Real Garter: Elyka

DC bride with modern wedding and white and purple bridal bouquet

Dark, dramatic and moody...we can't get enough of this beautiful modern wedding! Elyka and Dan's big day in Washington, DC featured so many custom details. We have fallen in love with the black, purple and gold wedding color palette. Every detail of this wedding's design captures our attention. This wedding was even featured in Washingtonian Magazine!

Oh, and did we mention this was a Washington DC wedding (Our hometown, of course!)!? Look at those views of the city skyline!

Elyka chose a custom wedding garter in a black eyelash lace. The dark color paired with the soft edges of the eyelash lace create the perfect balance. (Here are our pictures of her personalized black lace lace wedding garter that we took, if you want to see more pictures of her garter heirloom.) It's finished off with the perfect black bow. Her bridal look is classic yet modern and amazingly stunning.

I'm so impressed with the design and details of this gorgeous wedding at the Spy Museum in Washington, DC. Take a look for yourself at these amazing photos from Michelle Lindsay and planned by Bella Notte....
