D.C. Wedding Hot List

Even though I’m getting married in Southern California, my love (obsession?) for all things wedding-related has me always on the lookout for the best venues and vendors on the scene wherever I may be.

Planning a wedding in the Washington, D.C., area? Don't miss the 2009 Washington Post Express Night Out awards for best D.C. bridal shop, Georgetown’s Hitched Salon, and venue, the historic Dumbarton House.

Plus, Here Comes the Guide, one of the most well-organized and helpful California wedding guides out there, is now featuring D.C. venues, from the classy Waterford at Fair Oaks, to the wacky, offbeat Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria. Visit their fun website for more details.

Where are you getting married, and what are some of your favorite venues?
