Laura & Ian – Love at Home

November 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment

With it’s picturesque lawn and breathtaking panoramic views, this private residence was the perfect venue for Laura & Ian’s waterfront wedding. After a beautiful backyard ceremony, guests moved into a lantern-lit reception where they partied the night away (even with a brief power outage thanks to the after affects of derecho!) Laura’s style was simple yet incredibly chic. She wanted to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. There were so many fun touches that to this casual but detailed waterfront wedding and Carly Fuller did an amazing job capturing them all!

We are closing in on engagement season so check back for ideas from us! More wedding to come!

A Wedding at Home: Family Vineyard

September 25, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Rolling hills, grape vines and a sparkling lake set the stage for Lauren & Rick’s June 16th wedding at Lauren’s gorgeous family home in Leesburg, VA. Stone Tower Winery, set to make its public debut Spring of 2014, encompasses everything a bride could dream of. For the ceremony, white linen and floral accents draped bales of hay set on a hill looking down at the ceremony processional. Stunning large wine cellar doors outlined the bride & groom’s frame as they said their “I Do’s.” During cocktail hour in the barn, guests sipped on drinks in mason jars with navy & white stripped straws. Check out tomorrow’s post to see the amazing reception! As always, thanks to Allison & Chris Britton for the fab photos!

Traditional and Colorful at the Hotel Monaco DC

September 6, 2012 By Leave a Comment

AnneRose and Rich’s July 28th wedding was a beautiful and vibrant combination of traditions, family and course fun.The ceremony took place at Our Lady of Mercy on Saturday afternoon. AnneRose incorporated a number of traditions to honor her Indian heritage. My personal favorite was watching every female relative bless her just before she was about to walk down the aisle. It was truly beautiful to see. Guests were then shuttled back to the Hotel Monaco DC for the party. The Paris ballroom looked gorgeous with the all the stunning details- lush centerpieces in shades of deep purples and fuchsia, soft amber lighting, bold linens and a stunning cake. I loved helping AnneRose plan a wedding full of surprise including 3 dress changes and an anniversary cake for her parents. It was their 22nd wedding anniversary on the very same day. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had a blast!
