Brett and Matt were married on a summery August day at Clarendon Ballroom. Their vendor team transformed the Arlington night club into a twinkling romantic paradise for these two! Brett and Matt began their day in DC at neighboring hotels The Willard and the JW Marriott. They then joined together for photos at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial and boy was it a scorcher! Their Clarendon Ballroom wedding day peaked at 90 degrees. Despite this, the bridal party looked so amazingly cool and composed in all of the stunning bridal portraits by Birds of a Feather Photography!

For this Virginia wedding ceremony, the ballroom was transformed into a modern escape with tall white, pink and luscious green arrangements from Love Blooms. Afterward, guests mingled along the expansive bar sipping on the couples wedding signature cocktails, Brett’s Sparkling Bride and Matt’s Old Fashioned. Each was paired with fun small appetizers. These included individual Chinese carryout boxes filled with Red Chili Chicken and Fried Mac N Cheese bites. We love that the ballroom was flipped to create a romantic all white and green oasis. The various rounds and 30 person king’s table in the center were covered in lush arrangements, both high and low, and featured candles galore. The night ended with dancing, a late night cookie bar, and a bubble send-off. We think these did a fantastic job capping their epic Clarendon Ballroom wedding. Thank you to Simply Breathe Events for sharing this special day with us today!
