Urban Garden for Dock 5 Wedding

Urban Garden for Dock 5 Wedding

Warehouse location Dock 5 is a DC wedding venue that can handle an ample guest coun

Laura and Michael transformed Union Market’s raw, industrial space into a urban garden for their Dock 5 wedding, complete with live trees for the early fall. The couple imagined the feel of an outdoor wedding without being exposed to the elements, and so they selected the raw, industrial space to truly bring the outdoors in.

The urban garden aesthetic for their Dock 5 wedding took an artistic twist, as the couple stood beneath a large chuppah of pastel pink and white faux flower petals designed by Philadelphia-based artist Carla Weeks. Laura carried an organic cascade bouquet of variegated ivy accented with delicate stephanotis blossoms. The flowers girls carried petite bouquets of baby’s breath with matching crowns to match the bride’s bouquet.

The garage doors remained open during the reception for this urban garden wedding at Dock5. Large trees were placed around the space. Drinks were served up at a bar covered in greenery to look like boxwood. A tableau of vintage wooden wine crates overflowing with flowers, moss and faux mushrooms holding each place card served as the escort card table. Magnolia branches in large glass vases were used as centerpieces. Finally, cream fabric draped on the walls and amber uplighting added some romance and texture to the space.

We are back at Woodend this coming week, and it has us reminiscing about Amanda and Jack’s whimsical, wonderful, William Morris-inspired dream of a wedding with an Art Nouveau twist. The wedding layered bohemian textures, vintage details, woodland creatures and, of course, romantic blooms into a palette that felt both grounded and poetic. Think climbing vines, golden light, and flowers that felt like they had stepped out of an heirloom wallpaper print - in the best way. We’re still swooning. 💫

A rooftop celebration that proves timeless can still be bold. For Elaine & Trey’s wedding at Capitol View at 400, we leaned into classic green and white, but elevated it with sculptural greenery installations, gold Harlow stands, and skyline views that stretched for miles. A ceiling of foliage softened the tented space, while sleek black bridesmaid dresses added contrast and edge. Clean, refined, and impossibly romantic.
