Sofia & Afzalul – Westin Grand Hotel

Elizabeth had a wonderful time helping plan Sofia and Afzalul’s wedding in which every detail of  the traditional Hindu/western wedding was colorful and joyous!  The wedding began with the baraat, in which Afzalul’s family escorted him to the ceremony. Afzalul greatly enjoyed dancing with his friends and family as they moved through the DC streets on their way to the Westin Grand Hotel. Once the groom arrived, Sofia was escorted down the aisle by her parents while the music of a sitar and tabla played in the background. After the ceremony, the couple changed into their reception attire and headed to the ballroom, which was completely transformed using amber lights and tons of red orchids. After a delicious buffet from Rangoli Restaurant and a beautiful cake designed by Fancy Cakes by Leslie the party got started! The dance floor was packed and the party went strong till the ever end.  Congratulations to a very sweet and happy couple, Sofia and Afzalul! Thanks to Eli from Freed Photography who was kind enough to share the gorgeous images.

Amy & Rene – Willard Hotel

Amy and Rene’s love was witnessed by 45 of their closest friends and family as they celebrated in the intimate Nest at the historic Willard hotel.  Chantal was thrilled to be a part of their special day as they exchanged vows in front of their good friend (and amazing dancer) Evan before enjoying a delectable meal complete with German sauerbraten and spaetzel, a tribute to Rene’s German heritage.  They then danced and waltzed the night away. Greenworks did an amazing job with the flowers and a HUGE thanks to Eli Turner from Freed Photography for these amazing shots!

Kristin & Brent – Pretty in Pink

Chantal had the pleasure of working with Kristin and Brent on their April 17th wedding where cherry blossoms were also featured across town at the Walker Chapel United Methodist Church and the Washington Golf Country Club.  The bride glowed from head to toe and the groom was overwhelmed with joy as they said their “I Do’s” and then headed over to the country club for some delicious food, stunning views of the city and a packed dance floor.  The groom’s idea of tall cherry blossom branches filled the room nicely and their color coordinated candy bar was also a big hit!  Thanks to Maria Vicencio for these lovely pics and a big congratulations to Kristin and Brent who are so sweet and adorable!
