Alex from Cherry Blossom Weddings had a fun time helping Carolina and James plan their special day at the Newseum. Luck was on the couple’s side as the gray skies opened up and the heat wave subsided for this stunning occasion. They could not have chosen a more perfect backdrop for the ceremony. The couple was declared ‘husband and wife’ on the balcony of the Newseum with the historic Capitol Building behind them. Following the ceremony, guests headed downstairs for some cocktails where they picked up their escort cards surrounding an ice sculpture of the Capitol Building! As guests entered the reception, they were able to grab some sweets from the all night night candy bar complete with a 5 foot replica of the Washington monument! After a delicious buffet dinner, guests packed the dance floor and danced the night away to the sounds of Raggs and the All Stars. Thank you to Freed Photography for the photos.

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. Thanks to Amy Deputy for these great photos and congratulations to Sara and Matt!

The stars were aligned for this June 5 wedding, as the rain held out and everything came together perfectly for the celebration of Liz and Chris’ wedding. Before the ceremony at St. Albans, the couple met up to take some time for pictures with friends and family in the lovely Bishop’s Garden between St. Albans and the National Cathedral. Then, after a quick cool down from the 90+ degree weather, they met at the altar to exchange vows in the historic church. After the ceremony, Guests were taken to the prestigious Cosmos Club, where they enjoyed a delicious meal and danced the night away. It was a pleasure for Chantal from Cherry Blossom Weddings & Events to get to help Liz and Chris plan their wedding and best wishes with the next chapter of your lives! A big thanks to Tony from Imijination Photography for these great photos!

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!

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!

After looking for a reception venue for several month, Kate and Matt fell in love with the Decatur House in Washington DC. They decided it would be a fabulous venue with being so close to the White House for their out of town guests. Dinner was in the tented courtyard and dancing was back inside the carriage house. The purple, green and cream color scheme gave a natural yet modern look to the historic venue.
Congratulations Matt & Kate!
