Blizzard Wedding at National Museum of Women in the Arts

Snowzilla!! A short story of a blizzard wedding at the Nationar Women in the Arts…

As some may remember, the Washington, DC area had the dubious treat of getting more than 2′ of snow dumped on us in January of 2016 over the course of one weekend. Unfortunately for everyone involved, that weekend we had two weddings booked. With the help of all of their guests and vendors pulling together, this bride and groom still got their dream wedding! The wedding was held at the National Museum of Women in the Arts on a Friday night just as the snow started falling. To try to get ahead of the storm, the wedding was moved up a day. And entire day! All of the vendors were able to move from a Saturday night event to Friday so that we avoided the worst of the snow.

Nyleen’s gorgeous bridal bouquet included ivory and pale pink roses and snowball white peonies for an elegant, lush and wintry look. The bridesmaids carried simply elegant ivory roses.

Ethereal and cloud-like puffs of baby’s breath set on silver stands and pillars flanked the ceremony space, and were later repurposed for table centerpieces.  The low centerpieces included classic domes of ivory roses in mirror strip vases.  Greeting the guests as they arrived in from the cold was a dramatic spray of callas, orchids, larkspur, gladiola, snapdragons and silver glitter branches.

We are so pleased to be a part of the team that helped this couple have their day despite the weather!

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨ 

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea! 

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

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
