There’s something effortlessly romantic about a wedding at the St. Regis Washington, DC - where historic charm meets modern elegance in the heart of the city. For Molly & Luke, it was the perfect setting for a wedding that was both timeless and deeply personal. From their greenery-filled courtyard ceremony on the Astor Terrace to a candlelit reception in the ballroom, every detail was infused with warmth, sophistication, and the joy of celebrating with their closest loved ones.


The Astor Terrace provided a breathtaking backdrop for Molly & Luke’s vows, a hidden oasis in the city where lush greenery framed the moment beautifully. Molly was the picture of grace in her wedding gown, while her bridesmaids - each in mismatched dresses in varying shades of blush and champagne—looked effortlessly chic. The mismatched style gave the wedding party a modern, romantic feel while still complementing the soft, elegant palette of the day. As Molly & Luke said "I do," the late afternoon light filtered perfectly through the courtyard, casting a golden glow over the intimate gathering. It was one of those moments where time seemed to stand still - full of love, happiness, and the start of something beautiful.


The celebration continued in the St. Regis’ stunning ballroom, where candlelight flickered across tables adorned with lush floral arrangements, delicate gold accents, and elegant white linens. The ambiance was intimate and inviting - like a sophisticated dinner party where every guest felt at home. From heartfelt toasts to quiet, stolen moments between Molly & Luke, the reception was filled with warmth and emotion. Their first dance, set beneath the soft glow of chandeliers, was pure magic - a moment of just the two of them, surrounded by the love of family and friends.


Later in the evening, Molly surprised everyone by changing into a fun, flirty reception dress that fit energy of the evening, perfect for a night of dancing! The dance floor came alive as guests joined in, celebrating late into the night with music, laughter, and the kind of joy that makes a wedding unforgettable. The intimate, candlelit setting of the ballroom transformed into a vibrant, lively celebration—proving that a wedding can be both timelessly elegant and an absolute blast.
