Hitched Bride On United With Love!

Be sure to check out the modern Miami-inspired wedding of Hitched couple Kyle & John, which was featured over at United With Love this week!

This chic affair was held at the LongView Gallery (one of our favorite DC event spaces), and was designed to feel like a swanky Miami lounge. Kyle looked absolutely divine in her Amsale gown, which was the perfect choice for both the setting and her personality.

Be sure to check out the full post for more photos and deets. Congrats to the happy couple!

Web Surfing Wednesday

Be sure to check out this interview from Yahoo! with Anne Barge, one of our favorite designers here at Hitched!

Anne dishes about so much bridal goodness-- everything from what goes into designing her collection to how each gown is produced. Be sure to pop over to Yahoo! and give it a read. Congrats, Anne and team!

Woo At The Zoo

It's almost February, and love is in the air as thoughts of Valentine's Day is fast approaching! We hope you'll consider spending time with your love at this fabulous event we're sponsoring at The National Zoo!

Wooing is an art form whether you’re human or animal. Take a walk on the wild side and learn about romance in the animal kingdom at Woo at the Zoo on Feb. 11, at the National Zoo!

Think love has to be warm and fuzzy? Think again. Reptile Discovery Center animal keepers Barbara Watkins and Lauren Augustine will regale guests with rapturous tales of reptilian romance. Guests will hear them divulge details about the steamy love lives of cold-blooded animals, like the veiled chameleon. The Zoo’s female veiled chameleon wears her heart on her scales. If she is feeling amorous she beguiles her chosen male by turning a tempting shade of green with flecks of blue. When the usually solitary lizards get together, sparks fly.

Zoo Biologist Ed Smith also knows all about wildlife love. Have you ever wondered why some frogs serenade their mates; some mammals leave scents, rather like love notes; and some birds dance? Listen to his humorous explanations of how everything from birds to bees attract mates— and why each technique is irresistible.
 
Guests will enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres, decorate their own edible valentines, and receive a commemorative Woo at the Zoo glass. A specialty Woo at the Zoo cocktail and other beverages will be available at a cash bar.

Hosted by Friends of the National Zoo, Woo at the Zoo is for adults 21 years old and older. Each ticket is valid for a time-specific show in the Visitor Center Auditorium. Tickets are available for 4:30, 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. presentations. Guests are encouraged to arrive early or stay late to enjoy the refreshments and valentine activities. The visitor center will be open from 4 to 10 p.m.
 
Tickets are $11 for FONZ members and $22 for non-members. Parking will be $5 for FONZ members and $10 for nonmembers. Guests are encouraged to purchase their tickets early, as this event typically sells out fast. Tickets can be purchased at the Asia Trail gift shop between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., or on the Zoo’s website. We hope you can make it!
