Featured Wedding: Lauren & Lorenzo

Woodend Nature Sanctuary, 4.16.16

Written by Washingtonian Staff | Published on December 20, 2016

Amid the joyous sounds of chirping birds and a string-and-flute ensemble, Lauren and Lorenzo wed in a picturesque outdoor ceremony flanked by cherry blossom branches. The reception took place under a tent and inside the historic mansion, where two cultures celebrated in food and music. Special creative touches included Latin appetizers, signature cocktails, a mariachi band, Italian cookies, a conga line, and even the tarantella!
