Dumbarton House Wedding

Hello and Happy Monday! First, I want to thank all of our survey participants from last week! We will be announcing the winner of the fabulous Vineyard Vines giveaway later this evening.

Next up, I am delighted to share this beautiful, whimsical wedding by Love Life Images and Pam Barefoot of Atrendy Wedding. The girls got ready at The Westin Fairfax Embassy Row and then headed to the ceremony at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church…Oh this father-daughter moment was captured with such grace.


Guests were welcomed to town with these adorable floral bags. How fun are the detailed props from the bird cages to the pom poms?! A game of bocce ball anyone?

The Dumbarton House looks absolutely beautiful. For the trillionith time, event lighting (so important!) makes this space look even more breathtaking – we heart Frost Lighting! And, of course, as always, the flowers by Philippa Tarrant are so romantic.

Thank you to Pam for sharing Annabel and Tim’s wedding with us!

    Thank you for honoring Dumbarton House as venue of the day! We were very pleased to host Annabel and Tim’s wedding, a really great event and lovely couple (wonderful details!). We still have some holes in our spring/summer/fall 2010 calendar, so we would be very glad to welcome any and all “District Brides” to come to take a look at our site. Thanks, District Weddings!

    I love those pictures – the one of her trying not to cry is great, as is the one with her dad in the mirror. Her dress is gorgeous.

    We designed the invitations, menus and other stationery items for her wedding. Her wedding turned out beautifully.
