Today’s Real Wedding is a perfect example of a wedding that embraces the season, personal taste and a fabulous DC venue. Claire Sullivan and Harlow Voorhees were married last October at the splendid Four Seasons of Washington, DC. Rick from Amaryllis worked closely with the bride and her mother, Lila, to design a look that was unique and embraced the time of year.
The autumn color palette, the moss, the full blooms – wow, I LOVE it! The ceremony took place in the Dahlgren Chapel in Georgetown.
If you have been lucky enough to dine at the Four Seasons, you know that their food is out of this world. On the night of Claire and Harley’s wedding, over 300 guests dined on a quadrant plate menu, that included Crabcake with Vegetables slowly Poached in Olive Oil, Bell Pepper Roue and Micro Greens; Slow Cooked Short Ribs with Celery Root Puree & Whole Baby Heirloom Carrots; Korean BBQ Shrimp with Tropical Fruit Salad, Chili Oil; Mushroom Carpaccia with Tomato Brunoise & Micro Greens Garnish – YUM!
The service was a la minute so everything happened in real time.
The dessert was a tasting portion of the bride’s favorite of traditional apple crisp with Four Seasons flair of housemade cinnamon ice cream. Later in the evening, the hotel served traditional wedding cake. And, guests got down to one of the best bands in town, Sound Connection by Andy Kushner Entertainment.
