Just a few things the Engaging Affairs team loves!

Miami Heat {Michelle and Kramer}

Make no mistake, Michelle and Kramer were kismet from day one.  In a whirlwind romance, the two fell in love and planned a serious celebration in less than a year so they wouldn't miss a second starting their lives together.

Our team headed south on Wednesday to start wedding preparations and in hopes to stave off Superstorm Sandy.  Luckily for our beautiful bride, the rains just dampered any sun we had hoped to get in the days before the festivities began and by Friday night's welcome reception guests were enjoying the sounds of steel drum under the stars.

Saturday morning brought a sun and calm that had been missing all week.  The beauties got dolled up while sitting in front of the most picturesque view of the ocean.

Our anxious bride and groom didn't let a windy beach keeping them from a photo session and exchange of feeling that brought about incredible emotion.

The sunset ceremony was perfect timing as the wind finally died down.

Following a cocktail reception in the property's Cabana Court, the celebration really began.  Greg Denard of the Greg Denard Orchestra brought the house all the way down until the Springsteen cover band took over.

Thank you to the team at St. Regis Bal Harbour, Tony Gajate Photography, Cabana Pictures, Dalsimer Atlas Floral and Sincerely Yours.

Engaged Inspiration {Fox Ventures}!

For this year's Engaged in Washington show, we were excited to partner with Fox Ventures at The St Regis DC. We love the amazing things that Fox can do with plexi and we are obsessed with their twinkle dance floor.

We also featured their fun "dessert cube" which we used to display the cold hors d'oeuvres.

Fox also created some custom plexi pieces just for us so stay tuned for photos of those and of our fun space!

See You at Engaged!

Hope to see you this Sunday at The St. Regis for a lovely afternoon of sweet nibbles, smooth sounds and visual delights!

A Toast to the Couple! {Kate + Sean}

Kate and Sean got married on a perfect day in September and she was one of the most gracious brides. 

The story, as told by one of my past brides and a bridesmaid of Kate's was that she, Elise, set Kate and Sean up.

I absolutely loved the elegance of her bouquet.  The combination of dusty miller with the more traditional roses and mini calla lilies and popular orchids gave the combination a delicate feel.  Edge Floral hit a home run with this one.

The ceremony and reception was at the Stephen Decatur House on the corner of Lafayette Park and the White House.






Kate and Sean had a friend ordained to marry them in a most personal ceremony.

Food and wine were very important aspects of their celebration.  Sarah Gallo of Design Cuisine did a fantastic job and wine was suppled by Screwtop wine and cheese bar in Arlington where Kate and Sean frequent and are club members. 

During cocktails the tent was transformed from the ceremony space into a youthful but classic dining room while still keeping with the feel of the garden courtyard.

Thank you to K Thompson Photography for capturing this special day!
