engaged! in washington: the st. regis hotel

It was truly a pleasure working along side some of DC’s top wedding professionals, as we all came together to transform 4 of Washinton’s finest wedding venues into inspirations galore for brides to be.

Here is a glimpse into the beautiful transformation that took place at The St. Regis

“Engaged! 2012 in Washington DC this year was a breathtaking experience of elegance and classic inspiration for any bride searching for her dream wedding. I could not have been more shocked and thrilled with the displays at the St. Regis. From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I could not believe the transformation that had taken place.   The hotels embodied every bride’s dream,  complete with pink roses, pearls, chandeliers, champagne and cupcakes by the dozen.  I could not take my eyes off the exquisite details of the flower arrangements, or elegant china place settings.  Moreover, I was met by the calm, smiling faces of DC’s best wedding professionals- all eager to assist me with my thoughts and concerns (and yes, even the crazy ideas) I had for my own wedding in June. 

 My day at Engaged! 2012 was a fun, inspirational experience that made me even more excited for my wedding, if that was possible! The delicate details in every venue, as well as the gentle attentiveness of all the vendors made for a magical experience for every bride there.”

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. “Pooh,” he whispered.

“Yes, Piglet?”

“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s paw, “I just wanted to be sure of you.”
