Candlelit Wedding at Women in the Arts

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.

Did you know that baby’s breath can be a showstopper all on its own? 🌟 

At Meaghan & David’s Willard Hotel wedding, we used this delicate bloom to create everything from airy, elevated centerpieces to rings of the tiny flowers to circle candles and lush runners on the head table. The result? A look that’s both ethereal and elegant, proving that baby’s breath can be more than just a filler flower. It’s a versatile, often budget-friendly option that brings a soft, romantic vibe to any wedding. Who’s ready to fall in love with this understated beauty? 😍

Moody palettes don’t have to wait for October. For Alexandra & Sam’s spring wedding at St. Francis Hall, we built the design on deep burgundy roses, moody mauves and deep plum fritillaria, the last a flower uniquely available in early spring. To keep the look from tipping too dark, we layered in Sahara Sensation spray roses, peach stock, and quince branches for lightness and movement. Loose and airy aisle pieces added whimsy, while a deconstructed arch and gold-rimmed candles brought romance. The result was dramatic without ever feeling heavy. Romantic, fresh, and unmistakably spring.
