Alice was in love with a black and white 50’s elegant dinner party feel for her wedding but we also needed to incorporate chartreuse green – a favorite color of Alice’s which made it feel a touch funky and modern. Starting with her extra large stunning invitations to the funky black and white chargers, we created a beautiful and unique evening for their 190 guests. A huge thanks to Andrew from Connor Studios for capturing the day in such a beautiful way. Congrats Alice & Spencer!

Pink, purple andfuchsia wedding decor details filled the ceremony and reception spaces, contrasting brightly with the location’s lush greenery. The couple and their 150 guestscooled off during the reception and danced late into the night. From beginning to end this wedding day was filled to the brim with love and joy! Thanks to Elaine Studley from Hay McKenna Photography for these great photos!

Chloe and Aaron decided to have their wedding and reception at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, a stunning building right downtown. Chloe decided the colors should be purple with accents of green and cream. The bridal party got ready in separate rooms at the Grand Hyatt and after the bride and groom reveal, they took advantage of the gorgeous day and took photos at Senate Park by the Capital. Back at NMWA, the bride walked down the aisle to Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘Song for the Asking’, Aaron broke the glass and we all shouted ‘Mazal Tov!”

As guests had cocktails upstairs, we transformed the main level to dinner and dancing where the guests dined on beef tenderloin and halibut and danced the night away. Congrats to Chloe & Aaron and thank you to Cassidy Duhon for these fabulous photos!

Not even the rain-soaked lawn could dampen the spirits of these gorgeous families coming together to celebrate the love of Jessica and Michael.  While the 200 guests prevented the lovely couple from having the tented wedding that Jessica dreamed of, the bride’s vision came to life with hot pink paper lanterns adorning the ceremony and white lanterns strung above the dance floor with hot pink uplit walls in the ballroom.  Black rocks and modern displays of candles and flowers from Mulitflor decorated the tables, and Jessica went all out thinking of tons of details that her guests would enjoy, from the flip flops to the take out boxes for the delicious Georgetown cupcakes and even the bark less, wag more stickers showing their love of dogs.  Some of the favorite moments from the night include Jessica seeing the ballroom with the lanterns and uplights for the first time, a total surprise from her mom and new hubby; when their little dog POTUS (president of the united states) walked down the aisle to “Hail to the Chief;” and when the maid of honor firmly declared she was on Team Jessica even though she is actually Michael’s cousin.  Chantal had a wonderful time working with Jessica and her mom Chris on this wedding and wish them all the best!  A big thanks to Kelsey with K. Thompson Photography for these stunning photos and to William for a fabulous job, as always, at the Omni.
