• NEW Wedding Ideas

In honor of the first official day of spring, which was Tuesday, we have a special treat for you. Courtesy of Katie Stoops Photography and Events in the city, along with quite a few other talented DC wedding professionals. Holly Heider Chapple created an absolutely breathtaking array of florals from an intricate headpiece, to a stunning bouquet, and of course the gorgeous centerpieces. The arrangements could not have been more perfect for this inspiration.
Inspired by the romantic idea of a girl from the country who finds love in Paris while going to college. It was only fitting that her wedding combined the two places she loves ... the rolling hills of Virginia tied with the chic elegance of Paris. Complete with a blush toned Monique Lhuillier dress and some to die for gold accents. You can see more gold and pink wedding ideas in the full gallery by clicking here.

We adore the simply elegant wedding stationery designed by Paperzest. It has such an elegant Parisian feel with a beautiful gold envelope liner and old world flourish accents. All the makings for a regal invite.  Absolutely gorgeous ... right?
