anna hearts peter

I was so excited when I discovered that Valentine's Day was on a Saturday this year! What a perfectly romantic day for a wedding. Anna was referred to me by previous clients, Liz and Chris (thanks so much you two- I miss you guys!), and we immediately hit it off! And so the planning began...

Anna and Peter were married at Nativity Lutheran Church in Alexandria and the reception followed at the swanky Hotel Monaco in Old Town. Anna, her mother and I had such a ball bringing the wedding day vision to life! The day was filled with such love and it's completely apparent in the gorgeous photos taken by flutterphoto. The food and cocktails were delish and guests loved the photo booth (the hit of the party). The amazing Kendall made not one, but three (!!!) cakes. Talk. About. Yum. The wedding cake resembled Anna's fabulous gown with rooshing and soft flowers, while the groom's cake was designed around airplanes... Anna and Peter do a ton of flying! The birthday cake for Anna's mother was a fun surprise at the end of the evening. I haven't stopped smiling since starting this post :) Such a wonderful day and I am so grateful to have been a part of it all. Congrats, Anna and Peter!

ps- had to include the photo of Anna's rosette clutch- love it!
