It was a gorgeous day in November when Larissa and Sean wed at the Carnegie Institution. We not only had the pleasure of doing their flowers, but were also pleased to help them with the management of their big day! We always enjoy joining couples for the whole wedding day, since it gives us an opportunity to get to know them and their families a little better.
Larissa carried a bouquet of simply gorgeous ivory and champagne-toned roses, accented with petite ivory spray roses. Her bridesmaids matched her with bouquets of ivory roses.
There is nothing more gorgeous then the rotunda at the Carnegie Institute for a wedding ceremony!! The couple was flanked by two large arrangements or ivory and white flower on pillars, with matching ones in the alcoves. The altar pieces were later moved to the two spaces on the other side of the rotunda, completing the look for the dancing later.
Oh the details!! While we can’t take credit for the ideas, we certainly had fun setting them up for them! The couple had a DC-themed brunch wedding, complete with vintage DC postcards for the guests to leave their thoughts for the couple, mini-vintage post office boxes for the cards and table names based on DC landmarks. And what is more fitting than a Sunday crossword puzzle (with clues from the couple’s life together!) and pop tarts from Ted’s Bulletin for brunch?
The day ended with a sword arch from the groom’s Navy groomsmen and friends, whisking them off to an afternoon taking photos together at the monuments in a vintage car! It was the perfect DC wedding. We wish Larissa and Sean all the best for a long and happy life together!!
