Elegant Washington DC Wedding at Top of the Town

December 15, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Elegant-Washington-DC-Wedding-at-Top-of-the-Town-Justin-Kunimoto-Photography-16

Inspired by the notable skyline of Washington DC, Rebecca and Steve planned an elegant wedding at Top of the Town. The bride looked romantic as could be in her embellished gown from White Swan Bridal. The entire day was filled with beautiful moments, but none sweeter than Rebecca and Steve’s emotional first look. Justin Kunimoto Photography captured Steve’s teary-eyed awe as his bride approached, making for one of our first looks of all time.

The Couple:

Rebecca and Steve

The Wedding:

Top of the Town, Washington DC

My absolute favorite moment was the First Look before the ceremony. We had our first look shoot outside our hotel (The Graham Hotel in Georgetown), and choosing to see each other before the ceremony was the best decision we made. It allowed us to have a few minutes to ourselves, let the moment sink in, and get the jitters and tears out of the way! I’ll never forget the look on Steve‘s face when we saw each other for the first time, and it’s my favorite moment of the entire day.

For attire, I was going for a more romantic look; I wanted my dress to be a bit glam and dramatic. My bridesmaids chose their own dresses, shoes and accessories within the color palette of neutrals, blush, and metallics. Steve went for a modern, clean, streamlined look with his and his groomsmen’s attire.

Our theme was inspired by the city we’re from. We’re from the DC area and love our city, so we wanted the city skyline to be the focal point of the evening. We selected a rooftop venue with floor to ceiling windows and a rooftop balcony so that the DC skyline would be in the backdrop of the ceremony and reception. We wanted it to feel like an intimate dinner with family and friends.

Not wanting an overly formal event, Ioana and Jonathan filled their downtown Raleigh wedding with personal touches and focused each moment on celebrating their love. The couple decided to get dressed together, making for some incredibly sweet portraits by All Bliss Photography who really captured the excitement of the day. Ioana’s custom two-piece gown fit her like a dream and allowed her to move, dance, and explore downtown with Jonathan on their wedding day.

Jonathan and I getting ready together that day was amazing. Being with one another was reassuring and less stressful. We planned everything together, so we couldn’t imagine not getting ready together. It was the only time we had to ourselves on the wedding day / weekend.

We didn’t want our wedding to feel like a formal event. We wanted to have a party in a warm and inviting atmosphere with great food and dancing that our guests would enjoy. We kept things casual by having a family-style dinner. Both our ceremony and reception were held in historical venues in downtown Raleigh. We didn’t see a need to overly decorate or overdo a certain trend or theme. Hopefully when we look back at the photos years from now, it will still feel classic, sophisticated, and timeless.

My dress was simple and non-traditional. I had it altered to add a crop top over it so that it became a two-piece. I knew that an ornate or embellished look would not be me and I wouldn’t feel comfortable in it. Later in the evening I changed into an ivory top and tulle skirt so I could dance the night away.
