Hitched! Meg & Brian
Meg Schiffman & Brian Butts
October 1, 2011
Gadino Cellars, Washington, VA
A sweet (as in nice and as in cool) couple, a big pop of color, sunglasses, and the most darling flower girls you’ve ever seen? Feast your eyes on this stunning affair from Sarah Cramer!

Him: Owner, Streamline Construction | Renovation | Design Her: Marketing Director for Muscle Milk
Our love story: We met through a mutual bike racing friend who had a hunch we might enjoy each other’s company. One evening, one drink – the rest was history. We haven’t spent a day apart since! Sometimes we even still ride bikes together.
“Wow” moment: When the rain started falling half-way through the ceremony and we hardly noticed. We were having way too much fun!
Design inspiration: Everything was very Rappahannock, VA – that is to say, chic country rustic! The gorgeous Gadino Cellars vineyard and the surrounding countryside provided every little bit of color and innate beauty one could ask for as a backdrop.
Favorite fashion detail: My Frye boots during the ceremony (life saver!) & the fly fishing boutonnieres!
DIY: The pergola (a Streamline Construction original!), the windowpane seating charts (lots of mother-daughter bonding time over those), Flip camera guest book.
What’s next? Wedded bliss! We had a fabulous, relaxing honeymoon in Vieques, PR (where we ran into the entire cast of the next Bachelor) and we’re now figuring out where we can hang our extra windowpanes in the house. Farmers markets, bike rides and many trips back to Sperryville and the mountains.
