Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Roshan and Ale took time out with their photographers, Procopio Photography, for a fabulous engagement session in DC. The theme of their August 7 wedding is ‘Love is Sweet’ and yes, candy will be incorporated throughout! For their wedding, Roshan & Ale along with their wedding planner, Alex Pare from Cherry Blossom Weddings & Events, chose the Andrew Mellon Auditorium and will be modernizing it a bit with a round bar, lounge furniture and hot pink and tangerine up lights – perfect for the such a festive occasion!

An Elegant Affair at the Hotel Monaco

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Alex from Cherry Blossom Weddings and Events had the pleasure of working with Jessica and Andrew on their wedding. Jessica and Andrew were married last year at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in DC with the reception following at the beautiful Hotel Monaco. The bride wanted an elegant,  fresh look and they created that by keeping things simple, yet beautiful with lots of orchids. To glamour things up a bit, the bride accompanied her dress with a fur shawl. The guests got their “dance on” all night to Fancy Pants and the groom shocked everyone when he showcased some splits on the dance floor! Thanks so much to Chris Balthazar for the amazing photos!
