Modern Elegance at the Flying Bridge

This year, we've seen a good amount of neutral color palettes, including the ever-so-pretty white&green combo. These colors are timeless, and fit any style (not to mention we LOVE it). In August, we providing logistics, decor, and flower assistance to a fellow wedding planner. This intimate wedding took place at the Flying Bridge and was captured by Daryl & Johanna Calfee:

Studio DBI Open House

To continue with the citrus theme from yesterday, we bring you photos from our Open House. We decided to brighten up our showroom space with vibrant yellows, oranges, and greens and create a warm yet fun atmosphere. We chose seasonal florals to bring spring to life. Check out the various details captured to Paired Images:

Inspire Me Mondays

As a design studio, we are always sourcing inspiration. We don't just leave the house - we leave the house on the hunt for the unique, the pretty, and the interesting. There seems to be a huge misconception out there that when it comes to wedding design inspiration "pinterest weddings" are the only option. While pinterest is a great tool to collect ideas, and see what's been done, don't underestimate the power of the every-day. Door knobs, necklaces, wallpaper, etc can all make great inspiration. Colors, textures, and patterns can be drawn from unexpected places, which is why we've teamed with Audra Wrisley Photography+Design to bring you a new series on the blog we're calling "Inspire Me Mondays". Every monday we'll bring you ideas from the everyday that can be incorporated into your wedding design.

Let's kick off this series with a bold color palette inspired by the Southwest. Teal, blue, and red make an impact and are not an obvious wedding color combination. You never have to be in-your-face with your theme/inspiration - replace your basic white votives with teal candles, add a rich red necklaces to the bridesmaids' attire, and invite your guests to enjoy a made-to-order guacamole station during cocktail hour.

Re-Introducing: DBI Owner - Liza

If you're reading this, you most likely know who I am - I'm Liza, owner of DBI. My love for design and events motivated me to start this company, and I cannot be more thankful for how far DBI has come. None of this could have been possible without the amazing DBI team or the incredible support from both the DC wedding industry and family+friends. We have some huge announcements coming in 2014 and hope that all of you stick around for the ride.






 A HUGE thank you to Paired Images for capturing the silliness of DBI.

Meet Leesa - our event production lead/MacGyver. Leesa has been with DBI since 2012 and has done everything from hanging from ladders to get the right draping swag to spending 48 hours straight covered in crafting materials figuring out how to "make it work".

Wedding Week Wrap-Up

As we wrap up Wedding Week, we'd like to leave you with a few tips that you won't necessarily find in your timeline.
Emergency Wedding Kit: As the saying goes - sh*t happens. Make sure you have the tools in place to solve any minor accidents - a sewing kit, a stain remover, headache medicine, mints, etc. No one has time to run to a CVS when they're getting their hair done.
Plan B: In the DC area, our weather is unpredictable. If you are having any portion of your celebration outside, make sure you have a backup plan. Whether it's a tent, an indoor space, or umbrellas - you need to have a plan in place so that no matter what happens on your wedding day, you will be able to enjoy it stress-free.
Rehearsal: Conduct a ceremony rehearsal the day before your wedding, so that on the day of the wedding you and your wedding party know where to go and what to do. A few simple walk-throughs of the ceremony will avoid awkward moments during the real deal. 


Good luck with wedding planning and if you decide that you need professional assistance, our new head Planner/Coordinator Stephanie would be happy to sit down with you to discuss your needs. Shoot us an email at info [at] studiodbi [dot] com.


Have a Happy Friday!

A Look Back on 2013

This year has been our best year yet! And we're not just talking about bookings - our clients are more daring than ever, our team has significantly grown (staff portraits coming soon!), and we've moved into a sunny corner space in Old Town Alexandria. We are so thankful for the referrals and for those who've given us a chance this year. Before we launch into 2014, let's take a look at some of the fun things we got to do this year:
