Fall Wedding: Hotel Monaco DC

This fall Hotel Monaco wedding in Washington DC is so classic and colorful, I love it! Laura and Jesse are such a beautiful couple, both on the inside and outside! To this day I love following along with their rescue dogs’ adventures on Instagram. Laura and her delightful mom Terry planned a gorgeous November wedding at this classic hotel, with so many fun elements. From the towering flowers to the towering cake, not a detail was overlooked. I think Jesse’s favorite part of the planning was taste testing every macaron in the city – they settled on Olivia, by the way. My favorite part was the last dance – can you guess? Of course it was Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield! (He played a show in Rockville a number of years ago and I totally touched his hand!)

You can see more of my work at the Hotel Monaco with this wedding ceremony and ballroom reception.
