My Wedding in a Week!

Bonjour lovelies!

Today I wanted to share with you my fabulous experience as the wedding planner for the MIX 107.3 and Washington Bridal Showcase My Wedding in a Week presented by Wedding Wire.

I was asked to do this wedding back in December, and was not sure what to expect at first.  I mean, a wedding – in a week? The whole point of my profession is preventing people from waiting until the last minute to do things! After I got past the backwards thinking, I really had a lot of fun.

The wedding was held on January 27, 2012 at the Mt. Vernon Restaurant Inn in Alexandria, VA. The vendors I worked with were flexible, professional and  easy to work with.

Here’s a list of all the vendors I worked with:

SpringHill Suites Alexandria Tech Center Guest Accommodations Website	Capital Party Rentals Linens/Tent Website	Washington’s Best Reception Music Website

Say I Do Your Way Officiant Website	Lollipop Chef Favors Website	Up Dos For I Dos Hair Website
All Seasons Floral Preservation Flower Preservation Website	Creations By Diane Jewelry for the Bride Website	Paper Talk Announcements / Invitations Website

This was different than most weddings I’ve done because the turn around was so quick and the planning time was so intense. After it was all said and done it was a fabulous day and everything came together beautifully. Heather and Gary were a super sweet couple and the radio station as well as the Washington Bridal Showcase people were so kind and helpful. I have included a slideshow of photos for you below.
