Laura & Ian – Love at Home

November 13, 2012 By alexcbwe 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!

Stone Manor Country Club at it’s Best!

November 7, 2012 By alexcbwe Leave a Comment

Beautiful Stone Manor Country Club provided the spectacular setting for the chic, rustic wedding of Emily and Scott. Our beautiful bride and groom said their “I Dos” underneath the canopy of an old oak tree festooned with lanterns, ribbons, and flowers as a summer storm rumbled in the distance. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the terrace of the 18^th century manor before entering the show-stopping tent for dinner and dancing. The tent was dripping with flowers in varying shades of orange, pink, and cream as heartfelt toasts and tears of joy wereshed for the happy couple. We especially adored the long head tables, overflowing with flowers, candelabras, and gourds hand-painted by the mother of the groom, and the huge, backlit bar with Lucite stools for a modern touch. We had a blast working with yet another stylish, happy couple and wish them all the best as they begin their new life together! A huge thank you to Ethan Yang for caputuring this stunning wedding!

Check back to see more of our events soon!

City Glam at the W Hotel

October 16, 2012 By alexcbwe Leave a Comment

Dramatic lighting transformed the Altitude Room at the W Hotel for Maureen & Mario’s fabulous September 1st wedding! The bride looked stunning in her A-line gown and her sparkling Jimmy Choo pumps were the perfect accent to her look. The color “berry” was tastefully tied into their wedding decor with the bridesmaid’s dresses, paper products and room uplighting. Their families beamed the entire night with happiness for the newlyweds. Guests left with a cake pop favor in hand representing each of Maureen & Mario’s favorite, yet rival NFL teams.

Maureen & Mario are such a sweet couple and were a pleasure to work with and get to know! Thank you so much to Cicely & Jason from Procopio Photograhy for these amazing photos! And thanks to Alex Strawn from the Cherry Blossom team for making this wedding a huge successs!

Washingtonian’s Unveiled Bridal Show

January 30, 2012 By alexcbwe Leave a Comment

We participated in the Washingtonian’s Unveiled bridal show on Sunday, January 22. It was so much fun working with our team to come up with a design concept for our booth. Basically what it came down to was we bold LOVE color and contrast! We started with having a custom linen made, a trendy crisp white with a large gray circle pattern. We then decided on different heights and textures of fuchsia flowers. We used orchids, peonies, ranunculus and roses. We then added high glass tables to showcase our published work so brides can easily see it. We frames these weddings in a vintage-style white frame. We added a seating area with white lounge furniture accented with gray pillow and framed the whole look with gray and white swaged pipe and drape. We had a great day and chatted with lots of newly engaged brides…all who seemed to appreciate our free (yet Cherry Blossom Events branded!) jewelry cleaner! Thank you to Tony from Imijination Photography and Michelle Lindsay for these images!
