We had such a wonderful weekend with 6 fantastic brides at some of the most fabulous venues in the Washington, DC area. On Saturday, Keya and her assistants delivered beautiful designs and lanterns for Claire K.’s wedding at the Meridian House. Here is her fabulous bouquet:
I heard that Barbara from The Observatory was their photographer – so I am excited to see those photos! I loved Claire’s color palette of ice blues, lavenders and cool greens. Her bouquet was definitely the favorite that I made this past weekend!
Then Stephanie and Kevin delivered our striking monochromatic deep red floral designs to Marie for her wedding at Holy Trinity in Georgetown and their reception 101 Constitution’s rooftop terrace (by the way, catered by Avalon Caterers!) Here is a peek at their centerpieces consisting of burgundy dupioni silk covered vases filled with bursting peonies, mini calla lilies, tulips and roses:
Arney, Tara and Charlie consulted and delivered flowers and installed lanterns at the GW River Farm for Claire S.’s wedding! Here is Claire’s beautiful and traditional bridal bouquet:
Miguel, Chrishaun, Lauren and I had a fantastic time while consulting and doing the chuppah and floral designs for Susan and Matt’s ceremony at the Historic 6th & I Synagogue. The ceremony was followed by a festive and fun reception at the Woman’s National Democratic Club complete with our blue and pink colored glass candy jars filled with 30 different types of candy! I was able to take a quick sneak photo of their ceremony for you! Eli Turner will have photos for us soon! We also had the pleasure of having Chris Dunn play classical guitar for both the ceremony and cocktail hour. If you have not had a chance to hear Chris play, he is truly THE classical guitarist in the Baltimore-Washington area! We loved working with Susan from the beginning and truly enjoyed the day! Mazel Tov Susan & Matt!
Then Tinica and Jeannine were at the Omni Shoreham for Leila’s wedding! We do not have any photos from that wedding yet! We did not do the flowers for them, but helped to coordinate their large and elegant Persian-American wedding!
Yes – all of the above was on Saturday!
Then – we went back to the Omni Shoreham on Sunday for Susanna and Ariel’s wedding! All I can say is that it was fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! A truly cultural event with both Susanna’s Chinese culture infused with Ariel’s Jewish traditions. Complete with a fabulous (and auspicious) gold and red dragonfly (a symbol of summer and happiness) embroidered topper for their chuppah and yarmulkes to the exciting performance by Lion Dancers at the reception. The bride changed her dress twice during the reception (as is customary in traditional Chinese weddings)! There are so many details from this wedding, I could probably write a small book about it. I don’t have photos yet – but Jennifer Domenick and Mary Gardella Hester of Love Life Images were both there to capture the moments! I will post their wedding photos and more photos from the above weddings as I receive them from the various photographers over the next couple of weeks!
More to come, Congratulations to all of our couples this weekend! – Katie Martin
