The event was originally supposed to be in the Urban Garden outside the Ritz-Carlton, yet with concern about the weather conditions, the event was moved indoors in the beautiful lobby, and it was still a very fitting location for this reception. Around 6pm guests made their way into the lobby and it was soon crowded. This event was the first in a series of cocktail receptions to connect DC area professionals allowing them to mix and mingle weekly in July at the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, featuring Ketel One with Ketel One summer cocktails.
As I walked around the lobby I recognized several people I know and many that I did not know, yet this was an event to meet new people, and I was introduced to people while talking with acquaintances. Once the models in the dresses walked in and onto stand on the black boxes in the middle of the lobby, all eyes turned toward them. Some guests drew closer to the middle to see the dresses up closer and camera phones were snapping away. They are gorgeous dresses. Two by two the models came out and then all four models were in full presentation mode toward the end of the evening. I had a chance to go outside and take pictures of the models near two Aston Martin cars. The night continued with more picture-taking and around 8pm the event ended, and everyone dispersed to their other activities, yet for two hours, guests experienced a fashionable and elegant excursion.
