Real Wedding by the DC Green Wedding Consortium

On January 31, 2009 the Washington DC Green Wedding Consortium announced the winner of a $50,000 green wedding giveaway.  The DC Green Wedding Consortium is comprised of local vendors who make the extra effort to be as eco-friendly as possible.  

Dana and David, the VERY lucky winners of this fabulous giveaway, were married on Earth Day, April 22, at the Stephen Decatur House Museum.  Here are a few of the photos from their special day, generously donated by the members of the DC Green Wedding Consortium…

The wedding was captured by a duo of fabulous photographers — Jennifer Domenick of Love Life Images, and Tom Van Veen of Documentary Associates.

How cute is that pedi-cab?  I love it!  During the inauguration madness, I took a pedi-cab from downtown to Georgetown.  Despite the slight chill in the air (the “driver” gave me a sleeping bag to stay warm), I had a very fun time.   I wish we had more pedi-cabs in D.C…  They make for picture-perfect transportation for the bride & groom!

Oh, and I am totally swooning over this wedding cake by Debbie Delardi of Cakes by Design.  

Congratulations, Dana & David!
