Adelphi Mill Wedding

Adelphi Mill wedding reception

Ann and Matthew couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spring day for their rustic spring wedding this past April at Adelphi Mill.  The weather gods truly smiled on them with blue skies, not a rain cloud in sight, and gorgeous temperatures for their outdoor ceremony. Ann looked simply stunning in her lace strapless gown.

Ann’s bouquet of roses, tulips, and lisianthus in romantic shades of lavender and purple were paired with herbal lavender and fiddlehead fern curls for an organic and wooded touch.  Matt’s boutonniere was the perfect match, designed using a lavender rose accented with lavender and fiddlehead fern curls.  The wedding party’s flowers continued the soft, spring lavender hues, using roses and tulips – complementing but not competing with the shades and textures of Ann’s bouquet.

The rustic spring wedding ceremony took place in a wooded grove on the grounds.  Ann and Matthew spent the month leading up to the wedding crafting paper cranes in shades of blue, silver and white, some of which were used to decorate the rustic and natural focal point fashioned from curly willow branches. The tables for the reception featured a classic, purple pin tuck linen, which provided a rich, colorful backdrop for the simple and rustic elegance of mason jars that held simple arrangements of hydrangea and tulips in green and white.  A whimsical canopy of paper lanterns and paper crane garlands suspended from the ceiling finished the look inside the Mill.

Double duty, done beautifully. 

For Claire & Sean’s wedding at the Dockmaster’s Building, we created a floral garland for their ceremony arch. Eleegant, lush, and just dramatic enough to hold its own against the waterfront backdrop. 

But we weren’t done yet. That same garland made a second appearance, repurposed to trail down the length of their head table. Thoughtful, sustainable, and completely gorgeous. Because we believe a good floral moment deserves an encore.

Some weddings are magic. ✨ 

This one just took a cart, a loading dock, stairs, ramps, 250 feet of hallway, and a very determined florist team.

Here’s what you don’t see in the final gallery: the cardio, the zip ties, the setup hustle. But would we do it all again for this dreamy blue-and-white moment we created for Jenni & Aaron at the Omni Shoreham? Absolutely.

Some weddings are sweet.

This one? Smart, stylish, and just a little unexpected.

At Eaton DC, where there’s a record player in the lobby and intention in every detail, we brought florals that nodded to tradition. White and blush, gold compotes, lush greenery - and then we slipped in a few surprises (hello, orchids). From a ceremony full of movement to tall reception designs that played with height and shape, this wedding proved modern love doesn’t have to be minimal.
