This beautiful couple was married at the Andrew W. Mellon auditorium. Oh, I am in love with those flowers (dendrobium orchids) and the gorgeous decor, designed by Amaryllis, Inc. This wedding was planned by Aimee Dominick, of A.Dominick Events, and the invitation likely read “Black Tie Optional.” Technically, that means the couple would prefer for the gentlemen to wear tuxedos, but they will understand if a man shows up in a suit instead. But what should the ladies wear?

Gone are the days of long beaded dresses and ball-gown numbers for a black tie wedding, especially black tie optional. I think a modern take on the “little black dress” would be perfect for this occasion. Here are a few I found at White House Black Market… Dress them up with a black peep-toe heal and silver clutch and you’re good to go!
These lovely dresses are available online, as well as at the following White House Black Market locations:
Georgetown Park, 3222 M. Street, NW Washington, DC
Union Station, 50 Massachusetts Ave, NE Washington, DC
Tysons Corner Center, 8023L Tysons Corner Center, McLean, VA
Congressional Plaza, 1603 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD
We have two more weddings to show you…more to come later today!
