Emily + Thomas’s Classic Summer Wedding in Alexandria, Virginia!

Apr 14

Emily and Thomas’s wedding in Alexandria, Virginia was the perfect expression of timeless summer elegance, blending a classic blue and white palette with soft organic florals that felt both refined and effortlessly natural. Their day began with a beautiful Nuptial Mass at the Basilica of St. Mary in Old Town, where the historic beauty of the church set a deeply reverent and romantic tone. Following the ceremony, the wedding party made their way to the waterfront for portraits, capturing joyful, windswept moments along the Potomac that reflected the easy warmth of the day.

The celebration continued at the Army Navy Country Club, where guests gathered for cocktail hour on the terrace overlooking the sweeping DC skyline and the iconic Washington Monument. Inside, the reception space was filled with elegant details designed for an unforgettable evening of toasts, laughter, and dancing. A particularly meaningful highlight came from the bride’s father, a baker, who lovingly created two showstopping wedding cakes that became the centerpiece of the celebration. As the night unfolded, surprise fireworks lit up the sky—an unexpected gift from a military parade in the district—just as the live band kept the dance floor packed and the energy high well into the evening.
