Preppy Vibes for Army Navy Country Club Wedding

October might be fall in some parts of the United States, but here in the DC area, it’s still summer. And nothing says summertime like bright pinks and greens! Lauren and Javier’s gorgeous, bright, summery preppy Army Navy Country Club wedding in Arlington, Virginia. For her bouquet, Lauren wanted something classic yet fun, modern and preppy. Whites, shades of light and hot pink and bright greens – with flowers like dahlias, roses, hypericum berries, stock and freesia – made up the bridal bouquet. The bridesmaids bouquets had similar flowers, but in brighter, deeper shades of hot pink, each finished with navy-and-white striped ribbons. A hot pink rose for Javier complemented the flowers in Lauren’s bouquet.

The rooftop ceremony was centered on a gorgeous chuppah covered with trailing ivy and flowers in shades of bright hot pink. The pretty Army Navy Country Club wedding aisle was finished with chair posies that complimented the chuppah, each finished with navy and white striped ribbon.

In discussing final changes, one of our couples had a note of hesitation in her voice, worried her palette might set a different mood than intended. Not seasonal enough? Too austere?

But here’s the thing: mood can be a matter of perspective. Which brings us to this wedding: once upon a time, orange was typecast as a strictly fall color. But flowers don’t follow rules. They bloom wildly, confidently, year-round! There are orange flowers in every season and in recent years, we’ve seen orange blooms show up to spring weddings, as warm oranges at summer soirées, and of course they’re still the favored guest at autumn affairs. Each time, the hue brings something fresh. Joy. Energy. That just-right edge.

Your color story should feel like you. In fact, for Olivia & David’s wedding, our bride’s mother shared that the color palette had been the one in her daughter’s childhood bedroom. A vibrant floral story that she had been living with all along. That’s what flowers can do. Pull memories forward, stitch generations together and turn a wedding into something deeply personal. And if it happens to challenge a few outdated ideas? Even better. 😉

You know it’s a good day when this is the response you get to a proposal:⁣
⁣
“I’m actually crying. It’s so beautiful. It’s everything I wanted it to be.”⁣
⁣
Many companies spend tons of time, money, and effort trying to dissect and analyze consumer habits, lifestyle patterns and predictive indicators of “ideal clients”. It turns out, we can use flowers to speak to our clients` vision, and it`s something we`ve figured out simply by listening. We take simple cues and sometimes vague descriptions, turning them into a clear direction that reflects each couple’s individual nuances and personality.

We will never tire of a warm and colorful wedding in the city during the winter months. Sunny yellow just hits differently during those cold dark evenings! 💛

Ten years is a wild thing to look back on! And 20 photos is hardly enough. Scrolling through 2016 feels like opening a time capsule of big ideas, brave design choices, and most of all, couples who trusted us with moments that still matter. That year was packed. New venues. A blizzard. We ordered more dusty miller than we thought could safely exist in the world, and greenery was having a moment. Features landed because the work spoke for itself. We saw our flowers in print, on glossy pages people actually saved, and across platforms that shaped the wedding world at the time.

Our rebrand had already happened a couple years prior, during our tenth anniversary, so 2016 was about momentum: refining who we were, deepening relationships, and building a body of work that still feels like us.

The way we share has changed, but the heart of it hasn’t. Great clients. Thoughtful design. And stories that age beautifully. 💐

Amanda & Matt’s winter wedding was a complete VIBE with so many fabulous details revealing themselves as you looked more closely. We reveled in the trust this couple had in us to create something that was just for them, and we couldn’t have been more ELATED with the final result! Looking forward to so many more unique weddings this coming year!!!⁣
