Blush Sulgrave Club Wedding in Washington DC

Lush, classic and romantic were words Kelly and Jim shared to describe what they wanted for their Sulgrave Club wedding. We chose a palette of soft hues – blushes, pale pinks, and classic whites punctuated with soft green foliages. Textured but tailored in style, Kelly’s bridal bouquet was a showstopper. Designed around champagne Sahara roses, and ivory roses and spray roses, and white lisianthus, summer garden touches of Café au Lait dahlia, light pink astilbe, white veronica and pops of a deeper peach spray rose gave a gardeny dimension to the bouquet. The bridesmaids carried complementary bouquets of Vendela and Sahara roses, ivory spray roses, white lisianthus, light pink astilbe, and white veronica accented with seeded eucalyptus foliage, wrapped with blush satin ribbon. Jim’s boutonnière was designed with an ivory Vendela rose accented with artful loops of bear grass. For the remaining boutonnières, we combined champagne Sahara roses with bear grass.

Ceremony and Reception

Following the ceremony at the St. Gabriel’s Church, the guests were treated to a Sulgrave Club wedding designed in classic hues of peach, champagne, pale pink and ivory with touches of green. Adding to the venue’s already stunning reception spaces were the couple’s two unique guest table centerpiece concepts. For half the guest tables, silver candelabras held elevated designs of white hydrangea, peach stock, champagne roses, ivory spray roses, Café au Lait dahlia, white lisianthus and light pink astilbe finished with touches of salal and seeded eucalyptus foliage. Thee remaining tables featured a silver mercury glass bowl with bountiful white hydrangea, peach stock, champagne roses, ivory spray roses, Café auLait dahlia, white lisianthus, light pink astilbe, and white veronica, accented with seeded eucalyptus foliage. For a sweet finishing touch, we crowned Kelly and Jim’s cake with beautiful blooms, and provided a pretty toss bouquet for Kelly to throw.

Classic with a fall twist! Touches of blush, dark brown hues of magnolia and nine bark, plus a touch of “colonial blue” to befit the setting. Perfection.

Katie + Jake’s wedding was PURE SPRING. 🌸⁣
⁣
Peonies, Juliet garden roses, ranunculus, sweet pea, stock, campanula... Basically all the flowers you hope will show up when someone tells you they’re getting married in May.⁣
⁣
We kept everything loose and gardeny, in peaches, soft blush, white and those wonderful slightly faded greens that keep pastels from becoming too sugary. And at Woodlawn, surrounded by actual spring? So, so pretty.⁣
This is exactly why May flowers have my heart.⁣
Their reception arrangements continued that mix of garden roses, tea roses, spray roses, ranunculus, butterfly ranunculus, campanula and sweet pea.⁣

One of my favorite moments at every St. Francis Hall wedding is right before the ceremony begins. The room fills with that quiet anticipation as guests take their seats and the flowers finally become part of the scene they were designed for.⁣
⁣
For Alexandra & Sam’s ceremony, the stage was framed with a lush, deconstructed arch, creating a focal point against the hall’s burgundy proscenium drape. As the music began and Alexandra walked down the aisle, everything came together in that way it only does once. The architecture, the flowers, the lighting, and two people about to start their marriage. It is always a privilege to help shape that moment.⁣

A tented reception. Ceremony urns overflowing with white hydrangea and gladiola. Centerpieces that looked like they were plucked straight from an English country garden. Rachael and Scott`s Woodlawn wedding was everything. 🤍 This is exactly why we love what we do, taking a venue`s natural beauty and letting the flowers just... amplify it. Historic, romantic, and completely unforgettable. 🌿✨⁣

Theres something about September that always feels like a turning point. The days are still warm, but the morning is a bit cooler. School is back in session. The light starts to change. And after a long DC summer, you do all get that first day when you can open the door and think, yes, fall really is coming. 🍁

For me fall has always been tied to the rhythm of the school year. Kids going back to school and calendars filling up. Pulling sweaters out of the back of the closet, and thinking about Halloween before you’re quite ready to admit summer is over.

In the studio, autumn has another rhythm. September and October weddings - arguably our busiest time of the year - paired with all sorts of fun things. Pods, berries, grasses and all sorts of funky things.

I think there’s a reason fall weddings always feel so right. It’s a season built around change. The landscape shifts, the light softens, the year begins winding down… and in the midst of that, two people choose to begin something.

Maybe that’s what I love about this time of year. Autumn can feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. So here’s to another fall wedding season, changing leaves, cooler nights (no mosquitoes), celebrations and all the new beginnings still ahead.
