Hollywood Glam with a Maryland Touch

September 4, 2012 By alexcbwe Leave a Comment

Congressional CC, June 9th set the stage for a beautiful vow-renewal ceremony and reception to celebrate the love and commitment of Caroline & Chris. The bride looked absolutely stunning in her fitted Ulla-Maija Couture gown. With the ceremony overlooking the 18th hole of the prestigious golf course, guests had quite a spectacular view. The picturesque backdrop made for great photo-ops all throughout the evening. The Winn Brothers Band packed the dance floor all night and guests enjoyed delicious food & drinks amidst the fabulous decor. Guests capped off the evening by being served milk shooters and cookies as they said their “good-bye’s.” It was a fabulous party to honor a wonderful couple!

Thank you so much to Sweet Tea Photography for capturing this special night!

Nothing Says “I Do” like a Military Sword Arch

May 29, 2012 By alexcbwe Leave a Comment

At Cherry Blossom Events, we celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a military wedding on historic Fort McNair in Washington, DC. Though the skies threatened stormy weather all day, the clouds parted just in time to see our gorgeous bride and groom, Sarah and Stephen, say their vows on the point at Fort McNair. Sarah emerged from a trolley on the arm of her brother to meet Stephen under the trees. After saying “I do”, the two exited the ceremony under a tradition military sword arch, sealing the ceremony with a romantic kiss at the end.

Guests retired back to the Officers’ Club and toasted the glowing newlyweds with sangria – a nod to the Mexican holiday. Everyone danced the night away and left with a bottle of Jarhead Red wine, reflecting Stephen’s service in the Marines Corps. Congratulations to another truly wonderful couple, and special thanks to the always fabulous Procopio Photography for the stunning images.

Thanks to our coordinator, Courtney Derr, for coordinating this special Cinco de Mayo! Also, special thanks to Procopio Photography for the wonderful photos!

A Classic Affair at the St. Regis

May 16, 2012 By alexcbwe 1 Comment

Pops of navy, red and champagne accented their classic downtown DC wedding this March at the St. Regis Hotel. Making their celebration a family affair, Desiree & Donnie were married by her Uncle and had their immediate family members toast them with a unique and special “Wine Ceremony.” Throughout the planning process and wedding day, it was evident how much Desiree & Donnie truly love each other and enjoy making each other happy. Before the ceremony, the Groom surprised his Bride with a gorgeous diamond bracelet and sincere note.

Desiree wore sparkling blue wedding shoes and changed from her traditional veil into a birdcage veil with a pop of red for the reception. Their specially made cake topper was a “bobble head” depicting Desiree & Donnie on their wedding day. Guests enjoyed artfully displayed miniature desserts, late night snacks and specialty beverages from the Cordial Bar. The blue up-lit lounge area under the enclosed tent provided a relaxing respite from the dance floor. Cheers to the happy couple, Desiree & Donnie. A special “thank you” to their Photographer, Josh Gooden.
