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.

Pastels are having a moment, but the *real* magic is in the pairing. For Clara & John’s wedding at DAR, soft, romantic blooms were styled alongside timeless Chinoiserie details, creating a look that was equal parts elegant and unexpected.
Layering florals with statement vessels and pattern play brings depth to your tablescape and keeps your design feeling editorial and intentional from start to finish.

Black taper candles, white pumpkins, rust-toned bunny tails, and fall foliages were just a few of the stellar details that made Ashley & Brett’s wedding at the Hotel Monaco a total VIBE! 🍂

Framing a space can be just as impactful as filling it.

At Hotel Monaco, drama lives in the details. Soaring columns, bold architecture, quirky design. For Hannah & Mike’s wedding, we wrapped lush smilax around the columns to emphasize the room’s grandeur, and suspended the chuppah canopy between them. Designed in soft lavender and honey tones, the floral palette added warmth and softness to the ballroom’s rich interiors. Honey-hued rope taper candles added a textural glow around the base of each design.

Sometimes, it’s about how you place the flowers, not just which ones you choose.
