Intimate Meridian House Wedding

If it’s one thing we learned in 2020, it’s that small weddings are far from mundane! No matter how small the guest list, there’s no reason to sacrifice style or memorable details. Ali and Andrew’s intimate Meridian House wedding took place in the Linden Grove, which became the ultimate one-stop space for an effortless and classic affair.

We loved the use of varying shades of green foliage throughout. Lush magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary and olive leaf were complemented with white and ivory blooms. Ali’s bouquet featured ivory garden roses, white ranunculus, and ivory majolica spray roses accented with the mix of magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary and olive, lending a classic and organic feel to the event. And really, shouldn’t every wedding day start with walking the dog in your finest?

We are big fans of the Linden Grove. It is the perfect space for an intimate Meridian House wedding ceremony. The doors from the loggia made for an elegant entrance, while the trees form a natural aisle in the outdoor space. Garden urns flanked the couple for the ceremony. And don’t miss the special guest of honor with the best seat in the house!

But we love the Linden Grove even more for an intimate Meridian House wedding reception! Gold mercury mint julep cups were filled with lush wedding foliages accented with ivory spray roses. And can we talk about that gorgeous green velvet linen on the bar?! So luxe. Finished perfectly with a bar arrangement of textured white blooms paired with magnolia, olive leaf, rosemary and eucalyptus in a gold mercury bowl.

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.

Amy & Reuben’s wedding photos are here, and I forgot how much I loved this palette! White flowers, loads of green, and black woven through just enough to make everything feel a little sharper.⁣
⁣
We used anemones, ranunculus, roses, sweet pea and stock, with big, loose greenery moments throughout the room. It was springy without being pastel, classic without feeling too traditional, and so much fun to see all together at the Park Hyatt.⁣
⁣
Also, that bouquet. 🤍🖤⁣

Classic roses. Ethereal baby’s breath. And bleached ruscus for some fashion forward style. Classic with an edge.

We spend a lot of time talking about flowers, mechanics, color palettes, and installations.⁣
But every once in a while we`re reminded that flowers aren`t really the point.⁣
⁣
They`re the backdrop to the moments people remember.⁣
⁣
Tiffiannii & Minerva`s celebration, made possible through Wish Upon a Wedding, was one of those reminders. The flowers mattered. The celebration mattered more.⁣
⁣
And that`s exactly how it should be.⁣
