An Intimate Alexandria Elopement

An Intimate Alexandria Elopement
All smiles after Alexandria elopement

When Daniela and Mark’s initial wedding plans were disrupted due to COVID-19 restrictions, like many couples, they rescheduled for a later date. But honoring their initial wedding date, they decided to get married anyway! Their Alexandria elopement took place at the Basilica of Saint Mary here in Old Town this past May. While the crowd was smaller, their nearest and dearest were in attendance for the intimate wedding. After being effectively closed for a few months, we were more than excited and ready to assist with flowers for the nuptials!

Rather than duplicate the initial floral scheme, Daniella chose instead a spring palette of romantic pastels. The classic cascade bouquet was designed using a blend of pale beige Sandy, mauve pink Faith, and pale lavender Luminous roses, ivory majolica spray roses, and finished with ruscus, eucalyptus and wispy asparagus fern foliage. Not to be forgotten, we designed a matching boutonniere for Mark.

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.
