Caroline knew that she wanted rich oranges and blues with touches of white for her bouquet and her bridesmaids. We designed a beautiful suite of blooms that included roses and dahlia in oranges and whites, orange orchids and ranunculus and finished with accents of blue delphinium and eucalyptus. With blue as Caroline’s favorite color, her groom Corey wore a blue delphinium boutonniere to finish his attire.

The ceremony and reception took place at Mount Vernon Inn, the restaurant on the grounds of George Washington’s Mount Vernon historic estate. The sunken garden was transformed for the ceremony with an aisle of pumpkins in shades of peach, blue-green and white, culminating in two dramatic altar designs in copper urns atop pedestals.

The color scheme for the reception consisted of whites, oranges and blues with pops of sage green. Chic Chinoiserie inspired wedding details started with the escort  card table, where a banded ginger jar vase was filled with hydrangea, blue delphinium, orange dahlia and roses, and finished with eucalyptus greeted guests. Blue-white patterned Chinoiserie vases graced the tables in the ballroom, each filled with a rich mix of orchids, delphinium, dahlia and roses.

Theres something about September that always feels like a turning point. The days are still warm, but the morning is a bit cooler. School is back in session. The light starts to change. And after a long DC summer, you do all get that first day when you can open the door and think, yes, fall really is coming. 🍁 

For me fall has always been tied to the rhythm of the school year. Kids going back to school and calendars filling up. Pulling sweaters out of the back of the closet, and thinking about Halloween before you’re quite ready to admit summer is over. 

In the studio, autumn has another rhythm. September and October weddings - arguably our busiest time of the year - paired with all sorts of fun things. Pods, berries, grasses and all sorts of funky things. 

I think there’s a reason fall weddings always feel so right. It’s a season built around change. The landscape shifts, the light softens, the year begins winding down… and in the midst of that, two people choose to begin something. 

Maybe that’s what I love about this time of year. Autumn can feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. So here’s to another fall wedding season, changing leaves, cooler nights (no mosquitoes), celebrations and all the new beginnings still ahead.
Classic roses. Ethereal baby’s breath. And bleached ruscus for some fashion forward style. Classic with an edge.
Come in. We’ve been expecting you. 🖤
