With this winter wonderland around us, today’s wedding brings the warmth of the spring that is just around the corner. From the oh-so-talented photographers The Happy Couple, I love the natural setting of Erin and Owen’s wedding at Woodend Sanctuary in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
The antique fabric that makes the Chuppah is so lovely.
With the snowy forecast, Engaged! in Washington and the Washington DC Couture Wedding Consortium are being postponed.
DCCWC will February 16th from 5:00pm – 7:00pm – think fun cocktails with your favorite wedding experts!
Engaged! in Washington is comparing availability for reschedule dates and we will get back to us ASAP with the new date. Stay tuned!
Enjoy the snowy weekend like these groomsmen captured by photographer Steve Canning.

How did you become interested in make-up artistry and what is your background in the field?
I became interested in makeup artistry when I lived in Bolivia, South America where I had always been interested in fashion and beauty. I also studied cosmetology and makeup training in Brazil.
My background in makeup has been varied and wide ranging. I have worked not only with many brides but in film, television, video, stage, print and even high definition TV broadcasts for celebrities, royalty, political figures and high profile Washingtonians. All of which has contributed to my knowledge base and experience as a professional makeup artist for over 19 years.
Looking for a band…DJ… or perhaps a musician? If you want talent and endless options, starting looking into Bialek’s Music! As the life of the party in the DC Metro area for almost thirty years, Bialek’s Music plays at approximately 2,000 events a year so you can expect professionalism, superior service, and amazing music at your event. If that is not convincing enough, you can hear demos and view an extensive range of song lists on www.bialeksmusic.com. I was lucky enough to have a conversation with Dan Goldman, one of Bialek’s esteemed DJs…
What do you think are the most important qualities that a client should look for when looking into entertainment (either a DJ, live band, etc) for their event?
A client should feel confident that the entertainment they are hiring will be able to carry out the Bride and Groom’s vision for their reception. Being able to provide a current reference list is also beneficial. Finally, price will most likely be a factor. It’s important to have a budget range in mind, rather than a set amount. How important the entertainment is to the success of a Wedding Reception cannot be stressed enough!
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of participating in the Washington Post’s OnLove live column chat. Participants asked fantastic questions, ranging from unique centerpiece ideas to finding a dream dress on a budget. Read the article by clicking here!
