All aboard! Grab your train ticket and your love of bridal style, because today, we’re headed to one of the hubs of Washington DC, Union Station, to feature high-fashion city chic wedding inspiration just for you! For these bridal portraits, the “bride” opted for an elegant and romantic hair style with dramatic eye make-up that’s flawless! The fall-feel to her lush and unique bouquet, complete with golden leaves and peach toned roses, made the bridal look that much more romantic, especially with the grand backdrop of the outdoor columns and archways at Union Station. Seeing these images makes it hard to imagine that Union Station is a bustling and busy train station right on Capitol Hill! Her wedding dress has delicate details of floral lace and a flowing skirt, perfect to dance the night away in! Her wedding day look is effortless, yet oh-so chic, befitting of a Washington DC city wedding in such a grand venue. A special thanks to DC area and destination wedding photographer Renee Hollingshead for sharing this city-chic bridal inspiration with us! What will you wear on your wedding day?

From Renee: Autumn in the northeast is a huge favorite for Washington DC residents. The weather is gorgeous, the fall trees are breathtaking, and the city is filled with so much charm. With only a few more warm days left for the year, we pulled together a team of Washington DC creatives for an incredible bridal inspiration. The famous Union Station was the centerpiece for the inspiration that pulled in all of the city-chic elements seamlessly together. From the generous, natural fall foliage in the bridal bouquet, to the pretty-messy undo hair style, to the incredible beaded bridal gown, this bridal portrait session screams “romance in the city” in the most elegant way possible. This is the perfect wedding inspiration for the modern-city bride!
