On January 31, 2009 I attended the {DC Couture Wedding Consortium’s} inaugural Couture Bridal Show at the {Stephen Decatur House}. Katie Martin owner of {Elegance & Simplicity} is the founder of the DCCWC. The upscale event featured various members of the consortium, including {Promise…for the Savvy Bride}. Jessica Fox co-owner of Promise dressed all of the models for the fashion show. Models were dressed in {Lea-Ann Belter}, {Claire Pettibone}, {Elizabeth Fillmore} and {L’ezu Atelier}. Each of the bouquets carried by the models were designed by Elegance & Simplicity.
The show began with a special networking hour for area wedding vendors and media. Just before noon brides-to-be and their guests began arriving. The buzz of the day was the 3:30PM Green Wedding Giveaway drawing. Throughout the day I was able to chat with several brides-to-be. Many of them were hopeful they would be the lucky winner of the DC Green Wedding Consortium’s 50K big giveaway. Brides-to-be enjoyed delicious cupcakes from {Cakes by Design} and delectable appetizers from {Avalon Caterers}.
By 3:29PM everyone was clamoring in anticipation of the big announcement! Katie Martin did the honors of announcing the big winners…Dana Dunne & David Jea!
Dana was the first bride-to-be to arrive at the show. Her best friend accompanied her. I left before David arrived, but I was able to congratulate Dana and warn her she’d be seeing a whole lot of me over the next 2.5 months!
