A Modern + Gorgeous Wedding at District Winery

The breathtaking modern details and elegant black and white neutral color palette of this modern wedding at District winery took our breath away. The moment Alexis and Jeff chose us for day of coordination for their exquisite District winery wedding, we couldn’t wait to return to one of our favorite DC wedding venues. If you are looking for day of coordination in Washington, DC, you should know we do things a little differently around here. From day one, we provide access to our preferred vendors and budget spreadsheets to offering a dedicated place for all those essential wedding documents – we’ve got you covered from the moment you reach out and save the date. For full details about how we offer a little extra (in all of our wedding planning packages), head here. Or reach out to chat with us directly!

A First Look + Wedding Portraits at the Kennedy Center

There is no shortage of incredible views in DC, but the Kennedy Center has to be one of our favorites, for both wedding day and engagement photos. The way Jeff looked at Alexis during their first look was PRICELESS. These photos have us seriously swooning. After an emotional first look, Alexis and Jeff took their stunning wedding portraits by the river and then against the backdrop of the Kennedy Center’s modern facade.

A wedding is never really complete without our fur babies, is it? Alexis and Jeff’s sweet dog made a cameo for their portraits! Peep that precious pink collar!

A moment for these white bridesmaid dresses! We love an all white wedding color palette and these ladies all looked phenomenal in floor-length white gowns for a modern twist.

Wedding Ceremony at District Winery

With floor-to-ceiling windows and an iconic view of the Anacostia river, it’s hard to imagine a more idyllic DC wedding venue. With two asymmetrical floral pillars anchoring the space, nobody in attendance could take their eyes off of Alexis and Jeff exchanging their vows. Everyone burst into applause after their first kiss and the newlyweds hands shot up in the air as they walked down the aisle as Mr. & Mrs!

Modern wedding details for their reception

We’ve alluded to the modern details we loved, and now we are showing the receipts. One of our favorite show stoppers was the larger than life white welcome sign that our bride Alexis handcrafted herself! Truly though, there was a lot to love about every corner of this wedding reception. With black taper candles, ikebana style centerpieces, and place cards embellished with a wax seal – we couldn’t get enough. On top of it all, we repurposed the gorgeous ceremony pillars to sit behind their sweetheart table.
