Strathmore Music Hall Red Line Wedding

Categories: Color Palettes, Traditional Timeless May 17, 2010 / Danielle Freedman

Jen and Sanjeev’s wedding is exactly the kind of wedding that I love to see – personalized plans with traditional beauty! This stunning couple took the theme of the Red Line to inspire their wedding colors and venue – a red palette with the ceremony and reception spots on the Red Metro Line. Fun, right?!

The wedding day began with the bridal party getting ready at the Latham Hotel in Georgetown before heading to the reveal at the Old Stone House right on M Street.

The October 30th wedding ceremony took place at St. Ann’s Cathedral in Tenleytown and then Strathmore Music Hall for the reception. Stacey Vaeth Photography captures it all – fabulous!

Dear Devon: A Beautiful Omni Shoreham Ballroom

Categories: Color Palettes June 22, 2009 / Devon Pearce

Today, we’re featuring a handful of reader emails. One of my absolute favorite things about writing this blog is opening my inbox every day. As I’ve often said, I LOVE receiving emails from readers. I enjoy answering questions, giving my two cents (for whatever it’s worth!), and hearing about your fabulously creative ideas for your upcoming weddings. And, just as I love getting emails from readers, I’m always thrilled to receive emails from local wedding professionals.

William Grace, Senior Catering Sales Manager at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, is one such professional who always brightens my day. A few days ago, he sent over a few pictures from a recent wedding he executed. Here’s what he had to say…

From William…

“I recently did this wedding with a bride and groom [who were] afraid of color, since the murals on the walls of the Palladian Ballroom were so bold. So I designed this event from all angles to make sure that it “breathed” air into the room. Enjoy!”

Thanks for sharing, William! If you’ve never visited the Omni Shoreham Hotel, I would urge you to check it out. Especially if you are able to work with William Grace — as you can see from these pictures, he really knows what he’s doing! William only does weddings at the Omni Shoreham, so you can be sure he will be incredibly attentive throughout your planning process and on your big day. Here’s another Omni Shoreham wedding we featured a few months ago.

More to come later today… including a very special announcement!

Sasha’s Style: Pretty in Purple

Categories: Beauty & Fashion, Color Palettes, Little Ones, Planning & Ideas January 20, 2009 / Devon Pearce

One look at the Obama girls and you can see that style runs in the family. The littlest Obama, Sasha, looks oh-so-pretty in this picture-perfect ensemble. Her white flower and brilliantly purple dress are simply adorable. And, if you are thinking of having little ones in your wedding, this would be just perfect for a 7 year-old flower girl!

I am so excited to watch these sweet girls blossom into fashionable little young ladies over the next four years!

President & Mrs. Obama: Playfully Elegant

Categories: Color Palettes, Planning & Ideas January 20, 2009 / Devon Pearce

I thought it would be fun to create an idea board around this very loving, incredibly romantic picture of President & Mrs. Obama. I see it as the a fun cocktail party hosted by the Obamas — filled with color and playfully elegant.
