Say Yes to an Eco-Dress! Video editorial of Chris Kole’s new Fireflies collection for The Cotton Bride.

If you’re into dresses, fashion or anything Green, this is something you won’t want to miss!   Check out the newest organic gowns, as shown at Eco-Beautiful Weddings magazine’s anniversary party in DC a few weeks ago. I used my point-and-shoot camera in video mode, so please don’t judge the video quality as representative of one of our wedding films. 🙂  If it’s not playing for you, click on the HD icon in the upper right of the video.

Music for Processionals & Recessionals

Now that Dolce has filmed over a thousand weddings, I feel like I’m qualified to talk on wedding-related topics with some degree of authority.  The truth is, no matter how unique you’re hoping your wedding will be, there’s some constancy from one wedding to the next and we can graciously chalk that up to tradition.  Being a nostalgic kind of person, I love tradition!  But it’s also fun to be creative and to update tradition.  Along those lines, I have something to say about music for processionals and recessionals.  How about, instead of the ole’ standby (string quartet), you try out an acoustic guitar?  Check out this demo video to see if it strikes a chord with you:

A Dolce Real Wedding – Carolyn and John in DC

Carolyn and John were married at St. Augustine’s this past July.  Their reception was at the National Geographic Society and their coordinator was Kawania Wooten of Howerton Wooten Events.  I love the chalkboard signs for the guests to fill out and the cupcakes with the mini-cake on top.  I also love the song they chose for this montage: The Love of Your Life by Allison Sattinger.

A Dolce Real Wedding: Andrew & Clarisse’s May Wedding at The Red Fox Inn

For all you couples planning Spring weddings, here is a beautiful example of an outdoor wedding at a countryside Inn. Andrew & Clarisse chose our Little Black Dress package.   You can see it was a breezy day and their music selection really compliments the sound of the wind.  I love it!    To learn more about the Inn, click here:  The Red Fox Inn
