Planning an elopement? Well look no further than this wedding inspiration from 
Alicia Lacey Photography! All of the details turned out amazing, but the stunning dress by
Sweet Caroline Styles stole the show with its tulle blue skirt and lacey top. 

With gorgeous florals from
Blossom and Vine, this shoot is a total dream and is everything we love about intimate elopements in the city. So feel inspired when you visit the

Intimate elopement

This intimate elopement, the vision of Alicia Lacey Photography, was brought to life at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. The shoot featured a colorful floral bouquet from Blossom and Vine and a scrumptious cake with the couple’s vows in gold calligraphy around the sides.

Head over heels 

The model, Nina Ferreira, wore a tulle gown by Sweet Caroline Styles that was tied together by a gorgeous pair of gold Jimmy Choo heels. In lieu of an invitation suite, The Littlest Paperie designed an announcement suite for the couple to share the news with their close friends and family. It was our hope to keep this shoot so intimate, that it would feel like these two were the only people in this bustling city, the way it feels when a couple is head over heels in love.
