Sunday Brunch Wedding Ceremony in Washington DC: Margaret + Christian
December 15, 2014 admin

If you ask me, it just doesn’t get more darling than this pretty little fête that we’re sharing with you this beautiful Monday morning! Margaret and Christian’s traditional Jewish wedding Washington DC is a cozy winter affair that will have you smiling all morning long. It’s a DIY wedding detail-fest done oh-so-right and every image by Katie DeLorme Photography has me squealing with excitement! And make sure to come back later this morning to see their Sunday brunch wedding reception!

From Margaret: We did not have a theme for the wedding, but we did incorporate a lot of personal touches throughout the ceremony and reception that really made the wedding feel intimate and reflect who we are as a couple and as individuals. We chose to have our wedding at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, in part because it is a beautiful venue, but more importantly because it is owned by a non-profit organization that reflects our values, and we were excited to be able to support them.

We had a Jewish wedding because we decided that it was a first and crucial step in creating a Jewish home together. The ceremony itself had a number of personal details: we used my grandfather’s tallit for the chuppah (wedding canopy); near the end of the ceremony, the bride and groom are wrapped in a tallit and the parents say a blessing over them. We used my mom’s tallit, who died a few years earlier, and we wrote the language for their ketubah (marriage contract).
