Field Trip to DC = BIG news for our Veranda!

Last week, I took a little road trip up to Washington DC to the W Hotel to check out their AMAZING rooftop bar. It's such a great little spot - it even overlooks the backyard of the White House! While I was dreaming of being there while it was nighttime and actually open, I remembered the reason I was there in the first place - to check out the clear sides they have around the perimeter. I'm sure you've seen in past pictures that our outdoor wedding veranda had these roll-up vinyl sides that honestly weren't so attractive. Those poor guys didn't hold up to the OBX weather very well, so we've been on a mission to find a replacement! We still wanted our veranda to be completely open-air if desired, but also enclosable for inclement weather and chilly nights. Most importantly though, they need to be able to survive more than two seasons in the salty winds! Well, we found a WINNER! Check out the pictures below to see what the "Ziptrak" system looks like at the W Hotel, and imagine how great it's going to look and work for us here! It will be installed before our 2012 wedding season kicks into gear :)

Stay tuned for additional updates about our venue coming soon, even more exciting than this one! (Teaser: new flooring? something outdoors?)

Happy Planning!
