If ever a wedding expressed classic elegance, it would be this one. With a great vendor team, gorgeous photographs by Kate Grace Photography, and a beautiful historic venue, how could you possibly go wrong with a DACOR Bacon House wedding? Weather is always unpredictable, and you never know what spring in DC will bring. The day can easily be cool and rainy or full of sunshine and a light breeze. Kirsten and Christopher really lucked out with a perfect spring day. We were honored to play a role in making their DACOR Bacon House wedding day picture perfect.

Located at 1801 F St., NW in Washington, DC, the DACOR Bacon House is one of the few remaining examples of Federal period residential architecture that remains in the neighborhood of the White House. Formerly known as the Ringgold Carroll House, it was adapted from a historic home to a private club and office space for the Diplomatic and Consular Officers, Retired (DACOR) and the DACOR-Bacon House Foundation, which was established to provide in perpetuity a venue for statesmanship and international dialogue. The four story Georgian mansion has a history of weddings, having hosted President and Mrs. Lincoln as guests for the nuptials of Miss Sally Carroll and Captain Charles Griffin.

Kirsten and Christopher’s aesthetic was classic, elegant and timeless. Each element flowed together seamlessly for their DACOR Bacon House wedding, from bouquets to lush ceremony altar arrangements to the reception. The bouquet featured garden roses and ranunculus in shades of white and cream with pops of light blue tweedia, green hellebores and touches of magnolia and Italian ruscus. While cocktail hour frequently take a backseat for the day, a stunning gold set of shelves welcomes guests to the outdoor area, along with an elegant design of white cherry blossom branches.

Inside of the ballroom, centerpieces in gold compotes were overflowing with garden roses, hydrangea, ranunculus, spray roses, hellebores, magnolia and eucalyptus. Votives provided a touch of candlelight. Completing the table, a sprig of Italian ruscus completed each place setting.

Congratulations to Kirsten and Christopher on your DACOR Bacon House wedding. We wish you a lifetime full of happiness together!

What goes up, must come down. Our team spent a solid week of getting up on ladders, hanging wreaths, fluffing garland, and placing oversized bows to get nine local restaurants holiday ready… and now it ends. Every garland gets boxed and labeled. Every ornament tucked back in its place and each wreath finding a new home - until next year. It seems almost sad to put away the holiday decor, but ready for the next bit of sparkle & shine!

Do you recognize any of the places we added a touch of holiday magic? Sound off below!
