Elegance received a modern twist in Ashley and Javier’s Corcoran Gallery of Art wedding<\/a>. The couple’s unique venue selection was filled with stunning blush, yellow, and soft grey décor designed by Belle Notte<\/a>. We love that Ashley and Javier even said “I do”on the marble steps of the gallery!<\/p>\n The Couple:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Ashley and Javier<\/p>\n The Wedding:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Corcoran Gallery of Art<\/a>, Washington D.C.<\/p>\n The Inspiration:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Our inspiration for the décor was classic romantic and elegant with a modern twist. The blush, pale yellow and soft grey floral arrangements gave us the perfect romantic atmosphere. The Corcoran Gallery of Art’s grand columns and marble staircase created the elegant feel and the fun décor — tulle table clothes mixed with mirrored table tops—gave the venue a perfect twist of modern.<\/em><\/p>\n As for wedding day fashion, I knew my dress would have to be as grand as our venue. The blush tone of my wedding dress and tulle skirt ended up being a big inspiration for the décor.<\/em><\/p>\n The Moments:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Our favorite moment from the wedding was the ceremony. Our ceremony was personal, unique and incredibly emotional. Most married couples say the evening was a blur, and while some of it was, we can clearly remember every moment of our ceremony. I hung on every word and every happy tear we shed. Declaring our love and commitment to each other in front of our closest family members and friends meant everything to us. Looking out at our loved ones, seeing them share our joy and excitement was beautiful.<\/em><\/p>\n The Couple Recommends:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Our wedding planner, Sara Bauleke of Bella Notte, was a delight to work with. We put our full faith in Sara and she did not disappoint. She helped us realize our grand vision and made our wedding day truly stunning and unique. There was no task that Sara was not willing to take on with a smile and a can-do attitude. Thank you, Sara!<\/em><\/p>\n Javier<\/span> and I immediately fell in love with our photographer Michelle’s sweet, caring personality, and also with her talented and exceptional portfolio. Michelle bent over backwards to make sure we were satisfied customers!<\/em><\/p>\n Unfortunately, on the morning of my wedding I wasn’t feeling well, so we did not end up getting all the beauty shots of me and my bridesmaids that I wanted; however, Michelle assured me that she got several great pictures, and offered to retake photos at a later date. Her willingness to accommodate me put my nerves at rest on a very emotional morning. Michelle, you truly are the best!<\/em><\/p>\n The Wedding Team:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Photography – Michelle Lindsay Photography<\/a> A special thanks to Bella Notte<\/a> for sharing Ashley and Javier’s classic modern wedding with Junebug!
