From wedding portraits against the backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial to stationery and wedding cake featuring the DC skyline, Keisha and John's wedding was a love letter to Washington, DC. Fitting, since their love story kicked off at Howard University. The historic Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium set the stage for their elegant wedding. From invitations with a blind-embossed DC skyline, to escort cards marking the DC spots that shaped their story, to a wedding cake featuring the cityscape, this wedding celebrating DC is the definition of urban elegance. A sophisticated atmosphere greeted guests inside the Mellon Auditorium: golden dinner tables topped with lush arrangements of orchids and roses and dinner menus featuring maps of DC, in another nod to the city's significance to the couple. But this wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about moments. The room erupted in laughter during heartfelt toasts from family. A sorority circle brought all the feels. Then the music hit, the dance floor filled, and the party turned all the way up, ensuring the celebration was as dynamic as the city itself.
