Venue Spotlight: Chevy Chase Club

The Chevy Chase Club in Maryland, just over the Washington, DC border, is a truly beautiful and historic venue. Though it looks unassuming from the road, the venue features rolling lawns and stunning classic architecture, the Chevy Chase Club is a beautiful setting for a wedding – indoors and out. The ballroom’s traditional neutral décor allows for enhancement in your own personal style.

Pro Tips

First impressions are lasting ones. Greet guests at the door with a grand design on the escort card table.

The reception space features lots of light and an airy feel. Go classic with whites and green – but don’t be afraid to bring in color if that’s your jam! Both approaches are equally at home.

We love a wow moment. Make a statement with a long head table or King’s Tables in the reception space. For a more intimate feel, pair low centerpieces with lots and lots of candles. Having a band? A lush band front of flowers make the festivities that much more extra! Wondering how to make that work? An aisle treatment from the ceremony can serve dual purpose in front of the band.

Ready to really go big? Look at the ceiling! There’s much potential here from dream suspended installations to other inventive elements.

Lastly, don’t forget the fireplace mantels! Decorating these built in architectural features is an easy way to bring your own personality into the space.

No inspiration photos. No flower list. No detailed design brief. Just a color palette and the freedom to run with it.

We took fuchsia, purple, and blue and turned them into layers of saturated color, unexpected textures, and flowers that made the whole room feel alive.

There’s something pretty magical about a client giving us a direction and then getting out of the way. They know their brand. We know flowers. And this is what happens when everyone trusts each other to do what they do best.

Give us the colors. We’ll take it from there. 🌸

The bouquet is often the first place a couple’s floral vision comes to life. It is the piece everyone notices up close, and it quietly sets the tone for the entire wedding design.⁣
⁣
For Mandana & Jan’s St. Francis Hall wedding, Mandana carried a cascading bouquet of white anemone, burgundy hanging amaranthus, roses and spray roses in shades of burgundy and cream, and burgundy protea accented with eucalyptus and jasmine vine. The shapes were bold and sculptural, which gave the bouquet a modern feeling while still feeling elegant against the historic backdrop of the hall. When a bouquet reflects the personality of the couple, it becomes more than just flowers. It becomes part of the story of the day.⁣

There’s something really special about designing flowers for a venue that already feels immersed in the landscape around it.⁣

At the Dockmaster Building, the water, sky, reflections, and light become part of the experience. The floor-to-ceiling glass and panoramic waterfront views create a setting that feels airy, modern, and completely different from the more traditional DC wedding venues we work in so often.⁣

We loved leaning into that atmosphere for Claire & Sean`s wedding with flowers that felt organic, textural, and romantic without competing with the architecture or the view.⁣
