DAR Wedding

Jamie Sears, owner of Simply Chic Events, one of our Favorite planners in town, worked with Melissa and Wilson to design their jaw-dropping wedding this past fall.

The ceremony took place at Holy Rosary Church, one of the most historic and beautiful churches in DC.

After the breathtaking ceremony, guests moved to DAR, for social cocktails and an elegant dinner.

I absolutely love the groom’s cake, as a take on the movie Cast Away and the groom’s name, Wilson. Such creativity by Fluffy Thoughts!

District Places: DAR Constitution Hall

DAR Constitution Hall is quickly becoming one of the most popular wedding venues around.  Back in April, after we featured this wedding sent to us by photographer Andrew Reilly, we received so many emails asking for more information on DAR Constitution Hall.  So, we did some research for you…

DAR Constitution Hall is located at 17th & D Streets, NW, very close to the National Monument, the Ellipse, and the White House.  With several rooms available for rental, DAR Constitution Hall offers many options for any wedding ceremony and reception.

Stay tuned…later today we have a beautiful wedding held at DAR Constitution Hall to show you!

Real Wedding: Courtney & Scott by Andrew Reilly

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  We’re kicking off an exciting week with a gorgeous wedding sent to us by photographer Andrew Reilly.  You may already know about my love of Andrew Reilly’s work.  I think he is one of the best.  We’ve featured weddings shot by Andrew several times on this blog, and each time, he takes our breath away.  

Andrew has this ability to capture precious moments, beautiful details, and the joy of a wedding, all with an artist’s eye.  Seriously, you could frame any of his photos and hang them in your house — regardless of who’s in them.  They are that good.

Courtney and Scott were married just a few weeks ago at DAR Constitution Hall.  Elizabeth Emerson of Bloomsday Events, based in Brooklyn, NY, designed the event and created the beautiful floral arrangements.  Blue Sky Films, a local District Weddings favorite, captured the day on video.  What a picture-perfect D.C. wedding…
