Archer Hotel Brunch Wedding

Archer Hotel Brunch Wedding

Brunch weddings are great ways to have an alternative to a traditional night party with all the amazing food that comes with brunch!! Jessica and Thomas celebrated their nuptials at the Archer Hotel, former the Lorien Hotel & Spa, with an early brunch wedding that featured warm, playful summer flowers. Sunflowers featured heavily in everything from bouquets to the lovely rooftop ceremony arch to the centerpieces. Together with a travel theme that paid homage to common interest and how they met, the Archer Hotel brunch wedding was as sweet as it was sunny in disposition.

The day started with portraits in the courtyard areas at the front of the hotel. Joining with their wedding party, they posed for iconic Alexandria wedding portraits. We love how the traditional brick featured boldly in the backgrounds, a perfect complement to their sunny sunflowers. Jessica’s bouquet featured sunflowers, white roses, and touch of dusty miller foliage. The bridesmaids bouquets were simple sunflowers, finished with raffia to tie off the stems and complement the rustic vibe.

What is more inspirational than a rooftop ceremony! Surrounded on all sides with blue skies, fluffy clouds, and of course, their loving friends and family, the couple shared their vow in front of an elegant wedding arch decorated with a simple greenery garland and vibrant yellow sunflowers.

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨ 

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level 

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance

Not all green and white floral palettes are created equal. This one here will NEVER go out of style and is truly as timeless as they come! Magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary, and delicate touches of white… Add velvet linens and gold touches, and we’re smitten... 😍
