One of my favorite photographers in town, Michael Bonfigli, sent me this wedding and I am so excited to share it with you today!! It feels so “traditional wedding” that I just am happy looking at the photos over and over again, thinking about what a nice day it must have been for bride Kristie and her groom – now husband – Michael!
Jenny and Chris were married at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in the oh-so-lovely Woodley Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C. – such a great spot!
The hotel’s garden, which was in full bloom this past April, provided the perfect, elegant backdrop for this outdoor spring wedding. The couple’s fun and laid-back attitude set the mood for the whole day – thanks to Eli Turner Studios for sharing the pretty pics!
Earlier this year, bride blogger Catherine was darling enough to share her wedding planning journey as she plotted and designed her big day!
Well, today, I have the pleasure of sharing her beautiful, emotion-filled wedding pictures by the talented Jay Premack…so happy!
Today’s Real Wedding is fun, elegant, and dramatic — all wrapped up in one celebration!
Thank you to Deb Lindsey Photography for sharing Karla and Matt’s big day!!
Bride Blogger Catherine was married this past weekend and I am dying to hear all about it! Yet, until she returns home to D.C. after the honeymoon, I supposed we will have to wait…In the meantime, here is her fun story behind their band!
***
My fiancé (now husband!) and I wanted to have a lively dance party during the reception, so we decided to put a lot of thought into choosing the right music.
Music is what drives the energy of the night, so know in advance what your dancing preference is. Because music was so important to us, we decided to hire a band — one of the best decisions we made.
There are so many talented local bands, which means you have the opportunity to find one to fit your style! We were very fortunate to have heard about Doctor’s Orders, part of the Bialek’s Music group.
We knew the moment that we watched their promo videos online that they were a perfect complement to our vision. The song that sold us: Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a prayer.” What made us love them more was being able to meet them and to see them perform at local wedding planning events.
