Southern Style in the District

alexcbwe — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 20:24:43 +0000

Liz and Matt were married at DAR in DC on a beautiful day in May. Her colors of soft pink, peach and cream created a beautiful southern spring feel outside during the ceremony and cocktail hour. As the guests moved indoors, these same colors transformed to an elegant and stunning look with the gold linens underneath uninterrupted rows of peonies, cabbage roses and hydrangeas and various heights of candles. Back outside, the guests watched the bride and groom cut the cake then danced the night away with a mix of classic and modern hits. The Old Town Trolley took the bride and groom with their guests away for a stroll through DC as a perfect end to a perfect night. Congrats to Liz and Matt – you were amazing to work with! And many thanks to Deb Lindsey for the fab photos!

Robert & Mark – A Gentleman’s Urban Evening

Robert and Mark were married on August 21 in the outdoor space of the Longview Art Gallery in DC. They got ready in their matching summer suits at home, which is just a few blocks away. The ceremony was, as most would expect, somewhat untraditional as the grooms walked down the aisle together with their dog Cooper. Being that this was two gentlemen getting married, we really wanted the look and feel to be different. Elegant, modern and visually stimulating. For the reception, we decided to use square and rectangle tables and masculine colors…..chocolate brown and elegant silvery blue. The tables were decorated with white square plates, matching menu card and a single fiddlehead fern at each place setting. White flowers, lots of candles and blue up-lights softened the room while making it look modern. Even though the room looked fabulous, the key element to the day was the obvious unwavering love and support that everyone has for Robert and Mark. The room was filled with love, love, love and non-stop celebrating. I am proud and feel very lucky to have been part of their day and wish them again, congratulations!!

A big thanks to Moshe Zusman for these amazing photos!

Carolina & James – News Worthy Wedding at the Newseum

Carolina and James tied the knot on July 10^th at the Newseum. Luck was with the couple as the dark skies opened up and the heat wave came to a pause for this beautiful occasion. We could not have had a more perfect backdrop for the ceremony. The couple was married on the balcony of the Newseum with the picturesque Capitol Building behind them. After the ceremony, guests headed down to cocktail hour where they picked up their escort cards surrounding an ice sculpture of the Capitol Building! As guests entered the reception room, they were able to grab some candy from the all night candy bar with a 5ft replica of the Washington monument! After a delicious buffet dinner, guests danced the night away to the sounds of Raggs and the All Stars. Thanks to Freed Photography for the photos.

Roshan & Ale – How Sweet It Is

alexcbwe — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:16:57 +0000

Roshan and Ale have been one of the best couples I have worked with yet. Not only are they the nicest people, but they are so in love and have a general love of life. Both are always smiling and it is a joy to be around them. I was thrilled to hear her colors were fuchsia and bright orange which fits perfectly with their theme of ‘Love is Sweet’. Ale wanted a venue that was nothing less then amazing. We ended up at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium for their reception and the festive tones added to the celebration. To back up a bit, they were married at St. Stephen Martyr on Pennsylvania Ave which is a hidden gem of a church. All the ladies’ bouquets had some sweets incorporated in and the bright colors looked fabulous. For the main event, the bride walked down the aisle with her father as the Steele Drums played ‘Ave Maria’. Back at the reception, the guests dined on a mix of traditional Columbian and Trinidadian appetizers with an American dinner. Once dancing started, it didn’t stop. Guests took short breaks to sit in the lounge or grab another drink at the hot pink glowing bar.

Congratulations Roshan and Ale!!!

Thank you so much to Procopio Photography for these AMAZING photos !
