One Couple's Scrabble-Themed Wedding at Material Culture in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Danielle and Melissa have a way with words—literally. The couple fills their time together with competitive rounds of Scrabble (over which Danielle reigns supreme), and similarly, filled their wedding with nods to their favorite game, from the signage to the tables, alongside Material Culture’s tchotchkes. As a gift, Danielle’s family made Melissa a custom crossword puzzle in her honor. Regal carousel horses, antique patterned rugs and eye-catching lighting took center stage at the reception. “Material Culture has an eclectic, global aesthetic all its own, so we just added Scrabble elements to represent ourselves,” Melissa says. Case in point: the escort cards, each marked with their very own tile.  Scrabble tiles topped tables, and the accompanying decorative succulents served as favors for guests.
