Elkins Estate, Philadelphia PA

Rachel, a Philadelphia native and face behind JustBecauseItsPretty, and Alex chose Elkins Estate for their destination wedding weekend. Currently living in NYC, they wanted to share their celebration with friends and family where everyone could be together! They kicked off the weekend with a welcome dinner where Rachel repurposed her mom’s original wedding dress in to a gorgeous vintage column gown. She paired it with a hand-embroidered clutch with their wedding date and the venue expertly stitched. Heirloom jewelry and pink Manolos finished off her gorgeous look.
