Winter Wedding at the Decatur House

Although we are in the middle of a beautiful spring day, I know that many of you are planning fall and winter weddings.  Since it is often difficult to put yourself in the mindset of a season, I thought I’d help you out a bit with photos from a beautiful winter affair…

Last December, Samantha and Steve were married at the gorgeous Decatur House on Lafayette Square.  Arioth Harrison, the Director of Special Events, clued us in to their wedding, and was kind enough to share all of the details.  The incredibly talented Lynne Brubaker captured the day from start to finish in her amazing photojournalistic style.  And the details of the event were the incredible work of Allison Jackson of Pineapple Productions.  Take a look…

Check out this gorgeous church… Oh, I love it!  It is the Holy Rosary Church on Third Street, NW.

There is both an indoor space and an outdoor space at the Decatur House.  The outdoor space is always tented for weddings.  The two spaces together make a wonderful flow for cocktails to dinner to dancing.  For Samantha and Steve’s wedding, Allison planned cocktails indoors, dinner in the tent outside (which, by the way, remains very cozy and comfortable despite the winter temperatures), and dancing back indoors.

From Allison…

“We included some fun details like Limoncello Cosmos as a signature cocktail, and a fabulous made to order espresso drink bar with peppermint white chocolate mocha and hot chocolate in custom to go coffee cups. We also handed out Krispy Kremes in custom packaging as guests departed.”  

Um…yum!!  A Made-to-Order Expresso Bar?  That is definitely an idea worth stealing.  Love the Krispy Kreme favors, too!
