Last night I attended a fabulous party for vendors in the wedding industry hosted annually for the past 3 years by the loveliest trio: Laura Weatherly of Engaging Affairs, Jamie Sears of Simply Chic Events and Pam Barefoot of A Trendy Wedding. As we have come to expect, they chose a hot nightspot for the crowd and the drinks included a pink Buddhatini in reference to the theme of the locale: Lotus Lounge. The place was bedecked in beautiful hot pink flowers and the menu of treats included strawberry milk with heart-shaped sugar cookies and mini ice cream cones with strawberry ice cream. I was definitely in the pink, with plenty of familiar faces to reconnect with outside of the busy environs of a wedding shoot. Everyone whose work represents the best of what our city has
to offer brides was there. It was especially nice to reconnect with make-up artist Kim Giammaria (whose son just left for West Point), photographer Michael Bonfigli (who had just finished a 40 mile cycle before the party) and photographer Andrea Jacobson (who is balancing 2 sweet loves in her life right now: cupcakes and her boyfriend of one year!). I also had the chance to chat with coordinator Terri Eaves of Bash and to hear all about the wonderful trip to Ireland she’ll be taking in the next few weeks together with the ladies from Engaged! Magazine and a host of DC coordinators. Have a blast ladies! No river dancing themed weddings once you get back, please!
