As the Creative Director, Sarah looks to every client as an opportunity to be a visual architect with a desire to create timeless beauty. Over the last decade, Sarah Khan and her studio have designed exquisite weddings for the creme de la creme of DC's social scene. Her aesthetic and design concepts have caught the attention of coveted publications, lifestyle brands, celebrities and politicians. Khan's creative team has found itself featured in digital and print publications in Harper’s Bazaar Bride India, South Asian Bride magazine, Modern Luxury, Washingtonian and television features on Bravo's Real Housewives franchise and the full series of Season 2 of Full Bloom on HBOmax. Sarah's approach to the creative space is to focus on self growth unaltered by the opinion of others. She attributes any success she has to Islam, its principles in business and the discipline it requires to move forward every day to do your best regardless of circumstance.
