Continuing from last week’s post…here are more details from the pretty in pink wedding we did earlier this month at the Decatur House!  We showcased the beautiful and fun bridesmaid bouquet last week with the limes…Above is the bridal bouquet with pink peonies, white freesia and green hypericum berries.

Main Event Caterers brought these great ottomans in to have a fun lounge feel inside the carriage house!

We used rich colors in the altar arrangements with these pink and green hydrangea and pink peony mixture.

We loved this fresh look with pink hydrangea and pink peonies with pears inside the vase!

This pretty and simple cake was brought in by Main Event Caterers from Fancy Cakes by Leslie!

Congrats to Jane and Michael for the beautiful wedding day at the Decatur House!

We truly had one of the most beautiful, soulful and endearing weddings that we have ever been a part of this past Saturday.  (Yes – that is saying a lot – but I mean it!) I had the wonderful Mary Kate McKenna come to take some detail shots of some of the fun projects we did for the wedding.  Miguel made this custom 6x6x7 custom reclaimed wood trellis for this beautiful wedding day.  We added greenery and flowers to it.

The venue?  Shepherd’s Hey Farm…the family’s farm in Comus!  We hope it will soon become a venue where you can get married too!  We really did a lot of work to make their farm “wedding friendly” for all of their friends and family to gather to celebrate this special occasion!

Stay tuned for more details!

I forgot my camera once again (wanted to kick myself!) so sorry for the blackberry images!  This past weekend we had a beautiful wedding at the Decatur House.  The bride used our brand new trellis that we recently built that can be used for almost any outdoor wedding.  The trellis can be used as a mandap and a chuppah as well.  The bride and groom chose the trellis since they had both an Indian Ceremony and a Christian ceremony on the same day.  It worked perfectly for both!

The bride provided pretty orange overlays.  We had beautiful and simple arrangements of Dutch green hydrangea, purple vanda orchids and orange roses in cylindrical glass vases for the round tables.

The long tables had the same flowers on long rectangular tables, plus they had submerged orchids in cylindrical glass vases with purple votives.

Congrats to Sangeeta and Clay!

Finally getting a chance to blog about one of our weddings from two weekends ago.  This lovely wedding at the Decatur House was small and intimate with lots of hydrangea and peonies for all to enjoy!  I love this simple bridal bouquet which smelled delicious with peonies, lavender, freesia and a touch of delphinium.

The maid of honor got this beautiful and elegant all white peony bouquet and each of the mothers got small nosegays of lavender.

We were able to use our pretty chocolate urns from Pottery Barn to set atop our own customized wooden pedetals.  The urns were filled with lush blooms of white, blue and green hydrangea.

The simple centerpieces had beautiful peonies, blue hydrangea and green dendrobium orchids.  Lot of candles were used both under the tent and in the carriage house.

Congrats to Vanessa & John!

So many friends and brides asked me what I did for Earth Day.  Was it some amazing project?  Another free wedding for a lucky couple?  Plant trees?  Nope – none of the above.  Well – we did go live with with the Eco-Beautiful Weddings Wedding Earth Day Mini Mag – which was fun for sure!

What I did do is talk about what Earth Day means to me to my child and together we did a couple of small things to help make the world a greener place.  I also remembered how last year I was coordinating Virdina and Kevin’s wedding on Earth Day (click here to see more photos from their wedding at the Decatur House).  Yes, as part of a team, we gave away a $50,000 wedding on Earth Day (for the second time) to help educate couples in the DC area that you can have a fabulous wedding that is eco-friendly and stylish.  I am pretty sure the message got across as over 62% of our couples in this past year have specifically come to our firm asking for some help in going green on their wedding day.

I have a confession to make to all of our brides and grooms: all of our couples get 100% eco-friendliness from our firm. We can’t change who we are!  We are green and we dig it – YEAR ROUND!  Not just on Earth Day!

So – a couple of brides and vendors asked me – Why no free wedding this year?  Well, the answer is simple.  We were able to show a ton of brides and grooms that going green can be stylish.  But on top of it – we were able to really show vendors how to go green as well.  We continue to educate vendors around the world on how to go green!

So this Earth Day, I tipped my hat to Virdina and Kevin’s 1st year anniversary and reveled in the fact that they had a fabulous wedding on one of the greenest days of the year!  My hope is that you are trying to plan your stylish green wedding and will look to us for guidance!

Happy Earth Day, Revisited!

Dreaming about your wedding day but worried how to keep it stylish, fresh and eco-friendly at the same time?  This 4th Installment for Earth Day Week is about how to keep the flowers and the details green!  That is what we specialize in.  Eco-friendly flowers and details is what makes your wedding yours.  If you are like most couples, hundreds (if not thousands) of them have gotten married at your venue before – so the only way to make it special is with floral designs and personal touches.

Working with a logistical team and local farmers, distributors and nature itself, we design an overall design scheme for you to help fit your style!  From flowers that are grown in the US, Canada, New Zealand and Holland (the last two have some of the toughest fair trade and wage laws in the world and Holland practically invented the cut flower trade).  Using a combination of carbon offsetting, commercial flights (as opposed to Fedex or UPS) and sheer information and research – we are able to provide you with the best possible options.  Our inventory boasts thousands of pieces of glassware from small to large.  We don’t charge a “rental” fee for them like most florists do – we just simply pick up our stuff at the end of the night.  With most weddings – we will take any leftover flowers to a nursing home (complimentary).  If not – we also compost!  Our in-house paper and glass lantern inventory is extensive and in every color imaginable.  And…if we don’t have it in stock – we will get it for you!  We have even used leftover beading from Christmas tree decor for a bridesmaid’s bouquet!  We love to upcycle and reinvent weddings.

In conjunction with our flower department and lighting, we have all sorts of decor and favor options available for you.  We have LED lights for our paper lanterns, in-house glassware (like mason jars for serving lemonade on a sunny wedding afternoon).  We also have over 500 pieces of vintage and modern glassware just for candy and food bars.  If your venue or caterer only has trays – we have trays, footed candy bowls, 3-tiered petit four/cupcake plates and more.  We have our own carpentry team in house to custom design mandaps, chuppahs, arches, trellis’, chalkboards, directional signs and more.

We help take your dreams and ideas and make them a reality with the extensive collection of items we have in our inventory to the extensive reach of vendors that we work with in the DC area.  We have an extensive information database gathered from around the world with our magazine team of writers, photographers, interns, researchers and photo editors (Eco-Beautiful Weddings).  There is simply no other event design firm in the DC/Baltimore area that has as much experience, inventory and knowledge about going green as our team here at Elegance & Simplicity, Inc.!  Go green for your wedding today – email us inquiries @ eleganceandsimplicity.com!

Levy Restaurants caters at the park and produced a wonderful dessert buffet as well!

Eli Staples Music performed with an amazing jazz band to open up the evening with!

Ahhh – Nicole…I will never forget when you whipped out that photo of your dress when you came to my studio. It was love (for me) at first sight!!  I wanted your blue dress on my blog and now – here it is baby!

Nicole had tons of dried purple, green and blue hydrangea from her mother’s backyard for us to use!  It meant a ton to her for us to use them as we added other fresh, local and sustainable flowers into the mix!  This incredible fall bouquet worked beautifully with her gorgeous blue gown.  Her bouquet was comprised of burgundy dahlias, link pink ranunculus, scabiosa pods, astrantia with hints of the dried hydrangea.

Jeffrey wore such a handsome suit and we created a matching boutonniere comprised of a single burgundy dahlia and florets of the dried green hydrangea.

The centerpieces were comprised of dried hydrangea, dahlias and roses which were set off beautifully on those chocolate pin-tuck linens!  YUM!

Congrats to Nicole + Jeffrey on such a beautiful eco-friendly wedding!  Stay tuned for more images in our featured weddings section of the website!

The gorgeous photos are from Heather Z Photography!

Here is the 3rd and final blog post on Kate + Aaron’s Georgetown Affair!  I really want to focus on the decor details in this post as we really had so much fun creating a bunch of different designs for their wedding!  Kate’s fragrant bouquet was chock full of beautiful blossoms including garden roses, freesia, rosemary, delphinium and salal leaves.

Kate chose long tables to display all sorts of different types of centerpieces.  No table was the same and no arrangement was the same.  All she asked was for interesting white and green flowers to sprinkle down the center of the table! The above centerpiece held simple blooms of white hydrangea with salal leaves.

Along the center of each table we added floating candles mixed in with the bride’s own votive candles.

I love using rosemary with wedding flowers (especially in our vintage cups), as they are a sign of fidelity.  We also adore it when color from food (like the lime in the water) can add that extra pop to a tablescape!  Main Event Caterers did such a fabulous job at Dumbarton House that day!

Kate and Aaron chose white lanterns for their lighting along with the uplighting and beautiful tent provided by Sugar Plum.  Planning and designing this beautiful event was easy with clients that had such beautiful taste!

Congrats to Kate + Aaron!

Spoke to one of my favorite photographers (Kathy Blanchard) today as I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of photos from Margaret and Pat’s wedding in the fall at Rust Manor.  Margaret is Ameena’s sister and you may remember her wedding from last year.  If not – take a look at Ameena’s wedding by clicking here.

We used blankets to help keep the guests warm for the fall weather – although they only needed them later in the evening.  What was so wonderful about this is that all of the blankets got distributed to their families and the leftover blankets were donated to charity.

This photo (and the one above) I tweeted from my phone the day of the wedding and I think it got more comments and retweets than any other tweet I had ever tweeted.  Even though this was taken from my blackberry – you can still see how fun this wedding was.  We used grape and key lime sodas from Stewarts to match her color theme and then individually attached the escort card tags to the cute vintage paper straws.  The straws and tags were recycled afterwards as well as the bottles.

There are so many more details coming – hopefully by Christmas!  Well worth the wait!

Yes – we are on part four of our Jordan and Jeremy’s Wedding and I think there will be at least 2 more posts! Of course – the 1st three posts were just teasers and sneak peaks from camera phones!  However – we have gathered all the photos from Ralph Alswang and  we were finally able to sort through and show the best of the best!

Today – I am going to focus on the 1st part of the day through the end of the ceremony as the details are a plenty.  From the beginning to the end of this – you will see Jordan and Jeremy’s color palette of pink, yellow and green!  Of course – pink is the main color – starting with her cute purse and bouquets (above)!

It was a scorching hot day in DC.  They took a quick drive over to the monuments with Ralph in order to take a few portraits -which lasted all of 5 minutes!  Getting over to the Ronald Reagan Building was in their best interests at that point!  Her beautiful gown was bought at Kleinfeld’s in New York city – a Kirstie Kelly dress that Robin from Polished Image and Style helped her pick out!

Their wedding had a theme of travel, fun, school and love!  Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post to figure out why there is a map behind this program and why the parasols!

You might recognize the reclaimed wood trellis from a previous post – but we are so happy with this structure as it has been used 3 times since their June wedding in different ways!

I loved creating this bouquet for Jordan!  It’s not often that I get to use yellow peonies – but we had them here!  The entire bouquet was comprised of peonies, ranunculus and freesia.

A quick kiss after the ceremony before heading off for more photos and the cocktail hour!

Part V tomorrow!

I can’t begin to imagine how many blog posts I will do for this wedding – so I am not even going to try to number them!  Candace and Chris Ourisman’s wedding was a showcase wedding beyond my wildest dreams.  Candace had such amazing ideas and she let me be as creative as possible with the decor aspect.  She wanted a real eco-chic, modern, shabby-chic, gorgeous wedding.  I think we nailed it!

You will see from all of these various photos that we took a lot from our inventory and infused a few new pieces.  We had a ton of tea cups, vintage frames, mason jars, and glass milk bottles already – but we added a few new antique items for this wedding.  New items included things like milk glass and vintage tea cups from our local antique shops.  Almost all of the pieces we used in their centerpieces were actual antiques!

Candace chose a beautiful color palette of whites and greens with touches of turquoise here and there!

We had such a fun time with turn-over for this wedding.  Above are floating floral designs that we hung above the tapenade station during cocktail hour.  Stay tuned for what we did with them after dinner!

More to come from their wedding this week!

(Of course – a HUGE Thanks to Jennifer Domenick from Love Life Images for these amazing photos!)

Congrats to Jeannete and Joey!

Their wedding was in July at St. John’s followed by their reception at the Decatur House!

I just loved her dress with those fantastic ruffles!

We made some pretty traditional bouquets comprised of  roses, lisianthus, and stargazer lilies…along with the adorable carnation pomander below:

Then came the reception!

Jeannette opted for three different centerpieces:

1) Tall Peach Gladioli mixed with white dendrobium orchids

2) Low pink Dutch hydrangea centerpieces

3) Tall simple arrangements with pink hydrangea

(Love the combination with the blue linens)

She also had a special guest!  Michael Steele!!

A big thank you to Odell Photos for these images and again – many congrats to our happy couple!

Cheers,

I apologize that I did not get this post up last week!  I was hoping to make the floral explanation series a weekly thing!  But doing a destination wedding for a friend took priority – I will share those photos with you soon!

Today I want to talk about dahlias.  We are entering the best season for dahlias.  You can get them throughout August but they really start to  look amazing in September and October.

They come in a variety of colors and we love working with them as they give any arrangement nice texture.  Colors include the vibrant orange above, peach, white with a hint of green, magenta, purple, burgundy, yellow and light pink.  I will warn you though – they have a very pungent. musky smell to them.  If you are easily affected by the smells of flowers – I would stay away from this flower.  However, they are hearty flowers and on average they are moderately priced.

Our favorite place to buy  dahlias are from a local farm and from our growers in Oregon.  Why?  These are the most eco-friendly ways to go.  Of course with local farmers we are giving back to the local economy and there is one farm in particular we love that we also buy fruits and veggies from.  Then, the farmers in Oregon are able to produce their dahlias without pesticides and that we love!

I will say that even though the bouquet above is comprised entirely of dahlias, I do not recommend this all the time.  The shape of most dahlias make it more difficult to make a perfectly rounded shape for a bouquet. However, if you like the English garden or loose garden look for a bouquet – they are perfect choice.  We also think they are fantastic for centerpieces and large garden altar displays.

As we get closer to fall, we are starting to order more and more dahlias.  If you are planning your fall wedding for next year – keep dahlias on your “to do” list!

We were so excited to meet Maggie Labaugh (right above) of Magpie’s Cake and her sister and marketing director Jessica Rapier (left above) yesterday that I think yesterday’s cake and cookie tasting might have been the best we have ever had!

Maggie brought her delicious samples in a delicate box complete with linen napkins and sterling silver forks!  Tara and I just marveled at the presentation alone!

If you take a look at the menu of goodies that were prepared for us – you will see  that this was not your ordinary cake tasting.  Every cake was a progression from light and fluffiness to rich decadence.  I landed at the Mexican Vanilla Cake with Earl Grey Ganache and fell in love.  Tara loved the Fiori Di Sicilia Chiffon cake with Strawberry and Champage Preserves and vanilla buttercream – which had a wonderful orange creamsicle tinge to it!  The Double Chocolate Espresso Cake was not for the faint of heart and definitely had a kick to it!

Every cake comes with a delightful detailed hand-drawn treasure,  Maggie is all about creating her cakes from a highly stylized perspective.  These are not the typical buttercream, three-tiered cakes – they are works of art.

She is a an amazing artist!  She also does cookies!

She even made a cute E&S cookie for us.  We love these cookies so much – we just could not eat them!  (Well – we ate one – shhh)

Stay tuned as we are in the throws of planning their launch party and you are invited!

If you are wanting to take your wedding or special occasion cake to the next level – Maggie is the person to call!

Happy Cake Eating!

Meet Laura Swanstrom Reece of The Silken Thread!  I was thrilled to be a part of such a cute event for her 5th anniversary over at Frosting!  Not only did I get to meet the mastermind behind this incredible company, but got to see some good friends and catch up with Michelle of Frosting!

I absolutely love this concept of placing this embroidered monogram inside your wedding gown. This is great as a gift! My own sister-in-law had one just like it for her wedding day and she got it as a gift at her bridal shower!

So many of my brides hold a handkerchief around their bridal bouquet – this hemstich monogram handkerchief is also perfect as a gift or just to buy for yourself as a bride to pass down through the generations!  Since The Silken Thread is local it is fantastic for local brides – but you can also buy personalized embroidered items for any occasion right from her website!

Laura and her team were smart by having their party at Frosting!  The cupcakery in Chevy Chase is adorable and the cupcakes are divine.  They were featuring a gluten-free chocolate cupcake today.  I had the raspberry cupcake – as showcased by the staff here:

Since I know the lady behind the scenes – I was able to grab a few swag bags to give away to you!  I have one bag to give away as I already gave one away on Twitter yesterday.

Here is the catch – you have to tell me what you are doing to go green in your life and for your wedding (or wedding business)!  These keepsakes from Laura are true treasures and quality products that will last for generations.  These are not throw-away items and we love anything personalized for a wedding that will last for years to come.  Write in the comments section below about how you are doing something unique to go green and I will send the fab swag bag to you!  I will pick a winner on Monday!

Here is a cute photo of the swag bag from Anh Nguyen:

Good Luck!

For those of you who do not follow me on Twitter – I thought I would go ahead and post the three images that I posted to  Twitter the day of Jordan and Jeremy’s wedding on June 26, 2010.  Keep in mind all of these photos were taken by my Blackberry – so they are not the finest in photography!  Those will come shortly from Ralph Alswang!

As you can see – this was a very bright and summery wedding!  I can’t wait to show you all the pink, yellow and green yummy details.

We created our signature photobooth for Jordan with her colors and style from her wedding.  Above is Jen Franz from Documentary Associates who took the photos at the photobooth during the reception! I can’t wait to show some of the funniest photos I have ever seen from a photobooth and the funnest props!

Now this photo is really terrible and does not show the true essence of this decor piece at the reception.  We brought in actual school lockers that we painted in their wedding colors!  We still have the lockers in stock as we just could not part from them!  Inside the lockers were her stuff, his stuff and then in the yellow locker – their stuff.

There is so much more to show – so stay tuned for the professional photos – which will be so much better than these!  But I just could not wait to show these to you!

Ahh – we just can’t say enough about Kendall & Mo’s wedding!  So I decided to break it up into 4 posts!  Yes!  I thought I was just going to do 3 posts – but there was so much going on at this wedding – I just can’t get enough of it.  The 1st post was just a teaser last week with their chalkboard!

Today – it’s all about the wonderful and creative Etsy Designers that they used!

All stationary (save the dates, invites, custom cardstock, escort cards, thank you notes, etc.) were done by Magnolia Papier.  Taylor was AWESOME with all of Kendall’s special requests!

These flowers were attached to her escort card table – which I show the entire table in tomorrow’s yummy post!

You will see the two love birds below – that were everywhere at the wedding!

Her stationery items were also inspiration for her cake – which will be in a another post this week!

Their Fingerprint tree by Sweet Carolina Design

Her beautiful crystal headband was by LELETNY (as seen above in their portait – which I love with her amazing eyes flashin’!)

Kendall gave me and the bridesmaids beautiful vintage crystal brooches from Aged and Opulent (which I adore since her colors were also the colors of my wedding – yum!) and from Vintage and Victorian!

And these freakin’ adorable fairy wings for the cutie pie flower girl by attiTUTUde!

Stay tuned tomorrow for all the decor we provided that day!

A big hug and thanks to Jennifer Hughes for these magnificent photos!

I can’t wait to hear more about their honeymoon to Costa Rica!  We loved planning for their big day and we will certainly post more details about their wedding on the main website soon!

Here is a sneak peek!  Will post more photos soon!

These are are my favorite of portraits of them at the Decatur House and at St. John’s Church.  I posted some detail shots recently – but these are my favorite portraits!

This photo of Erin with her bridesmaids is absolutely timeless.  I can actually compare this particular photo to some of my mom’s friends photos, photos from 10 years ago and I am sure I will be able to compare it 30 years from now.  Beautiful women in strapless and flattering cocktail dresses with a stunning bride and her beautiful dress and veil.  With the backdrop of carefully designed cathedral length walls, you have the makings of a stunning, classic and timeless photo.  Bravo Jennifer, Bravo!

Congrats Erin and Chris, a truly wonderful wedding day for a truly lovely Washingtonian couple!

Cheers, Katie Martin

Finally got a peek at Hannah and Clay’s wedding from March at the Carnegie Institute of Science which was followed by their lively reception at Sequoia’s.  Nicole from Sota Dzine was the photographer and I love how they make couples look like rock stars!  :-)

I had a great time making Hannah’s bridal bouquet.  She really did let me be creative!

To see a few more photos – take a look at Sota’s blog post as well by clicking here!

I will blog more about their wedding soon!
