Kerry Washington's wedding was "simple and sweet".

The 36-year-old actress married American football star and actor Nnamdi Asomugha in a quiet ceremony in Idaho last month.

News of the nuptials only broke on July 3.

A purported friend of the couple who attended the ceremony is now offering details about the elegant affair.

"Everything was held at one of Kerry's friend's houses," the insider told People magazine.

"They flew a few people out on this little private plane. The house was beautiful."

The ceremony was held outdoors, according to the source.

Loved ones stayed at the home afterward to continue celebrations with the bride and groom.

"It was small, just family and close friends. They said their own vows, people stayed at the house. It was really simple and sweet," the insider added.

Kerry's dress was reportedly very traditional.

The actress is said to have shunned her usual daring red carpet style in favour of something more "plain".

"The dress was plain white, slim-fitting, like it could have been off a rack. It was really regular," the insider added.

Kerry recently gushed to People about her feelings of joy following the wedding.

While she hasn't addressed the nuptials publicly, the Scandal star hinted at being over-the-moon with her personal life when asked about her recent Emmy nomination.

"I'm blessed. I'm really happy in all areas of my life," she said.

Kerry and Nnamdi reportedly dated for a year before exchanging vows.

It is her first marriage.
