On Our Radar


AROUND TOWN

BY CARA HULLINGS

We can’t get enough of all the
new venues: The Heron Room,
located in Mill No. 1 along the
Jones Falls, has vaulted brick
ceilings, concrete floors, and
exposed stone providing the room
with character. Highlandtown’s
Habitat incorporates industrial
chic and a minimalist style with
its open floorplan, white brick
walls, sputnik chandeliers, and
tons of natural light. Blackwall
Barn and Lodge (pictured above)
in Gambrills has ample indoor
and outdoor space that com-
bines a rustic barn wedding with
upscale elegance. In Annapolis,
versatility takes priority at Prism.
In the heart of the Arts District,
this venue reflects its vibrant
surroundings with murals that
line the hallways, kitchen, and
outdoor area. Meanwhile, the
inside features blank walls allow-
ing the freedom and flexibility
any couple would want for their
day. And finally, from the Main
Street Ballroom folk comes sister
venue Haven Street Ballroom, an
airy and stylish space located in a
growing industrial neighborhood
in the Baltimore Highlands.

CELESTIAL COLLECTION BY STEPHANIE BRADSHAW
We are slightly obsessed with this designer tabletop collection,
a collaboration between BBJ Linen and Stephanie Bradshaw,
a local design firm specializing in event production, wedding
planning, and interior design. Bradshaw was inspired by hues—
moody blues, clean neutrals, and sparkly sequins—when she
designed these tablecloths and runners, including our favor-
ites, Constellation, Astro, Meteor, and Nebula. bbjlinen.com

It’s almost impossible to describe this Monkton manor as anything but dreamy.
Booking only four weddings a year, this estate sits on 127 acres of landscaped grounds (filled with
horses, American maples, boxwoods, and poplars, manicured gardens, and a swimming pool), all
but guaranteeing privacy for guests. The couple can stay on-site for the week of the wedding (along
with some guests) for all the nuptial revelry. Sure, it comes with a hefty price tag, but couples are
guaranteed access to Foxfire every five years to renew their vows. foxfiremonkton.com

BHLDN The popular bridal shop from Anthropologie finally
comes to Maryland. And while we would have loved a Charm
City address (ahem, Harbor East), Bethesda isn’t so bad. For
this shop stocked full of gowns, bridesmaid dresses, mother-
of-the-bride attire, and shoes and accessories, appoint-
ments are a must and super-easy to book online. bhldn.com

The Bride Baton
When she first started The Baltimore
Baton on Instagram, Megan Campbell
DiMillo saw it as a way to shed light
on life in Charm City. So, when she
began to plan her wedding, she
realized she could do the same for the
local wedding industry. Bride Baton
offers a behind-the-scenes view
of everything Baltimore wedding.
Takeovers from bridal shops, florists,
photographers, venues, and jewelry
designers are both informational
and aspirational and often act as a
matchmaker between a couple and
their wedding team. @thebridebaton


FUREVER AND FUR ALWAYS
Tiffany Arana and Tehya Mockapetris have found a
way for couples to incorporate their most loyal friend
into their wedding day. They provide transportation
to and from any (pet-friendly) ceremony/reception
site, assistance getting the pup down the aisle or
posing for photographs, plus the usual walks, belly
rubs, and treats. fureverandfuralways.com
