Hailey & Kevin’s springtime cherry blossom wedding weekend is up on the blog today! 🌸

We loved assisting Hailey & Kevin in the final months leading up to their wedding; a true celebration of two families coming together as one. They exchanged vows at St. Aloysius Catholic Church and enjoyed delicious refreshments at the Westwood Country Club surrounded by family and friends. Cheers to you, Mr. and Mrs. Pulliam! 🥂

Love is in full bloom as they say ‘I do’ this June! 💍✨

We just finished our final meeting with C & N, who were preschool classmates & soon to be husband & wife!

It’s wedding week for Isabella & Brian & we just can’t wait! ✨

We first met this sweet couple last Spring & we’re sooooo excited to see everything come together at the this Saturday. Working with every single vendor we love so it’s gonna be a party!! Let’s get these two married! 🎉 💍

Is it just us or are sparkly diamonds showing up all over your feeds these days?!💍

Hooray for engagements! ✨

Here are some things we recommend doing as soon as he pops the question—& you say yes! Besides pop the champagne, of course! 🥂

1. Enjoy this engagement period! Soak it all in. There’s no need to rush from “we’re engaged!!” to “I need to plan a wedding tomorrow!” You’ll only have this sweet engagement period for a brief period of time; enjoy it.

2. Determine wedding timeframe and size. Having conversations surrounding time of year and how big you’d like your wedding to be will be so helpful once you start looking for your wedding planner, which leads us to…

3. Hire your wedding planner! Whether it’s comprehensive planning or month of coordination, your wedding planner will serve as a trusted resource of knowledge surrounding venues, vendors and budget guidance! We all know the calendars are jam packed with events, so you’ll want to be sure your planner is available for your date!

4. Lock your venue & wedding date. Perhaps your planner is conducting a venue search for you, or maybe you’re doing it on your own. Whatever the case may be, locking your venue and date will allow you both to sit back and breathe a little. That’s the biggest hurdle and it feels great when it’s checked off! ✔️

5. Time for some fun! Plan an engagement party! This is a fun way to bring family & friends together to celebrate you & your fiancé! Pop some more bubbly and enjoy this celebration! 🎉

Please join us in welcoming Josephine, our new Event Assistant, to the team at Boizelle Affaires! You’ll be seeing and hearing more from Josephine here on IG and onsite at our weddings, but in the meantime, check out some fun facts below! 👇🏻

✨My husband is in the Marine Corps so we incorporated a sword arch exit and the cutting of our cake with the traditional sword.

✨It was a day full of a labor of love; My mom made my bouquet & did my makeup, my bridesmaids helped with hair, and my little sisters made the cake and cupcakes!

✨My husband and I met and began our relationship in December and got married one year later. It is safe to say December is my favorite month especially since my anniversary, birthday and Christmas all fall between a 10 day span!

We can’t wait for everyone to get to know Josephine both behind the scenes and at our events! Welcome to the team! 🥂

It’s giving engaged. 💍🔥

Allison & Forrest brought all the vibes to their engagement shoot & absolutely nailed it. These are just the sneak peeks, too! We couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this friend + coworker, now client of ours come October! Cheers, friends! 🥂

Reminiscing on this Divine Mercy weekend wedding we celebrated almost two years ago as we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday tomorrow! Something blue shoes will always be a 👌🏻 decision.

We hope you & yours are having a wonderful first week of the Easter season! 🌾

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Pulliam!

We had all the rain plans planned, but as it turned out, the rain cleared making it possible for a ribbon wand exit outside the church and photos on the terrace! Planning for rain & cherry blossoms resulted in everything running on time & even early most of the day! 📷 🌸

Wishing you all the best as you begin your life together as husband & wife, Hailey & Kevin! 🥂

Thank you to the incredible team of vendors for making this one possible!

When E&E reached out last May about planning their wedding weekend in November, I knew I would likely still be on maternity leave & was so flattered they still wanted to work with me to bring their vision (as well as 200 of their closest family & friends) together at the Hay Adams Hotel for a beautiful celebration.

Needless to say, I knew I needed a team of vendors I could trust to execute their special day, with or without me present. I can’t thank these incredible vendors enough for their time, talent, and efforts in producing such a flawlessly elegant occasion for E&E and their entire families.

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs.! ✨

It’s a bittersweet “goodbye” as Sarah’s last full week with Boizelle Affaires comes to a close. Please join me in wishing Sarah all the best as she steps down from her role with us and continues to thrive while devoting her time and energy to her vocation as wife and mother to her sweet family! ✨

Not only did I gain a colleague, but a dear friend in Sarah since she joined the team almost two years ago. It has been so fun being on this journey of motherhood together while watching her grow professionally. Every couple she worked with instantly fell in love with her calm presence and peaceful demeanor as well as her detailed and precise eye — we know you will be greatly missed, Sarah!

Though she won’t be a part of our day to day planing and designing, you might see her staffing a wedding or two in the future! Wishing you all the best and more, Sarah! 🫶🏻

Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas from the team at Boizelle Affaires! 🎁

Of course, sending extra special Christmas wishes to all of our new couples celebrating their first Christmas as husband and wife! We hope that everyone enjoys the next couple of days filled with those you love, lots of cheer, yummy food, and maybe something sparkling too! 🥂

Brides, keep reading for three tips for enjoying the morning of your wedding!

1. The right getting ready location matters! There will likely be quite a few people around you on the morning of your wedding. In addition to your bridesmaids, your close family members, hair/makeup stylists, and planner will be getting things ready. Nothing feels better than a location with ample space to move around! Good, natural lighting is also a must for your getting ready spot. Not only will this help your stylists, but your photographer too! Keep in mind that the aesthetic of your getting ready location will be the backdrop for all of those morning photographs.

2. Often times a lot of focus is given to the later portion of the day, but the morning schedule is crucial to thoughtfully think through as well. Besides a hair and makeup timeline, there are other moments to plan for in the morning. Preparing beforehand for the morning schedule of events will allow you to sit back and know that your planner will make sure each moment happens according to the prepared timeline.

3. Come prepared and then be ready to enjoy! Gather all of your personal details into one place the night before. Your photographer can easily grab everything and we won't need to keep bugging you as we track down items. Ensure that all of your attire is ready to put on! If something needs to be steamed, make sure to do that ahead of time. The more you prepare, the more you can enjoy your morning getting ready and excited for the day ahead.

An autumn sunset wedding of your dreams! 🍁

We can't get enough of these sneak peeks and so excited to share the rest soon! Mallory and David's wedding was just the perfect day from start to finish and we can't think of a more deserving couple. Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs.! 🍾

Of course this day wouldn't be what it was without the phenomenal team making it all happen!

This midsummer Washington D.C. wedding was nothing short of magical. From the whimsical, colorful bouquets to the stunning venue space, Amelia and Austin’s wedding day was the perfect celebration!

After a wonderful nuptial mass, the night continued in the magical string-lit atmosphere of St. Francis Hall. Surrounded by candles and tables filled with summer blooms, this venue was the perfect setting to continue the summer celebration.
