Saying Goodbye to 2011 and Hello to 2012!
Jeff Greenough, one of the most talented photographers that I know, shot this this oh-so-lovely wedding this past fall The Fairfax at Embassy Row – I am oooing and ahhing over the lace detailed dress, the lush flowers, the happy guests – and of course the adorable Caitlin and Matt!
Happy Monday!
It’s Monday and, in an attempt to get back on our regular schedule, Monday means real wedding. And boy, do I have a jaw-dropping real wedding to share with you.
Emily and Charlie were married on September 19, 2009 at the Meridian House. To pull together an event that was both flawless and filled with style, Emily and Charlie turned to the oh-so-talented Aimee Dominick of A. Dominick Events (a District Favorite!).
I asked Aimee about this fabulous affair and here’s what she had to say…
This wedding at the Meridian House was my favorite look so far this year. I just loved the mix of the contemporary clean decor against the grand, historic setting. I’m fairly certain it was the first time anyone used a disco ball at the venue. It was also really fun to work with the bride’s palette of white, black and hot pink- so fun and unexpected!
Photographer extraordinaire Jeff Greenough captured these beautiful photos and was kind enough to send them our way. I usually select a handful of photos for our real wedding features, but there were so many amazing shots, I just couldn’t narrow it down. Without further ado…
The girls got ready at the fabulous Hay-Adams Hotel… Such a luxurious, beautiful location to prep for the big day!
Look at this phenomenal transformation. Aimee and her team clearly know how to execute a picture-perfect vision.
I am loving everything about this wedding… the white, black, pink…the mix of modern and traditional…Emily’s pink shoes and not one, but two gorgeous dresses…
A huge thanks to Jeff Greenough and A. Dominick Events for sharing this gorgeous wedding with us. Congrats Charlie and Emily — you definitely threw a show-stopping party!
As I said this morning, I LOVE Charlottesville weddings… Just a short drive from my favorite city (D.C.), Charlottesville provides an unbelievable backdrop for a wedding day. Being from a small town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, I love Charlottesville for the same reasons I love my hometown — the charm and the people. In fact, I lived in Charlottesville for five years before moving to D.C.
While I’ll always adore chic city weddings that take place in the heart of the District, I have a special place in my heart for weddings in Charlottesville.
That’s why I decided to start planning my own there.

Yes, that’s right! I’m engaged. I’ve been dying to tell you all, but with so many wonderful things happening in the D.C. wedding world, there was just too much else to talk about!
I’ll keep you updated on my own wedding finds, especially what I’m learning as a bride-to-be — seeing things from a perspective different than that as a wedding planner or a wedding blogger.
Our wedding is scheduled for September — less than 7 months away, I know! So if I am posting late at night, or sometimes into the following day, you’ll know why — things are pretty crazy!
Tomorrow we’ll kick off another exciting planning journey…a Green Wedding being planned by the D.C. Couture Wedding Consortium! Stay tuned!
If you’re checking in for the first time today, we are so grateful to have these gorgeous pictures from Jeff Greenough. Liz & Brian were married last October in Charlottesville, Virginia. Look at the adorable white mini pumpkins, those gorgeous centerpieces, and the glow of candlelight everywhere you look… Aimee Dominick really outdid herself on this one!
