Celine, an analyst from Maryland, and Pamir, a scientist from Virginia, met in college and got engaged at the National Arboretum.
For their June wedding at the Fathom Gallery on 14th Street, they chose a minimalist theme that was anything but plain. Bright pink flowers—including a whimsical floral ceremony installation, as well as a perfectly coordinated installation at the Viceroy Washington DC, where they got ready and had their first look—set a cheerful scene. The intimate summer wedding started with a ceremony on the roof, followed by a dinner reception inside with the 40 guests. Fashion was one highlight: the bride donned a sparkly gown at the ceremony that she swapped for a short feather dress for the reception; meanwhile, Pamir changed from a black tuxedo at the ceremony to a white jacket for the reception. At the end of the evening, late-night snacks included Shake Shack burgers and fries.
