Romantic Union Station Wedding

Hold onto your seats because we have one STUNNING romantic Union Station wedding to share with you! One of our favorite events of last fall, Abby and Dan’s wedding was the epitome of gorgeous. Soft peaches and blush pinks laid over silver grays and whites – romantic colors enough to make you swoon.

The romantic Union Station wedding ceremony took place beneath a modern lucite chuppah. The decor was simple – just a bank of branches tucked with blush pink dendrobium orchids to echo the feel of cherry blossom branches.

The romantic Union Station wedding reception was where the true wow factor happened. With a mix of three table designs, the expansive hall was full of visual interest. Long mirror-topped tables featured a runner of flowers in peaches and pinks interspersed with gracefully draping white phalaenopsis orchids in delicate glass vases and taper candles in contemporary glass candlesticks.

For the square tables, three tall glass rectangle vases of varying heights held monochromatic arrangements of gladiola in a shade of pink or peach. And finally, silver and gold cube and silver vases held monochromatic designs in white and peach.

Classic with a fall twist! Touches of blush, dark brown hues of magnolia and nine bark, plus a touch of “colonial blue” to befit the setting. Perfection.

Katie + Jake’s wedding was PURE SPRING. 🌸⁣
⁣
Peonies, Juliet garden roses, ranunculus, sweet pea, stock, campanula... Basically all the flowers you hope will show up when someone tells you they’re getting married in May.⁣
⁣
We kept everything loose and gardeny, in peaches, soft blush, white and those wonderful slightly faded greens that keep pastels from becoming too sugary. And at Woodlawn, surrounded by actual spring? So, so pretty.⁣
This is exactly why May flowers have my heart.⁣
Their reception arrangements continued that mix of garden roses, tea roses, spray roses, ranunculus, butterfly ranunculus, campanula and sweet pea.⁣

One of my favorite moments at every St. Francis Hall wedding is right before the ceremony begins. The room fills with that quiet anticipation as guests take their seats and the flowers finally become part of the scene they were designed for.⁣
⁣
For Alexandra & Sam’s ceremony, the stage was framed with a lush, deconstructed arch, creating a focal point against the hall’s burgundy proscenium drape. As the music began and Alexandra walked down the aisle, everything came together in that way it only does once. The architecture, the flowers, the lighting, and two people about to start their marriage. It is always a privilege to help shape that moment.⁣

A tented reception. Ceremony urns overflowing with white hydrangea and gladiola. Centerpieces that looked like they were plucked straight from an English country garden. Rachael and Scott`s Woodlawn wedding was everything. 🤍 This is exactly why we love what we do, taking a venue`s natural beauty and letting the flowers just... amplify it. Historic, romantic, and completely unforgettable. 🌿✨⁣

Theres something about September that always feels like a turning point. The days are still warm, but the morning is a bit cooler. School is back in session. The light starts to change. And after a long DC summer, you do all get that first day when you can open the door and think, yes, fall really is coming. 🍁

For me fall has always been tied to the rhythm of the school year. Kids going back to school and calendars filling up. Pulling sweaters out of the back of the closet, and thinking about Halloween before you’re quite ready to admit summer is over.

In the studio, autumn has another rhythm. September and October weddings - arguably our busiest time of the year - paired with all sorts of fun things. Pods, berries, grasses and all sorts of funky things.

I think there’s a reason fall weddings always feel so right. It’s a season built around change. The landscape shifts, the light softens, the year begins winding down… and in the midst of that, two people choose to begin something.

Maybe that’s what I love about this time of year. Autumn can feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. So here’s to another fall wedding season, changing leaves, cooler nights (no mosquitoes), celebrations and all the new beginnings still ahead.
