, Meghan said,

“Don’t stress about it. Everything will come together perfectly. And when it doesn’t feel that way, remind yourself how lucky you are to be planning a wedding with the love of your life.”

After months of planning, seeing their vision come to life at the Foundry was pure magic. Every detail reflected their love story—and I’m so grateful to have played a small part in it. Cheers to many happy years together!
