Winery-Inspired St Francis Hall Wedding

We must confess. We fall in love with our couples as much as we do with the designs we work together to create with them. Sasha had a grand, winery-inspired St Francis Hall wedding – modern and elegant, classic to the core, with rustic winery-inspired touches throughout. Blending those elements proved stunning. Love, love, LOVE! Sasha’s bouquet featured the simple and clean modern lines of burgundy cymbidium orchids, eggplant mini-calla lilies, and ivory roses finished with curly willow branches vining lightly around the perimeter of the bouquet for a rustic touch to evoke the feel of a winery. Burgundy cymbidium orchids graced her hair. The bridesmaids carried lush bouquets of ivory and pale pink roses, burgundy cymbidiums, and burgundy mini-calla lilies finished with earthy touches of scabiosa pods and seeded eucalyptus.

The ceremony took place at Holy Comforter Church. We love how gleefully happy they look. As guests arrived at the winery-inspired St Francis Hall wedding, they were greeted with an elegant, handblown glass vase filled with wine corks! You would not believe how many wine corks there were! (Special thanks to Fibre Space who put us in touch with La Fromagerie. It’s great to have friends in our Old Town business community.) The vase was topped with a dramatic design of red antique hydrangea, red orchids, Black Magic and Quicksand roses, and burgundy spray roses finished with burgundy hanging amaranthus and seeded eucalyptus foliage. The reception alternated between elegant tall and low designs in rich shades of wine and champagne.

Tall designs were elevated on an elegant, old world-styled cathedral candlestick, each holding classic designs of hydrangea, roses, spray roses finished with burgundy hanging amaranthus and seeded eucalyptus, the hues alternating between deep rich burgundies and champagnes – fitting for a winery-inspired St Francis Hall Wedding. A small, wooden wine crates held the low designs, each arrangement featuring roses, hydrangea, dahlia, callas, and spray roses finished with rustic accents of kiwi vine. A dramatic cascade of wedding flowers proceeded down one side of the cake.

White roses are classic for a reason. Refined, effortless, always right. But tucked among the blooms in this bride`s bouquet? Pale blue tweedia. 😍 Just a whisper of color, just enough to tell you something about who she is. That`s the detail that makes a bouquet hers. ⁣

Every choice we make is intentional, and it all starts with listening to you. If you`re planning a wedding at Hotel Monaco DC, or anywhere in Washington, we`d love to be part of it. Link in bio to get in touch.⁣

The only blues here are dresses, flowers and vases! Alexandra & Kevin’s wedding was truly magical. From the church ceremony in Old Town Alexandria to the swanky city rooftop reception. And boy did this group dance! 💃🏻 🕺

One of the things I love about designing weddings at St. Francis Hall is how beautifully the space supports different color palettes. The stone walls act almost like a canvas, allowing the flowers to bring personality and energy into the room.⁣
⁣
For Lilly & Ryan’s wedding, color played a big role in their celebration. Their ceremony began in the garden at St. Francis Hall before the party continued inside the Hall, and we designed the flowers to feel vibrant and expressive against the historic architecture. Seeing the profusion of blooms come to life in a space with so much history is always a reminder that no two weddings here ever feel the same.⁣
⁣
We are so excited to be back this week with a fresh and exciting palette!⁣

There are weddings... and then there are Washington, DC summer weddings...⁣
⁣
Long evenings. Lush greenery. Crisp white flowers with a hint of blush. That golden light that makes everyone look like they belong in a magazine.⁣
⁣
Alex & `John`s Capitol View at 400 wedding reminded us why we look forward to this season every year. Summer has our heart, and we`re not even pretending otherwise. 💚⁣

There’s something about citrus in the summertime that feels instantly joyful. 🍊 🍋

Paired with blue and white chinoiserie, blooms in warm sunset hues of peach, coral and orange, this tablescape is a reminder that the most memorable celebrations are full of color, texture, and unexpected details.

Would you embrace a citrus-inspired wedding or event?
