Elizabeth from Cherry Blossom Weddings & Events had a wonderful time helping plan Sofia and Afzalul’s traditional Hindu wedding in which every detail was colorful and joyous! The wedding began with the baraat, in which Afzalul’s family escorted him to the ceremony at the Westin Grand Hotel through the streets of DC. Once the groom arrived, a sitar and tabla played in the background as Sofia was escorted down the aisle by her parents. After the ceremony, the couple changed into their reception attire and headed to the ballroom, where amber lights shone and tons of red orchids sweetly scented the room. After a delicious buffet from Rangoli Restaurant and a gorgeous cake designed by Fancy Cakes by Leslie, the party got started! The guests packed the dance floor and the party lasted until the very end. Congratulations to a very sweet and happy couple, Sofia and Afzalul! Thanks to Eli from Freed Photography who was kind enough to share the beautiful images.

Chantal from Cherry Blossom Weddings and Events had the pleasure of working with Kristin and Brent on their April 17th wedding where cherry blossoms were featured across town at the Walker Chapel United Methodist Church and the Washington Golf Country Club. The bride was beaming and the groom was overwhelmed with joy as they said their “I Do’s” and then headed over to the country club for some tasty food, amazing views of the city and a packed dance floor. The groom’s idea of tall cherry blossom branches added to the decor nicely and the color coordinated candy bar was another big hit! Thanks to Maria Vicencio for the great photos and a big congratulations to Kristin and Brent!
