Hannah & Clay’s Wedding!

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Katie Martin with Elegance & Simplicity and Nicole Wolf from Sota Dzine teamed up for Hannah and Clay’s wedding at the Carnegie Institution of Science.  A fantastic eco-friendly site as it is a multi-functional venue that gives back to the community and the Carnegie Institution for Science uses funds from its event rentals to help preserve and maintain the facility.

Elegance & Simplicity purchased the cherry blossoms from a local farmer and used the remaining flowers from Hannah and Clay’s floral designs from Holland - all pesticide free!

As you can see, you can have a green, rock star wedding in DC!

Local Green Garters for your Wedding!

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

I had the pleasure of being at the Julianne Smith Launch Party at Hello Cupcake last night!  Julianne has the most amazing, cute and sexy garters for your wedding day!  To top it all off - she is local (Washington, DC)!  We are going to start selling her garters in our office soon!  Check them out:

We were able to eat yummy cupcakes and check out the garters all at the same time!  I loved meeting Penny, the owner of Hello Cupcake, and eating a yummy carrot cake cupcake!  Aren’t Penny and Julianne cuties!  Cupcakes and garters - how could you go wrong????

Ivy Robinson came up from Charlotte for the event.  Ivy is our Charlotte Couture Wedding ConsortiumDirector and she has been featured several times on Whose Wedding is it Anyway? and on the new series Hitched or Ditched!  

 

I want to also send a quick thanks to Shannon from Sevan Photography for taking the photos and sending them to us so quickly!  We were truly excited to be invited to the event and one of our brides go to be among the exclusive “10 brides only” list to check out the garters and meet wedding professionals from around the area!  

Julianne’s motto:  ”Embrace the Garter Tradition, With Style!”

She is able to custom coordinate your colors with your garter!  Check out her website today!

More to come…
