A Picturesque DC Country Club Wedding for Ellen and Jack

A sweet celebration, a long time in the making...

A Highly-Anticipated Celebration

What an incredible and long-awaited celebration it was for high school sweethearts Ellen and Jack at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland! Because of the pandemic, we guided them through four date changes and a venue shift. By the time their celebration finally arrived, they were not only married but also expecting their first child! This made the day even more meaningful, evolving from a wedding into a beautiful celebration of their expanding family.

Seamless Collaboration, Enduring Love

To ensure a flawless event, we took the reins on orchestrating a seamless collaboration between both DC and Richmond-based vendors. This was no small feat, but meticulously coordinating every detail and connection allowed us to create a unified team. Because of this, Ellen and Jack were truly able to focus on what mattered most: their never-ending love for each other and soaking in every moment. That unwavering love inspired the sweetest day of celebration shared with their beloved family and friends.

A Vision of Timeless Elegance

Ellen and Jack envisioned their celebration as a timeless affair, where elegance met simplicity. They dreamed of an all-white theme, beautifully accented with neutral tones, creating an atmosphere of classic sophistication. At the heart of every floral arrangement was baby's breath, symbolizing not only purity and enduring love but also serving as a joyful tribute to their excitement about their first child. This delicate bloom perfectly encapsulated their journey into a new chapter, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to their unforgettable day.

Prioritizing the Guest Experience

For Ellen and Jack, they wanted their celebration to be more than just a wedding; it was a day to simply celebrate with loved ones. Their dedication to creating a relaxed, "easy breezy" atmosphere was evident in every detail. From the crisp, all-white decor to the thoughtful flow of the event, they made sure that everyone felt the love and joy that filled the air.
