Nikki and Tom were married at the fabulous W Hotel on Valentine’s Day. The romantic white, black and red palette made for such glamorous decor and the W Hotel’s modern take on the classic building makes it fun, funky and absolutely one of the best venues in D.C.!
Nikki and Tom were absolutely thrilled with their W experience – it was everything they could have hoped for on their big day. Nikki says that they visited the W when it was under construction but saw their vision and knew that it would be a “fun, funky, classy place” to exchange their ‘I Dos.’ The selling point was of course the gorgeous view from the rooftop – it literally overlooks the White House! The couple also loved the hotel’s phenomenal wedding suite, the amazingly attentive staff, and the delicious food and drinks.
Their proposal story is any romantic girl’s dream — when Nikki was visiting Tom in Paris (yes, Paris!), as soon as she stepped off the plane to meet him, he greeted her with a hug, a kiss… and a proposal! He later explained he wanted the first words she heard from him in the most romantic city in the world to be “Will you marry me?” Of course, she said “Yes!”
The couple carried their incredibly sweet theme to their wedding – you can’t get much more romantic than getting married on Valentine’s Day!
Red roses, the symbol of Valentine’s Day, floated in glass vases everywhere you looked, along with white roses, lilies, and a fun, bright red flower in Nikki’s hair. We heart Multiflor!
The couple was lucky to miss the snow storm of 2010! Fortunately, the day of the wedding was snow-free and perfect – though Nikki admits the week leading up to it was nerve-wracking with back-to-back blizzards just days before.
An additional benefit to having your wedding on Valentines Day? Nikki jokes, “Now Tom will never have an excuse for forgetting our anniversary!”
