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…

Wow.  What a beautiful wedding.  A big thanks to Andrew for always keeping us updated on his fabulous work!

First up, a Real Wedding sent to us by none other than Andrew Reilly.  If you’ve checked in with us before, you’ve probably heard about our obsession with Andrew.  He is a wedding photographer with an artistic edge.  His photos are, well, brilliant.  And, he just may be the nicest guy around.

Amir and Subha were married on May 23, 2009 at The Hay-Adams Hotel.  Their ceremony was held in the John-Hay Room, with cocktails, dinner, and dancing held on the roof of the hotel overlooking the White House.  Here’s the first rounds of photos… More to come in a bit!
