Claire and Adil were married on a beautiful spring day in May. The DC wedding ceremony and reception took place at Meridian House, which Claire and Adil chose for its classic design and beautiful gardens. Barbara Salisbury for The Observatory captured the day’s images, starting as Claire and her lovely attendants got ready for the big day!
Claire chose a color palette of purple, blue, and green – all perfect for a spring wedding. Katie Martin from Elegance & Simplicity incorporated hydrangea, cymbidium orchids, and freesia into the bridal party bouquets.
Claire and Adil met while working as counselors during a summer camp for Seeds of Peace. They chose an interfaith wedding ceremony out on the beautiful Meridian House gardens.
The Meridian House provided a beautiful backdrop for both the outdoor happy hour and indoor reception.
