Mary & Trevor's Wedding in The Knot DC, MD, VA Magazine!

Great pictures of their amazing wedding at the Westin Grand in Summer '08.

BUT! The Knot left out their pugs from the spread! Poor girls :) Check their wedding out in the mag and HERE!

Summer Lovin'

The weather is nasty and I cannot wait for warmer weather to arrive. Here are a few details I love for summer weddings!

Fill these with ice and add bottled water.... or better yet Sofia Coppola's little cans of champagne (complete with pink straws!) www.themacbethcollection.com for buckets. You can monogram and customize them!

Surprise your guests with fun linens for the cocktail hour! The last linen makes me want to throw a party just so I can use it! :) linens from Party Rental Ltd

LelyCo Events The Knot Best of Weddings 2010 Pick

We are thrilled to be chosen for this award! Voted for by our amazing clients (thanks!!!) as one of the winners in the category for DC Wedding Planner.
