As the director of the DCGWC and the owner of Elegance & Simplicity, Inc., I am excited to bring you interesting eco-friendly and couture wedding concepts focusing on the DC Metro Area. I will do my best to post as often as I can to bring you eco-friendly tips, fabulous wedding design trends and photos from leading photographers around the country! Feel free to follow me on twitter (greenwed) as I post all day long from my blackberry!

I would love to meet as many Weddzilla followers as possible! I will be speaking at the DC Green Festival on October 10, 2009 at 1pm! Want a free pass to that? Pop me an email: katie at eleganceandsimplicity dot com!

One thing I would love to do is start by saying my goal is to post at least one photo every week from one of our weddings featuring interesting details. Here is one to start the blogging happiness off with!

One of my favorite weddings from this year comes from a couple that got married at the Ronald Reagan Building! Ameena & Jamie were some of the easiest clients I have ever worked with and they chose a dream team of event professionals. One of my favorite photos from this event centers around one of our newest additions to our inventory: our Eco-Wall. We used reclaimed wood to make panel boxes that can be covered by any color fabric to match the theme and color of your wedding. Use it for ceremony backdrops that can turn into the perfect photobooth backdrop after the ceremony. Look at how cute Ameena is!
