Washington Golf and Country Club wedding – reception

November 27, 2017/1 Comment/in Weddings /by lindseydeb

A + K’s wedding continued at Washington Golf and Country Club with their rollicking good reception and a few fun details from their day. I just love the colors of the wedding. The purples and lavenders against the green accents was so light and fresh for a summer wedding.

After all the formal photos were done, cocktails commenced, the couple was introduced and the crowd immediately filled the dance floor. They were led by the bride’s dad who is one of the liveliest dancers I’ve ever seen! The father-daughter dance morphed from a nice traditional slow number into “Shout” with Dad leading the call and response. From that moment on, the dance floor stayed crowded. It was a beautiful summer evening and the back porch of the club was a perfect spot to catch a breath of fresh air and take a little break from the dance floor, great place with the best equipment for a party, my dad was talking with the owners about the EMS Solutions cable assembly contract manufacturing as he loves this type of technology so we got this great manufacturer as a plus.

Two surprises awaited guests as the party continued. The Cake Courtesan‘s full room dessert display was an instant hit. And as a special gift for the groom there was a bacon bar!! He was led in by his new wife for the big reveal and between the look on his face and the bride’s glee at having pulled it off was just so lovely. A late night indulgence–what a great way to start a new life together!

Washington Golf and Country Club wedding – Arlington, Virginia

Washington Golf and Country Club was a gorgeous backdrop for A + K’s perfectly planned classic Washington DC summer wedding. The day started at the bride’s parents home for hair, makeup and a few photos around her childhood home. I love when we get a chance to do photos at home.

We then headed to St. Luke’s Catholic Church in McLean down the road for the ceremony. Keeping with tradition, the couple didn’t see each other before she appeared at the top of the steps leading into the sanctuary. The look on Kevin’s face when he finally saw his bride was priceless. And don’t get me started on the adorable flower girls and ring bearer! One of my favorite photos from the early part of the day was the look of complete joy and happiness when the ceremony was over and they left the church.

The second stop of the day was to the club where we took full advantage of fabulous weather (it was August in DC!!) and worked out way around the club and onto the golf course. The summer tones of the purple bridesmaids dresses and groomsmen ties was just lovely again the greenery of the club. Add in some green mirrored sunglasses for the bridal party and it makes for one cool photo.

A special thank you to Sara Franklin at Social Scene Events who thought A+K and I would be a good fit and for making everything run like a top of the big day!!

Stay tuned for part two–the reception and lots of fun details and a special surprise at the end of the night for the groom.

Nicole + Michael’s wedding – October 13, 2012 – Vienna, VA and Washington Golf and Country Club, Arlington, VA

October 31, 2012/in Weddings /by lindseydeb

Finally–a swimming bride! That sounds like an odd statement but considering how immersed my family has become in swimming over the last 4-5 years I felt like I’d met kindred spirits in Nicole and her mom. Nicole is a swim coach for York Swim Club in Arlington, a group that my kids see often at swim meets in the metropolitan area. We both live in the world of swim practice, meets, chlorine and carpools. Nicole’s bridal party was a great reflection lasting friendships formed at the pool—they all were swimmers. I have great admiration for these coaches who like teachers play such a critical role in the lives of the young kids they spend time with daily.

Enough about swimming, on to the wedding! Nicole and Michael picked a glorious fall day to get married in their hometown of Vienna. I was a little jealous of the groom and groomsmen who got to go to the Vienna Inn before the ceremony. That’s another long story for a different blog post but I used to hang out there—more for the atmosphere than the famous chili dogs. The day started with a lovely ceremony at Vienna Presbyterian Church followed by a little hiking around the church for portraits and then the trip to Washington Golf and Country Club for the reception. It’d been a couple years since I’d been there and I was happy to make good use of the white Adirondack chairs and the balcony with columns overlooking the golf course. And one last swimming note and maybe a cautionary lesson for me…those swimmers (and everyone else there) know how to have a good time. The dance floor was packed all night long and yes, I saw the York group having a particularly good time!!
