J + J chose to still get married on their (second) 2020 date at the DC War Memorial. 🏛They said they have no regrets and married life is fantastic! We are so happy for them and can’t wait to celebrate them with their friends and family in 2021! 🎉

This bride and groom chose to just have their Maid of Honor and Best Man at their sides. Will you be having a small, medium, or large wedding party?

We had a 4D ultrasound yesterday! It was so cool to see Baby Cane so up close and they can tell she has hair already on her head! My mom said it looks like she will look like me... check out my stories - what do you think?

Details, Details ✨ Brides usually put a lot of thought into their wedding day shoes! Are you going to splurge on a Dior or Valentino stiletto or go with something more practical but cute if your wedding is outside on grass? These black @dior heels were part of the bride’s second reception look!

Have you had croquembouche before? It’s a traditional French 🇫🇷 dessert of stuffed pastries commonly served at weddings! It was quite the hit with guests at this wedding!

This is the best feeling. That moment you reveal the reception space to the bride, and all those months or years of planning have come to fruition and her happiness is immense. Those emails, calls, heavy conversations, meetings, all culminate in this one moment that they will remember for the rest of their lives. #saveevents @dceventscoalition @liveeventsco

Your wedding day details are captured when the photographer first arrives to your suite. We make sure they are all together and set aside sometimes even pre-styling them! We also request for styling florals from your florist and ensure those are delivered before the photographer arrives... so you get pretty commemorative pictures like these!
PS - if you want your wedding published, these detail pictures are extremely important!

Sometimes a certain linen print or charger design will get us very excited as wedding planners, such was me when I saw this gorgeous floral linen by @bbjlinen ! I loved designing this tablescape around it that was accented with deep purples and grapes and figs! 🍇

I will frequently hear from brides that they will scale back on day-of paper to save, but I do love how a pretty menu really can bring together the whole tablescape look! When we get to that part of the design process, we will explore how the setting could look with and without a menu, and I have to say, when we’re one month out and you have to order menus or not, many times the brides will choose to order them! Plus it’s nice to inform your guests of the dinner menu that you spent so much time curating! 🍽

What’s your drink of choice to beat the summer heat? Pre-pregnancy it was definitely rosé, but these days it’s lemonade and I did make a piña colada mocktail the other day! 🍹

Is there anything cuter than an adorable tiny flower girl with a floral crown?! 🌸Maybe a cute pup in the wedding? Well, they had that covered, too! 🐶

Surprise! 🎉 We’re pregnant! We’re so excited to share we will be welcoming a baby girl 🎀 at the end of October! 🎃 It’s been quite the experience going through a first pregnancy during a pandemic, but all I can hope for at the end is a healthy baby and that Marcus will be allowed in the delivery room with me. The first trimester was extremely difficult, I was incredibly sick coupled with dealing with the pandemic and navigating rescheduling all of our weddings. Luckily, the second trimester has been much kinder to me and we will soon be in the third! Time is flying by — need to get started on the nursery! 🧸
