The Road to Mrs. – My Style to the Aisle Bridal Expo Recap

4 Apr2013 By Bridgette 12 Comments

Triple B's Road to Mrs. blogger Nae shares the 411 on DC's Style to the Aisle Bridal Show!

Last weekend I attended the Style to the Aisle, A Bride’s Runway event at L’Enfant Plaza Hotel in Washington, D.C. Created by Michelle Davis of Memorable Moments Event Planning Co. in Baltimore, MD, this one-of-a-kind bridal fashion event brings brides face to face with designers, bridal boutiques, models, photographers, makeup artists and hair stylists. This event is different from most bridal shows/expos in that it is centered around Michelle’s belief that the aisle is a bride’s personal runway and every bride is a celebrity on their special day. Who can argue with that? [Read more...]

Destination Wedding Alert – Loudoun County, Virginia

23 Jul2012 By Bridgette Leave a Comment

Can you believe this is less than an hour from bustling Washington, D.C.?

Shortly after launching Triple B, one thing became abundantly clear…A whole lotta you guys reside in the Washington, D.C., Maryland and/or Northern Virginia (DMV) areas. I’m not quite sure why or how this happened since I’m based in the Big Apple but that is indeed the case. Thus when I learned that Louduon County was an under the radar yet pretty darn fab location for destination weddings, I was extra excited! Filled with wineries, vineyards and plush lanscapes, this quiet southern oasis is ideal for a modern wedding with classic touches and is just a short drive from D.C. [Read more...]

See more of Robyn & Victor's engagement photos!

I know many of you are salty with me for yesterday’s MIA Tie the Knot Tuesday. (I’ll spare you any dog ate my homework excuses.) So, I come with gifts today: e-session images of Maryland nearlyweds Robyn and Victor! EyeWonder Photography in Silver Spring, Maryland did a fab job shooting this gorgeous couple in the same Washington, D.C. location Victor popped the question. They are scheduled to wed in their homestate of Maryland next month and have already agreed to have their nuptials showcased here on Triple B. (No, there aren’t the typical Triple B captions for these images but the pics speak for themselves.)
