The Hay-Adams, Washington, DC – Real Wedding for A & J (part 2)

We are back with more from A&J’s beautiful winter wedding that Bright Occasions helped to plan at The Hay-Adams Hotel. We love working at The Hay-Adams, their amazing food, service, and attention to detail are a few reasons that they are so highly regarded for events and weddings in the DC area. A&J were super sweet and also had great ideas and style, we loved working with them to bring their romantic vision to life. Their wedding reception included a super elegant design with hanging roses, flowers and candlelight throughout. If you are like us, and you love feminine details, lush flowers and pretty designs, then you’ll love this wedding. It was so wonderful to work with B Floral Event Design who carried out the floral decor so perfectly and Laura Luis Photography, who captured the celebration so perfectly. See part 1 from this wedding here and part 2 (plus the full vendor list) below.

If possible, we strongly suggest all couples get to see the event space all set-up before the wedding starts! You’ll love taking in all of the details you worked so hard on and having a moment to take everything in is so worth it!

A white house view and this dramatic display of hanging roses and votive candles was jaw dropping beautiful in person. B Floral Event Design was a wonderful partner to team with for this beautiful wedding.
