Washington Bridal Showcase

/
This past weekend Tricia and I went to the Washington Bridal Showcase to meet some of DC's newest brides. The Bridal Showcase always seems to blow my mind. From wedding planners like us, to dove releases, to carriage rentals, to home insurance, every type of vendor is there.

Our good friend Morgan of Petals and Hedges donated some beautiful floral arrangements to help bring a pop of color to our booth. Her designs are always out of this world! We love working with her and thinks everyone else should too ;) We also brought in a couple of our rental pieces to finish off the look, and believe it to be our best design yet.

We had so much fun meeting new clients and meeting new vendors. Below are a few pictures of our space!

AVE has been rocking and rolling like crazy this year. We finally got around to adding some of our 2012 weddings to our website and thought we'd share a couple of our favorite pictures from that year on the blog!

AVE's newest rentals!

This past weekend St. John's Episcopal Church, in the heart of Georgetown, was getting ready to dump two antique church pews. I love anything old, and especially old things out of a church! Ours need a little TLC before I post pictures ;) Pews are all the rage for outdoor ceremonies and I totally dig them too!
