Monday, August 30th, 2010

Alex from Cherry Blossom Weddings & Events had the joy of helping Matt & Sara make their special day a huge success. The couple was declared husband and wife on May 15, 2010 in one of the most pristine places in Washington, DC. And although the National Cathedral was open to the public, the ceremony was packed with 160 guests making it feel quite intimate. The guests continued on to the National Museum of Women in the Arts for the reception while the bridal party took advantage of the gorgeous weather and went to the Lincoln Monument for some photos. After a delicious dinner catered by Ridgewells, the guests danced the night away to Retrospect. At the evenings end, the bride and groom left in a classic Rolls Royce.

Sofia & Afzalul - Westin Grand Hotel

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

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.

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!
