9. As guests walked into cocktail hour, they were handed glasses of champagne with a floating edible monogram, a K & N. I’ve never seen something like that! It was such an unexpected, delightful touch to their classic and elegant wedding!
10. We also made some time during cocktail hour to sneak out for urban golden hour portraits along the street with the Washington Monument in the distance as they crossed the street. But first, photos in the Owl Bar and gold-trimmed elevators: textured, gilded and full of sneaky smooches! It was so fun with Kylie & Nate being so relaxed, enjoying the start of married life in a carefree and effortless way! We had to also get a night shot out of the second floor window, of course!
11. Since the ceremony and reception were both held in the Grand Ballroom at the Belvedere, all of the ceremony flowers and greenery were repurposed to frame the stage where the band, Spectrum from Washington Talent, performed and kept the dance floor rocking all night. The white drape and twinkle lights behind the band created a soft and romantic atmosphere… I loved this idea as a way to make the band backdrop purposeful, well-designed and integrated into the overall vibe of their day!
