Classic Blue Wedding at Meridian House

Classic Blue Wedding at Meridian House

It was such an honor to work with Miriam and Ben, one of our first weddings of May, for an elegant classic blue wedding at Meridian House. The palette of shades of blue, grays and whites suited the site perfectly and allowed for a rich array of spring flowers. Miriam and Ben’s ceremony took place in the garden, surrounded by the natural beauty of the outdoors.  We loved the small white dendrobium orchids fashioned for Miriam’s hair. Miriam opted for color for her bouquet – a rich array of dark and light blue delphinium, blue muscari, gray succulents, silver dusty miller, and white ranunculus.  Her bridesmaids carried simpler bouquets in white – lisianthus, ranunculus and lisianthus – which contrasted with their deep blue dresses. Ben’s boutonniere complemented the blue from Miriam’s bouquet, while the rest of the men wore white lisianthus blossoms on their lapels.

An expressive design of blue delphinium, white dendrobium orchids and white snapdragons centered the escort card table, a striking welcome for the classic blue wedding at Meridian House. More intimate designs were placed on the dining tables. A classic, silver bowl held a rich, textured design of blue hydrangea, light and dark blue delphinium, blue muscari, gray succulents and dusty miller, and white stock and ranunculus.

When couples ask why large ceremony installations cost what they do, this is part of the answer.

The flowers matter, of course. But so do the ladders, mechanics, installation team, engineering, timing, and experience required to safely transform a space at scale.

This greenery-covered dome at the Omni Shoreham started as a simple structure and became a transformed garden canopy for a few short hours. Then, just as quickly, it came down.
That’s the strange thing about wedding flowers. Hundreds of stems. Hours of work. One beautiful moment.

And apparently one bee who felt qualified to supervise the entire project. 🐝

Rainy wedding weekends just hit different. Blue patterned linens, chinoiserie vases, garden inspired blooms in shades of peach, white, green, and blue, plus bridesmaids in the prettiest soft blue created a design that felt equal parts timeless and romantic. Proof that a little rain only makes the flowers look better. ☔️🩵

One more time for the people in the back! 😂 A night in St. Barth’s… right here on the Potomac!✨ 

We were so honored to help celebrate the launch of Vol. 11 of The Scout Guide Alexandria and toast the exciting next chapter under new owner Kerry Delaney at the beautiful Jula’s on the Potomac.
We leaned all the way into the St. Barth’s theme, with a cascading floral piece in the entry to set the tone as guests arrived. A daisy-filled installation over the bar brought that effortless island charm. Baskets overflowing with lemons and olive foliage added a French Caribbean warmth throughout the space, and touches of yellow kept everything feeling sun-drenched and joyful.

We’re so proud to be part of a guide that champions small businesses and celebrates creativity in our community. Supporting local means investing in the makers, doers, and dreamers who make Alexandria vibrant — and The Scout Guide does just that, beautifully.
Cheers to Vol. 11 and to all that’s ahead for Kerry and this incredible community! 🍋🌼
