With the July 4th holiday coming up on Monday, this adorable outdoor BBQ wedding in Maryland from Red Shoes Photography seemed like the perfect wedding to feature before the holiday weekend. Lauren and Justin were married in late May at a private estate in Maryland, with a sweet pink and red color palette and tons of adorable DIY details throughout the day – from chalkboard menu signs to mason jar escort cards (love that!) to mad libs for guests to fill out in lieu of a formal guestbook. Lauren also incorporated some personal touches, using her grandmother’s vintage handkerchiefs to wrap the bridal party bouquets. Lauren and Justin also hired a competition BBQ team to cater their wedding – and from the looks of the photos below, the food was seriously scrumptious!
I’m seriously in love with the bridesmaids’ striped dresses – so cute!

Thank you for the response!
Hi Amber, I don’t think it’s available for rent. We had the wedding at a friend’s house, so they’ve only done ours and their daughter’s. I liked the feel of Comus Inn near Frederick. Had a somewhat similar feel!
Anyone know if this is a venue that’s available for rent? Or is it just, say, a friend’s house or something? It’s perfect and exactly what I have in mind and would love to find it!
