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.

Where should we put flowers? It`s one of the questions couples ask us most often, and sometimes the answer is surprisingly practical!⁣
⁣
For Trevor and Jermaine`s fall wedding at the Salamander Resort in Middleburg, the celebration took place in the Culinary Garden, a beautiful outdoor space with winding paths, beautiful greenery and little spaces tucked around every corner. A gorgeous setting, but how do guests know where they`re supposed to go?⁣
⁣
Flowers, of course!⁣
⁣
We placed these fabulous fall urn arrangements atop large barrels to help guide guests through the garden. Mounds of autumn hydrangea, dahlias, garden roses and branches of bittersweet brought the most delicious shades of burgundy, rust, orange and gold to the arrangements. They looked right at home among the changing leaves, and made it easy for guests to find their way.⁣

Who needs directional signs when you can have flowers this pretty?!⁣

Fall foliage with the soft touch of pastel blooms. We could happily spend all of November working with this combination!!

Emma and Andrew’s Decatur House wedding gave us the chance to mix peach and blush roses with branches in copper, burgundy and golden yellow. Starting with that chuppah! We let the foliage reach out beyond the dark wood frame, with flowers tucked all the way down the posts.

Inside the reception, garden roses, dahlias, autumn leaves and touches of fruit filled gold compotes, alongside tables with elevated candlelight and smaller floral arrangements. Soft pinks, burnt orange, gold and plenty of texture. There was so much to love about this November wedding, and we’re especially partial to the lush foliage!

Burgundy, burnt orange, peach and toffee. Quite the color combination for a spring evening! We’d happily revisit this palette now that November is here.⁣

Because of the volume of tables at this corporate event at Union Station, we didn`t just design tall arrangements, we placed them atop gold Harlow stands in two varying heights, giving the flowers a little up-and-down movement across the East Hall. Antique green hydrangea, roses and magnolia foliage looked right at home against those mustard drapes. And those blue-and-gold floral linens? So much fun to design flowers around!!⁣
⁣
Over in the Presidential Room, generous urn arrangements and a central statement piece dressed the cocktail reception. An evening that gave us plenty of opportunities to go big with flowers, in one spectacular DC setting.⁣

When your bride describes her style as “coastal granny chic,” you KNOW we’re going to have fun with the flowers!!! 💙⁣
⁣
Think gobs of hydrangea, delphinium and garden roses, blue and white Chinoiserie vases, and plenty of candlelight. Classic, relaxed, and just the right amount of coastal granny! Consider us OBSESSED with Alexandria & Kevin`s wedding at the Riggs Hotel!!!⁣
