101 Constitution Wedding

Today’s 101 Constitution wedding is sweet and sunny, photographed by Amie Otto.  Samantha and Zack met while working as tour guides at the US Capitol, so it was only fitting that their wedding overlooked the landmark and the DC monuments, with panoramic views of the District.

Oh, and how cute is the Brewlywed Sam Adams Special Edition – that a groomsman went all the way to Boston on the specific day of the release so the couple would have some for their wedding –”Sam” Adams is the bride’s new married name! So awesome!

Four Seasons Romantic Wedding

After Eric proposed to Jessica in Paris, this wedding was certain to be incredibly romantic! The combined talents of HJ PlannersChicka Chicka Boom Boom and EDGE Flowers created a picture perfect day at the Four Seasons, Washington, DC!

The couple merged their Jewish and Catholic faiths as they were married under a Chuppah, had a unity candle, had a wine box with a bottle of wine, and ended the ceremony with a prayer that was recited in Hebrew by the bride’s father and in English by the officiant.

At the reception, the guests were greeted by a fun “guest book”, four 80′s records, which were a nod to the bride and groom’s love of 80′s music. Guests signed them with silver Sharpies and the couple now has them hanging in their home. In the Four Seasons ballroom, a fourth of the room was transformed into a lounge, with drape, furniture and pillows in the wedding colors. And, I really love the ivory fabric tufted wood bar with the over sized collage created of the couple’s monogram and engagement photos – wow! This wedding is full of details – what are your favorites?

Jewish Floral Wedding

Is everyone feeling as happy as I am today with this lovely weather? Ooo, it is spring! I ran the Cherry Blossom race yesterday, my favorite in D.C., and it just got me in me in the mood to see flowers and spring beauty – so, lucky for me, this wedding by Documentary Associates does the trick! Anna and Jon were married last June at 6th and I Synagogue with a pretty, pretty reception at The Fairmont, Washington DC.

And – While I have your attention, this is a friendly reminder to please join us on Sunday – yes, this Sunday – for our bridal workshop – we cannot wait!
