When it comes to D.C. wedding experts, Katie Martin takes the cake. Owner of Elegance & Simplicity, a wonderfully successful wedding planning firm, Katie Martin is a multi-talented party planner.
In addition to running Elegance & Simplicity, Katie also manages the US Green Wedding Consortium (remember this wedding?), the US Couture Wedding Consortium, and Green Love Events (her green events firm). Whew! She’s a busy lady!
You can imagine how excited I was to hear from her. Not only did she feature District Weddings on her blog (I was so flattered!), she also sent me these gorgeous photos of a recent wedding she planned. Oh, and what do you know, the photos were captured by one of our District Faves — Love Life Images, Inc!
Susanna and Ariel were married at the Omni Shoreham Hotel. They probably worked with my friend William! Katie used hints of red and gold, as they are auspicious in the Chinese culture….
Did you notice those beautiful carnation pomander balls? What a fabulous way to line an aisle, or even mark your “reserved seating” rows!
Such a fun wedding! I love the Chinese dragon dancers. Thanks for sharing, Katie!!
Next up today, I’ll be giving my own Bride Blogger update. I’ve been anxious to tell you about my hair and make-up trials…
