This Couple Traded Assigned Seating for a Mix of High-Top Tables and Lounge Areas at This Chic, Yet Laid-Back Wedding - Washingtonian
"Vriti and Jeremiah started dating after they met working on Elizabeth Warren's 2020 presidential campaign. Four years later, they got engaged on a trip to the Scottish Highlands. They wanted to honor Vriti's South Asian roots while hosting a wedding that felt uniquely them. Vriti spent a long time, she says, working with an officiant to design a ceremony that honored Hindu tradition yet abbreviated the nuptials and made them easy to follow."
"An outdoor setting was nonnegotiable, reflecting their love of nature and hiking. Decor in shades of green with pops of orange, red, and purple evoked a Hindu palette and complemented the National Arboretum's beauty. Rather than assigning seats, the couple mixed high-tops, lounge areas, and open round tables to encourage mingling and give the reception a modern, festive atmosphere."
Vriti and Jeremiah met while working on Elizabeth Warren's 2020 presidential campaign and got engaged in the Scottish Highlands four years later. They planned a wedding that honored Vriti's South Asian roots while remaining personal and streamlined. Vriti collaborated with an officiant to create a ceremony that respected Hindu tradition but shortened the nuptials and kept them easy to follow. The couple insisted on an outdoor venue to reflect their love of nature and hiking. Decor combined shades of green with pops of orange, red, and purple to evoke a Hindu palette and complement the National Arboretum. Seating mixed high-tops, lounge areas, and open round tables to encourage mingling, the bar featured top-shelf Scotch, and servers passed ice-cream sandwiches in lieu of cake.
