We are off to a great start this week with todays classic DC DAR wedding by Bellwether Events! Brooke and Michael were married last fall at the popular DC wedding venue. One cool fact about DAR is that it is often used in political movies and TV shows like the West Wing as a stand in for its close resemblance to the White House! How awesome if that? Another great aspect of this wedding venue is the abundance of pretty architecture and the O’Byrne Gallery was the perfect backdrop to an indoor intimate ceremony.

Even a rainy afternoon couldn’t dampen the spirits of this party! Thankfully the clouds parted during their cocktail hour and they were able to have dancing outside under the stunning Portico outside. To go alongside the timeless nature of their venue, the couple worked with their DC wedding planner to create a classic floral design and to weave in DC inspired elements throughout. This included sketches of former Presidents for each table name and DC treats like District Donut favors. Thank you to Bellwether Events and Matt Mendelsohn for sharing this lovely DAR wedding with us today!
