Chantal and McKinley, both D.C. natives, were married last year at the Mandarin Oriental and their wedding was modern yet elegant.
The couple incorporated her family’s Caribbean culture by having a steel pan player during the ceremony and cocktail hour. The favors were boxed pieces of “black cake”, a traditional home-made rum cake in Guyana, South America. Here is a whole bunch of pretty to get your week started!
As we kick off 2012, I am delighted to introduce the updated District Favorites list today! This includes my favorite vendors in town and why I adore them — they are friendly, thoughtful, creative, and their work is phenomenal. In my opinion, they are the best. Check it out!

Now, to continue this week’s start, on to today’s Real Wedding…
Kyle and John were married last spring at Longview Gallery. Their wedding is really their own and I am thrilled that Garrett Hubbard has shared the pictures of the day with us!
Debby and Branden were married a few months ago at the St. Regis and their wedding was full of personal style! A. Dominick Events teamed up with the couple on the design and plans and, lucky for us, Rob Garland Photographers was there to capture the big day!
Emily and John were married this past May at Westwood Country Club and this wedding was filled to the brim with beautiful designs! Freed Photography was there to capture the big day – enjoy!
At District Weddings, many, many interesting weddings come my way. When photographer Deb Lindsey sent me Stephanie and Michael’s wedding at the Park Hyatt Hotel, it was clear that I needed to get it up on the blog ASAP!
This Orthodox Jewish wedding was filled with fabulous traditions and customs. There was the Tish, where the woman and men gather separately to greet and praise the bride and groom; the mothers breaking a dish at the signing of the Ketubah; and an oh-so energetic 40-minute Hora – now that is one long, fun Hora!
