Cue the confetti! It’s time to celebrate the best wedding professionals in Washington—those who embody love not only in their chosen careers but also in every wedding they bring to life. This extensive list is an essential resource for planning your big day, from finding the perfect venue to hiring your dream photographer. Industry pros and newlyweds determine the finalists through a monthlong voting process, culminating in the unveiling of the winners at our annual gala event—and right here in this issue (applause, applause!).
This issue—from start to finish—is just breathtakingly beautiful and packed with the kind of creativity Washington is known for, see inspired designs to whimsical wildflowers. Italophiles—or anyone who loves to travel—will be enamored with our editorial “Capri Style,” which is brimming with juicy colors and decadent details. It was the perfect day: the sun was shining, and we got to work alongside Juliet + Lou’s Elsa Walker and photographer Jenn Tai. Plus, we’ve curated the chicest color palettes, must-have beauty products, and the best ways to add a personal touch to your wedding day. Don’t miss our Real Weddings section, filled with authentic love stories and stunning inspiration for your own celebration.
And so, I raise a Champagne coupe to your big day.
May you dream a little dream…into reality.
