We had the great pleasure of working with Shelley and Bill in March. Shelley hired us for full planning for their wedding held at Sidney Harman Hall in Washington, D.C. Their big day was a city inspired wedding featuring colors of orange, pink, and purple. Shelley took the time to write a review about us and her day, and here’s a little of what she said:
“[Alex] is extremely organized and so knowledgeable of the DC event planning and wedding scene. From day one she started organizing our timeline and setting up appointments with venues. She did a phenomenal job of finding choices of vendors in our price range who would fit well with the type of wedding we were having. We took her recommendations for the majority of our vendors and we were so pleased with every choice. She knew exactly who would fit with our personalities and they all provided phenomenal service.” “ I would recommend Alex and Cherry Blossom Events to anyone looking for a wedding planner.”

Pops of navy, red and champagne accented their classic downtown DC wedding this March at the St. Regis Hotel. Making their celebration a family affair, Desiree & Donnie were married by her Uncle and had their immediate family members toast them with a unique and special “Wine Ceremony.” Throughout the planning process and wedding day, it was evident how much Desiree & Donnie truly love each other and enjoy making each other happy. Before the ceremony, the Groom surprised his Bride with a gorgeous diamond bracelet and sincere note.
Desiree wore sparkling blue wedding shoes and changed from her traditional veil into a birdcage veil with a pop of red for the reception. Their specially made cake topper was a “bobble head” depicting Desiree & Donnie on their wedding day. Guests enjoyed artfully displayed miniature desserts, late night snacks and specialty beverages from the Cordial Bar. The blue up-lit lounge area under the enclosed tent provided a relaxing respite from the dance floor. Cheers to the happy couple, Desiree & Donnie. A special “thank you” to their Photographer, Josh Gooden.
Thanks to our event desinger, Alexandra Strawn for coordinating this beautiful wedding! Check back, we’ll have more real weddings very soon!

We wanted to showcase a modern table but we love color and especially with Spring here, we were inspired to do this table scape outside with natural elements. We saw a fabulous modern white rectangle table with silver hardware which we had immediately fallen in love with. We started with that and thought about colors. With the green from the grass, we wanted something that would compliment but also contract and pop against the white. Purple can be done in so many ways…. soft, striking, elegant ….so this is where we went with the color for the table! What do you think? Thanks to Eli Turner for the photos!
Update: Style Me Pretty’s Little Black Book features this on their blog! Check it out!
And we had to include this shot! Jaxon came to the shoot with us but didn’t seem to care much! Awww, good doggie!
We hope you enjoyed our inspiration shoot!

Christel and David were married in March at the amazingly modern Hotel Monaco DC, and they certainly added their own personal touches to the wedding. After a morning ceremony at the Mormon Temple in Kensington, they had another exchange of vows and ring ceremony in the evening for all their friends and family to witness, before letting loose and dancing the night away. Christel’s french background was on display with their amazing croquembouche dessert, the traditional French pastry, and two types of Jordan almonds flown in specially. The bride’s brother also created the most amazing (and heavy!) bouquet made of brooches- it was beautiful and certainly unique. With a lighting change between the ceremony and the reception, the room looked amazing and all the guests had a great time. Huge thanks to Jennifer of Ego Media Photography for these stunning photos. We wish Christel and David all the best, they are an amazing couple and we are so happy for them!
