Kristina and Patrick married on the most perfect May day at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, a staple in Old town, followed by a rowdy yet stunning reception at Congressional Country Club. The couple opted to forgo a first look and see each other at the altar of the church, and the love between them definitely could […]

Classic DC Wedding at Carnegie Institution

Jennifer and Michael came to us to plan their fall wedding at DAR in the heart of DC. We helped them curate an amazing group of vendors and a warm preppy color story of pinks, mint, and gold to run throughout the day.

Classic Cherry Blossom Ceremony

I fell in love with Erin’s vision at our very first meeting and clamored at the opportunity to bring it to life. After a years worth of planning, one perfectly mossed dog topiary by the brides mother, and a lush arrangement of textures including velvet, satin, and chiffon this wedding was perfection. It was recently featured […]
