Featured in Issue 30, this charming styled elopement at the Larz Anderson House in Washington, D.C. brought readers into an intimate world of timeless love.
Designed and styled by Carrie Moe of Type A Society, she recounts each detail of the styled shoot, setting a dreamy scene for romance:
“Love, elegance, and historic charm came together in perfect harmony at the breathtaking Larz Anderson House in the heart of Washington, D.C.
Nestled amid the city’s bustling streets, this stunning mansion provided the idyllic backdrop for a wedding that will forever be etched in the memories of the happy couple and their guests.
For portraits, the couple decided on the breathtaking National Cathedral backdrop with an Anne Barge gown “Solana” that has a detachable train. The train filled the sun-drenched alcove and matched the grandeur from the framed window.
The reception was filled with blues, greens, and abundant florals with touches of browns and creams. As the guest ate the sun dipped below the skies and the reflection pool became mirrored glass. After drinks and dessert, the couple exited with flowers being thrown by happy guests.
What a delightful elopement it was!“
