A spring wedding at Water Works by Cescaphe, Madison and Chase’s day was classic, personal, and deeply considered — with every detail carrying a piece of their story.

Madison approached the design with so much sentimentality, especially through the paper elements. Their custom invitation suite featured an illustrated monogram and pattern that traced meaningful parts of their relationship, while the reception carried that same thoughtfulness into personalized place settings, custom menus, trivia questions, and table numbers tied to important memories.

The day unfolded with clean black-tie style, soft white florals by NE Flower Boutique, and the iconic architecture of Water Works as the backdrop. Madison’s look felt timeless and architectural in a Monique Lhuillier gown, made even more meaningful by the heirloom pieces woven into the weekend — including a rehearsal dinner dress and wedding morning robe created from her mother’s wedding dress.

A beautifully layered Water Works wedding filled with family history, custom illustration, thoughtful design, and an unmistakable sense of place along the Philadelphia waterfront.
