Jean + Joon’s Westfields Pink & Gray Winter Wedding

Today I want to share a sneak peek of Jean and Joon’s wedding at  Westfields Marriott  in Chantilly Virginia, on January 14th. With our design based on a blush and wood inspired winter wedding (shown here) we loved how it came together and can’t wait to share all the small details.

Gloria + Joseph – Sneak Peek!

Do you remember our moss and navy inspiration board from a few months ago?  We created that board for Gloria and Joseph’s wedding at the newly renovated Airlie Center back in September.  When Julie Renee sent over some of these images I was particularly excited, not just because we planned and styled this wedding during their 2-month engagement, but because Gloria is now one of my dear friends.  Yes, you can totally be friends with your brides!  Here’s a little sneak peek – don’t you love those florals?  Morgan from Petals & Hedges did a mighty fine job.
