Paola & Tucker – A Wedding in Dupont

Paola and Tucker were married and had their reception at the Washington Club in Dupont Circle. Paola was escorted down the aisle by a close family friend and she looked stunning in a very traditional gown and cathedral length veil. Immediately following the romantic ceremony, they were whisked away to the gardens at the National Cathedral for photos. Upon their return, they mingled through cocktail hour with their close family and friends. The dining room was decorated with traditional cream damask linens and a soft pink and amber uplight to warm the room. The flowers were bright with greens and magenta colors. A highlight of the reception was Tucker’s two boys played the piano and one sang one of the fathers favorite Billy Joel’s song, dedicated to the couple. Congratulations to Paola and Tucker!

An Elegant Evening at DAR

Jan & Rock were married on a beautiful day in August at Western Presbyterian Church in Washington DC. The guests were transported to the beautiful Daughters of the American Revolution for the reception. The cocktail hour was healed in the foyer while the guests listened to live music. The ballroom looked stunning with chocolate colored lines and tall orchid sprays on the tables which complimented the already elegant room. After dinner, guests danced and mingled on the portico and took photos with the Washington Monument as the back drop. Thanks to Tom and Ashlee of Documentary Associates for these beautiful photos and congrats to Jan & Rock! 

A Glamorous Night Club Wedding

Jessica and Nelson had a very precise vision for their wedding – Night Club Glam and they not only achieved their vision, they rocked it! Jessica, who never stops smiling, wanted over-the-top glam with dramatic eyes, lots of diamonds and a birdcage veil with a feather. Nelson kept it cool with wearing chuck tailors and a classic tux. The bride and bridesmaids walked from Hotel Monaco to the ceremony, which took place at St. Mary’s in Old Town Alexandria with the reception following at the Carlyle Club. The night club was perfect for their style. We used pink uplights to highlight the outside columns and to illuminate the inside. The DJ kept the guests dancing an hour after we were supposed to stop and guests took breaks to fill out cards for the Wishing Tree and to nosh on cake and candy. Their colors of hot pink, black and white were consistent throughout. This wedding ended with a sparkler send off as the bride and groom waved good night to their guests.

A Classic DC Wedding

Melinda and Rich were married on a fabulous day in August in downtown DC. The bride and her maids prepped for the day with hair and make-up in a fabulous suite at the W Hotel. As guests were seated for the ceremony at St. Aloysius on Capitol Hill, the bride pulled up with her father in a vintage Rolls Royce. After the full mass, the guests took shuttles to the Ronald Reagan Pavilion room for cocktails, dinner and dancing. Melinda wanted to incorporate yellow with a slight pewter for her reception. The centerpieces were tall curly willow with white orchids and hanging tea lights and the other gave a punch of color with all textures of yellow. Thanks to Genevieve Leiper for these fabulous photos!
