very excited &ldquo;Parisian glamour,&rdquo; &ldquo;bold contrasts,&rdquo; and &ldquo;candlelight and mirrors&rdquo;. Since the ceremony and reception would be in the same space, it was important to Dianna to create a dramatic transformation for her guests. Playing with contrasts became an exciting thread throughout the design. The resulting combination of bold black and white stripes, custom-designed mirror elements, faux croc chargers, masses of candlelight, over sized vases, linear floral designs and soft, romantically lit draping, struck the perfect note.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><b>The Wedding Team:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Photographer: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eliturner.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Eli Turner Photography<\/a><br>\nEvent Planner: <a href=\"http:\/\/elizabethduncanevents.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Elizabeth Duncan Events<\/a><br>\nCeremony &amp; Reception Venue: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wwashingtondc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The W Hotel<\/a><br>\nFlorist: <a href=\"http:\/\/amaryllisdesigns.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Amaryllis Floral Event &amp; Design<\/a><br>\nCake: <a href=\"http:\/\/fluffythoughts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fluffy Thoughts<\/a><br>\nWedding Dress: <a target=\"_blank\">Oscar de la Renta<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebridalsalonatsaksjandel.com\/%20\" target=\"_blank\">The Bridal Salon at Saks Jandel<\/a><br>\nBridal Accessories: <a href=\"http:\/\/us.jimmychoo.com\/on\/demandware.store\/Sites-jchus-Site\/en_US\/Default-Start?geoip=geoip\" target=\"_blank\">Jimmy Choo<\/a><br>\nBridesmaids&rsquo; Apparel &amp; Accessories: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcbg.com\" target=\"_blank\">BCBG<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/nadrijewelry.com\/#&amp;panel1-1\" target=\"_blank\">Nadri<\/a><br>\nHair Stylist: Akilah Bradshaw<br>\nMakeup Artist: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facesbyliz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Faces by Liz<\/a><br>\nDJ: DJ Premonition of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scratchweddings.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Scratch Weddings<\/a><br>\nLive Music: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.potomacjazz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Potomac Jazz Project<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/chesapeakestrings\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chesapeake Strings<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thank you to Dianna and Mark for sharing your glamorous day.
