Candlelit Wedding at Women in the Arts

This past January we were delighted to be a part of Christine and Michael’s romantic wedding at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. The candlelit wedding Women in the Arts museum featured candles as the item of the night – the bridesmaids carried pillar candles (in glass vases) instead of bouquets that they placed on an altar table after they processed down the aisle, and tables of candles were placed along the back rows. The candles at the back of the aisle also doubled as table centerpieces, keeping the glow alive for the rich, warm reception! Our staff stayed through the ceremony so that we could help for the transition, and we all agreed that it was one of the most personal and touching ceremonies we had ever had the privilege to witness. The bride and groom had the officiant tell their love story, which was both funny and sweet – not a dry eye was in the house when it was over! Thank you to Christine and Michael for letting us be a part of your joyous candlelit wedding at Women in the Arts museum celebration.

Tall, bold, and unapologetically pink 💖

Caren & Aaron’s wedding at the always-stylish Hotel Monaco DC was a maximalist floral dream! Think king protea, astilbe, tulips, succulents, even pineapple accents!🍍 All artfully arranged to bring their vibrant vision to life. We had so much fun leaning into texture, color, and unexpected elements in this design.

If you’ve got big ideas, we’re all ears (and petals! And even pineapples 😜 ). Tap the link in bio to start dreaming!⁣

Some weddings are magic. ✨

This one just took a cart, a loading dock, stairs, ramps, 250 feet of hallway, and a very determined florist team.

Here’s what you don’t see in the final gallery: the cardio, the zip ties, the setup hustle. But would we do it all again for this dreamy blue-and-white moment we created for Jenni & Aaron at the Omni Shoreham? Absolutely.

We might be known for our willingness to flower just about anything! And when we were asked to floral the trunk of a vintage car, of course we were game! As guests arrived to the event, it served as the perfect photo moment! Just ask this chic guest 😊⁣

Some weddings are sweet.
 This one? Smart, stylish, and just a little unexpected.

At Eaton DC, where there’s a record player in the lobby and intention in every detail, we brought florals that nodded to tradition. White and blush, gold compotes, lush greenery - and then we slipped in a few surprises (hello, orchids). From a ceremony full of movement to tall reception designs that played with height and shape, this wedding proved modern love doesn’t have to be minimal.

Anam & Patrick’s wedding at the Mayflower Hotel was a floral fairytale in every sense. Their ceremony began with a grand statement: elevated urns overflowing with hydrangea, roses, spray roses, and stock framed the aisle and altar, setting the tone for a day filled with romance. Inside the ballroom, a luxurious palette of soft pinks, ivory, and blush transformed the space. Tall, classic centerpieces on gold Harlow stands added height and elegance, while matching low arrangements brought intimacy to the tables. Long tables featured crystal candelabra with pale pink taper candles, nestled among petite floral clusters of hydrangea and roses for a warm, glowing ambiance. The sweetheart table was framed with a lush garland and flickering candlelight - the perfect touch for a perfect night.⁣

Anna & Austin’s wedding day was the picture of fresh elegance, with lush white flowers, soft powder blue details, and the most charming lemon accents woven throughout. From the sweet citrus place cards at each setting to the bright, joyful palette, every detail brought a playful sophistication that felt just right for summer. A design that was as fresh as it was timeless.⁣
