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!

Rea and Franklin’s Wedding: A Party of a Lifetime

June 28, 2012 By alexcbwe 1 Comment

Rea’s vision for her April 2012 wedding at Sequoia in DC was to be a complete “Party in a Box.” And what a party it was! The fabulous band, Sound Nation kept guests on the dance floor all night long. The dancing did not end until their special “sparkler send off,” overlooking the Georgetown Waterfront. From beginning to end, Rea & Franklin’s wedding decor included meaningful touches from their family & friends. Their Quilt Table Guest Book & peanut brittle favors were a nod to Rea’s Grandmother. Custom bridesmaid’s hangers & bags and a special “Mother-of-the-Bride bouquet tribute” noted those close to the couple. Rea & Franklin are wonderful match, complimenting each other in the best ways.

A great thank you to our coordinator, Alex Strawn, for organizing this amazing party. Also, thank you, Allison & Chris Britton Photography for capturing these wonderful memories.

Have a Happy Weekend,

A Celebration Full of Tradition and Culture

June 19, 2012 By alexcbwe 3 Comments

An Indian wedding celebration is filled with tradition and robust colors. Jaya & Viyas’s multi-day affair at the Mandarin Oriental this April was no exception. On Friday, the first of the two wedding ceremonies honored the Groom’s South Indian heritage. It was hard to believe that this extravagant ceremony was just the beginning to an amazing weekend.

Saturday was the main event. In classic manner, Viyas arrived on horseback and was greeted by the Jaya’s family at the hotel entrance signifying joining of their two families. The Dhol player led the groom’s procession into the garden. The weather was perfect and the gold covered mundap shimmered in the sunlight. The traditional ceremony was filled with love and laughter as the families blessed this amazing couple.

A special thanks to our coordinator Elizabeth Leibundguth for executing this special day. Also, a special thanks to Eli Turner Studios for the photos!

Happy Tuesday,
