We're all so busy planning weddings with our cool clients that it takes some serious effort for the team to get together for a little fun. So it can be a while between team pictures. I love this photo from our recent dinner out at Restaurant Nora. Incredible food and lots of laugh!

Rustic Wedding Candy!
We've done plenty of candy bars in our day but I love this one (not ours) with the vintage cash register and the scale filled with taffy. So charming!

Lady {Bride} In Red!!
Here are a few sneak peek photos from my AMAZING wedding in May at the Four Seasons, Washington, DC. I absolutely adored this couple and their pups! I knew I was in love with this bride and her rock n' roll style wedding when she told me she was wearing red instead of the traditional white!!
Big thanks to Bill at Edge Flowers, Tina at the Four Seasons, and Susan of Susan Stripling Photography! More photos and vendors to come!
xoxo,
Amanda

Classic Courthouse Ceremony {Morgan & Jonathan}
There is something so classic about a couple getting married a judge's chambers with the bride in a white suit. Of course, when the court is the Supreme Court and the judge is Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, you know the wedding is something serious. Just a sneak peek from Amanda's glamorous wedding at the Supreme Court and Four Seasons. More to come!

Bride's Head Revisited!
Bride’sHead Revisited has just debuted their Fall 2013 collection. The highlights
include three stunning veils inspired by fashion plates of Austrian designer
Max Snischek during the 1920’s, and a photo of the designer’s grandparents on
their wedding day from 1934.
"I have always been inspired by fashion
history and the exquisite techniques of haute couture. From the sleek
styles of the late 1950’s/60’s portrayed in Mad Men to the
decorative elegance on display in The Great Gatsby, these disparate
styles are having a major moment in fashion right now. We can
definitely expect to see a strong 20's and 30's influence within the
bridal world for fall and winter,” says Emily.
Florence Veil: Waltz length dropped veil with chantilly lace edge
Bella Veil: Chapel length veil of chantilly lace, tulle, and silk ribbon
Maisie Veil: Caged veil of antique blue netting
About Bride’s Head
Revisited: Over the past ten years, Bride’s Head Revisited designs have
earned a reputation for fine quality and craftsmanship over their years. To create their unique synthesis of classic style and a fresh,
modern look, designer Emily Martin combines a love of contemporary design with her background in art and costume
history at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York,
New York.
Bride’s Head Revisited will happily customize any length or
style, and all of their veils can be accented with lace, crystals, ribbon, or a
custom trim that complements your gown. Every veil is
hand sewn and beautifully finished using the finest quality fabrics and trims
including Swarovski crystals, silk ribbon and hand-appliquéd lace. One thing
that remains constant in all of their designs is the quality and care that they
devote to each piece.
D.C. brides can find these lovely veils at Hitched!

Bridal Meditation {Get Your Zen On}
Here's something that falls into the category of "Why aren't there more of these?" or "Why didn't someone think of this sooner?"-- a mediation CD for brides!
Cornelia Powell, a bridal historian and wedding entrepreneur, created OPEN YOUR HEART Meditations for Brides to bring a relaxing introspection into a bride’s life during the dizzying swirl of planning a wedding. Listening to the calming CD is a little refreshment of ease for "on the verge" brides, "Zen" brides, and everyone in-between!
Bring on the Om!
