From Elizabeth Fogarty Photography, "Lauren and Mohammed wanted to welcome their guests to a quintessential Washington DC experience for their wedding weekend. They moved from New York to DC in the spring of 2016 and wanted to celebrate the place where they will begin their life together."
"When considering venues, they selected Meridian House because of its history, elegance and classic style."
"Designed by John Russell Pope, who also designed the the Jefferson Memorial, the National Archives and the West Building of the National Gallery of Art, Meridian House captures the feel of DC in a more intimate setting."
"They also fell in love with the Linden Grove, an Italian style garden which reminded them of their time on the Amalfi Coast."
"Given the beauty of Meridian House, they wanted a simple, elegant wedding design that did n0t have any sense of snootiness, to use Lauren’s term. Beth Trenti, of Porter and Dives, worked with ivory and cream garden roses and added in local DC blackberries, grapevines, and hops to add more laid-back, seasonal feel to the wedding."
"The wedding menu also considered the Muslim faith of Mohammed’s family. While he is not Muslim, they wanted his family to feel welcomed and respected with sparkling juices, and a pork-free menu."
"Lauren and Mohammed share a love of travel and fitness. Mohammed proposed on the beach in Rio de Janeiro at the 2016 Olympics and their honeymoon took them to Dubai (where Mohammed was born), the Maldives and Sri Lanka where Lauren met Mohammed’s extended family."
"SoulCycle is one of their favorite activities so they invited all their wedding guests to a ride the morning of their wedding."
