Anderson House DC Wedding

Anderson House DC Wedding

Anderson House DC wedding reception

There’s nothing like an Anderson House DC wedding. One of Washington, DC’s most elegant venues, Anderson House is a true hidden gem for weddings near Dupont Circle. The headquarters of the Society of the Cincinati, the nation’s oldest patriotic organization, the Florentine villa style building has been a site of entertaining in the city for more than one hundred years. In addition to hosting presidents and princes, it was host to Heather and Clifford’s late September wedding at Anderson House. In a nod to the groom’s heritage, the wedding featured a rich palette of reds and burgundies, a color scheme equally appropriate for autumn as for the Asian tradition of using red for weddings.

The floral palette for the personal flowers was clean-lined and modern. Heather carried burgundy mini-calla lilies, as did her maid of honor. Clifford wore a matching boutonniere accented with red hypericum berries. Mothers carried petite posies of white mini-calla lilies.

Flanking the ceremony were two striking altar arrangements in wrought iron stands. Each held a dramatic design of burgundy snapdragons, red mokara and James Storei orchids, and red gladiola.

The cocktail hour took place around the reflecting pool, where large lanterns were placed at the corners. The reception featured two elegant, long tables with guests seated on each side. Tall fluted glass vases spaced evenly across the length of the table held expressive designs of red orchids, gladiola and snapdragons, with orchids submerged within the vases. Many of the guests commented that the reception had the elegance of sitting at a State Dinner. Interspersed between the tall arrangements, a mix of gold bowls and mint julep cups held monochromatic designs of red flowers. Some containers featured a textured presentation of roses, spray roses, calla lilies, orchids, berries and dahlias while others held lush, single varieties of flowers. A simple topper of red and burgundy flowers crowned the top of the cake.

This moment. This backdrop. Nicole & Cina’s wedding ceremony at the Reagan International Trade Building was a masterclass in modern romance. White petals lined the aisle while a copper-painted square arch framed our couple in soft waves of white + green blooms. The final touch? The bride + her bridesmaids perfectly poised beneath the arch—one of those “stop scrolling” moments we’ll never tire of. Timeless, effortless, unforgettable.

A symphony in shades of lavender 💜 From lush roses and ranunculus to delicate lisianthus, stock, and striking Picasso callas, every bloom played its part in bringing Laura & Rolan’s spring wedding to life. We started with a dreamy ceremony arch, added romantic bouquets, and tied it all together with a scene that was as unforgettable as the couple themselves.
