After breakfast this past Sunday we stopped by the National Arboretum. We hadn't planned on it but we were in the neighborhood and the sky was so blue and the sun was shining and why not? I'm ashamed to admit that sometimes I forget about the Arboretum which I'm promising to never do again. It is a true treasure in the city and if you haven't been there yet or lately please do yourself a favor and GO! Right now the magnolia trees, forsythia and other flowering trees are in full bloom. The spring bulbs like daffodils, crocus and hyacinth add bright colors throughout the park. And in the Asian Collection the camellias are starting to show color and the hellebores are hanging their beautiful heads above the ground. I could've stayed all day but it was naptime for the kiddo... Until the next time please enjoy a few photos from our fun family outing!
fragrant spring wedding
I had so much fun choosing the photos for my website mostly because I got to take a trip down memory lane with each one. I keep finding new photos and remembering past clients so over the next few months I'm going to share some of my favorites with you.
In April of 2012 I had the pleasure of working with the lovely Susannah Dyer for her wedding at St. Peter's on Capitol Hill and Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill. She was a pleasure to work with because she had ideas of what she wanted her flowers to look like and smell like :) but mainly because she trusted my vision and let me run with it.
Red roses were the highlight of the bridal party flowers with a hint of genestra to add fragrance. The reception was a sweet palette of red roses, pink tulips and pink peonies, purple hyacinth and purple hydrangea along with genestra and cherry blossoms and fragrance, fragrance, fragrance!
Enjoy the photos by the talented Heather Elizabeth Photography!
