Elegance & Simplicity...known for their “expertise on inter-cultural weddings” - The Washington Post
Elegance & Simplicity...”they specialize in multi-cultural weddings...” - Washingtonian , Jan. 2007

Elegance & Simplicity prides itself on providing excellent service and on being a boundless resource for all types of weddings. Based in the Washington, DC area and in the Dominican Republic, the team at Elegance & Simplicity thrives on diversity. Diversity is the spice of life! Where there is life,

there is love! DC is known for being political and at the same “international”. With all of the embassies and internationally acclaimed universities... it is no wonder that a large portion of weddings in the DC area are multi-cultural! Here are a few of our featured weddings, take a look!

Maya (being a Jain Indian) and David (being Jewish) wanted to celebrate their love by honoring their families and their cultures.  Wanting both Jain and Jewish ceremonies, Maya & David hired us to help them create a beautiful wedding landscape comprised of rich colors, flowers, lighting & fabrics accompanied by exquisite cuisine at the Ronald Reagan Buidling/International Trade Center in Washington, DC. Congratulations Maya & David!

Daphene (born in Haiti ) and Rodney (African-American) wanted to have an elegant affair for all of their guests to remember.  With so many family members traveling from Haiti, Daphene wanted them to see DC through her eyes and to finally see the man she fell in love with. They chose the Woman's National Democratic Club, nestled right off Dupont Circle. They incorporated his African heritage with the jumping of the broom and her heritage by dancing to Haitian Kompa music (along with tunes from Frank Sinatra).
Congratulations Daphene & Rodney!  See their wedding soon in “Upscale” magazine!

Ponneh (Iranian) and Scott (American) wanted to have a day filled with friends, food and traditions. Wanting to have both a “Western” ceremony and a Persian ceremony... they decided to celebrate their love at George Washington's River Farm in Alexandria , VA. Scott was working in Thailand and got to know and love the culture there. The couple wanted to incorporate Thai traditions in both the “Western” ceremony and at the reception. Ponneh wanted to show her family's Persian traditions including the sofreh ye-aqd (wedding cloth) and delectable delights from her mom for cocktail hour! Congratulations Ponneh & Scott!  See their wedding in the Winter 2008 edition of My day Magazine!
