Bride Blogger Kimberly tells us how she , Will, and their guests will be getting down on the  big day…

Music + Dancing = Fun! This is one of the elements I have been looking forward to delving into for a long time. One of the things that I have never understood is why people don’t take advantage of the music provided to them during a wedding reception? Personally, this has always been one of my favorite elements, and because of this, I’m going to make sure that everyone is up and dancing at some point during my reception because I know I will!

In order to make sure everyone has s good time, my challenge is to make sure that there is music that everyone can shake a tail feather to. For the people that are friends of me and my significant other, it will be a piece of cake. Everyone else not in the 25 – 40 age brackets; we might be up for a bit of a challenge finding something everyone can enjoy.

Four Seasons Wedding

Categories: Garden Whimsical, Planning & Ideas February 22, 2010 / Danielle Freedman

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.
