Classic Art Gallery Wedding

Classic Art Gallery Wedding

Roseann and Mike had a beautiful, classic art gallery wedding at the Corcoran Gallery of Art this past March. The Corcoran is already a stunning building, originally designed by James Renwick to house a stellar collection of art and sculpture. And this particular day did not disappoint either!  March has truly been “in like a lion” – but this was one of those rare lamb-like days we were treated to.

One of the things I vividly remember when meeting Rosann to discuss her wedding flowers was that she was certain she wanted roses for her bouquet – because she never gets them.  I could tell she was someone who was not unfamiliar with flowers, but she could still see that roses were something special.  Tulips, on the other hand, felt like something more typical. And so roses she had!

Both ceremony and reception took place at the museum.  The ceremony decor was simple but elegant – two lush, classic designs of hydrangea, lilac and roses on gold glass vases which flanked the couple on  pedestals.

The reception featured long tables dressed in a gold brocade linen.  A rich display of white flowers – roses, hydrangea, stock, lilac, fringe and straight-edged tulips, and sweet pea – were housed in glass vases of varying heights.  Interspersed with pillar candles, the flowers created a monochromatic “runner” extending down the length of the tables.

December has been a whirlwind. Weddings. Holiday parties. Installing holiday décor around town. The kind of month where the days blur and the studio never quite sleeps.

But one of the most meaningful moments has come through our involvement with Wish Upon a Wedding, an organization that grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing serious illness or life-altering circumstances.

At the Citizen Ballroom, we helped bring Tiffianni & Minerva’s vow renewal to life. Their vision was unapologetically floral. A sweeping staircase installation layered in greenery. Flowers in saturated shades of fuchsia and purple. A lush deconstructed floral arch that framed their vows and later their sweetheart table. Tables glowed with flowers, candles, and lamps. The temperature may have been in the teens outside but inside was only warmth and light rooted in love.

We began this year donating flowers to laid-off federal employees and end it celebrating Tiffianni & Minerva. Because this year hasn’t just been about decorating spaces. It’s about lifting spirits with flowers and helping to mark moments in meaningful ways.
