Saying Goodbye to 2011 and Hello to 2012!
Emily and Chris’ wedding from May 7th is exactly the type of celebration that I love to see. The couple accounted for each detail with personality and care to create a meaningful, special wedding day.
And, aren’t they just dashing?! What a classic and timeless bride and groom! Read the rest of this entry.
Today’s wedding is full of style! Robert and Mark are such a dapper couple, Longview Gallery is one of the coolest spaces in D.C. and the decor looks divine!
Jennifer and Randy were married on October 24th, 2009 in the middle of a torrential downpour as friends, family, and their very cute Havanese dog, Milly, looked on. The extremely personal ceremony took place at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Philip Merrill Center, performed by well-known animator Kit Laybourn. The flowers were impeccable, by Multiflor (a District Favorite!)
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a six-course gourmet meal, prepared by Design Cuisine. Dancing and conversation followed as everyone enjoyed the amazing music performed by Aria Hendricks and her band.
I especially love how clear it is that Jennifer and Randy pored over the details of their event and used their unique skill set (her BA in Film at Bard College and an MFA in Film & Television from New York University and his MFA in Film & Television from New York University) to create a vision for their eclectic, woodsy wedding style which was executed with perfection by their team of wedding professionals.
The mixing and matching of china is fabulous!
In particular, the green elements were extremely important to Jennifer and Randy — guests were transported to and from CBF via shuttle, carbon offsets were purchased for the wedding and guests’ transportation, invitations were letter-pressed (a greener form of printing), all printed materials and packaging utilized recycled paper, there was minimal use of flowers (and use of flowers in season and local) and the food was organic and local wherever possible.
Congrats to Jennifer and Randy!
