Lindsey and David’s love story began five years ago when they met at the University of Southern California. Lindsey was in her first year of pharmacy school, while David was completing his last semester. Despite the distance, with David moving to Charleston post-graduation, the couple made it work, spending almost every weekend together. \u201cWhen I finally graduated from pharmacy school, I made him move to DC with me where I grew up and all my family lives. Now he loves it here!\u201d<\/em> shared Lindsey. Their journey culminated in a beautiful wedding set in the heart of Washington, DC.<\/p>

The wedding took place at the prestigious American Pharmacists Association with a rooftop reception at Potomac View Terrace<\/span><\/a>, offering stunning views of the Capitol and the Washington Monument. The couple envisioned an outdoor part with great views and embraced a neutral color palette of white, creams, green, and gold.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Lindsey\u2019s wedding day began with a serene morning spent with her bridesmaids, complete with champagne toasts and joyful laughter. She wore a breathtaking gown by Australian designer Kyha<\/a><\/span>. \u201cAt the time I was looking, my dress was only available to try on in Australia and New York. I went to 5 dress shops looking for a dress similar to my inspiration picture, but nothing felt right,” <\/em>she recalled. Her maid of honor found the original dress from Australia at a trunk show at Garnish Boutique in Baltimore, and as soon as Lindsey tried it on, it was meant to be!<\/p>

Her total look included grandmother’s diamond necklace and wedding band, Pearl-Embellished Satin Pumps from Jimmy Choo<\/a><\/span>, and a pearl Eos Clutch from Cult Gaia<\/span>.<\/a>\u00a0Shenoa Nicole from DMV<\/a><\/span> did her makeup, and Sarah from Amie Decker<\/span><\/a>\u2019s team styled her hair, ensuring her curls lasted all day. “<\/em>For my “something blue” my maid of honor gave me a heart with me and my husband’s initials that was sewn into the dress,”<\/em> shared Lindsey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

David prepared for the big day surrounded by his groomsmen, wearing a stylish white tuxedo jacket with black lapels that perfectly matched Lindsey\u2019s sophisticated style.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
