With a blush, ivory and green color palette inspired by cherry blossom season, this wedding in Washington DC has all the ingredients for a picture perfect wedding. Following a Parisian engagement, Elizabeth and Paul wanted to bring that same romantic elegance to their DC nuptials. Sprinkle in some gorgeous design and details captured by Kristen Gardner Photography, this elegant wedding is guaranteed to make your Monday that much better! Stay tuned to see more from their sophisticated reception boasting the best view of the city!  ­­

From Elizabeth: Paul proposed in the most romantic way in Paris so I wanted the wedding to reflect that without being too much of a theme. We went with a palate of blush, pink, fresh green, white and cream and hoped that the wedding would coincide with cherry blossom season.

When we first started planning the wedding we had so many DIY plans! Turns out, being crafty is not as easy as it looks. I did have a large hand in designing the family crest we used on our invitations!
