Classic Capitol View at 400 Wedding

Located in what feels like arm’s length to the Capitol sits the aptly named Capitol View at 400. This is not our first wedding at this venue. In the past year and a half, as more of our clients have sought out sites with outdoor options, it has quickly become one of our favorite wedding spots. Last spring, Erin and Ben celebrated their nuptials here, and we could not have been more elated to create a classic Capitol View at 400 wedding for them! In true DC wedding fashion, the day began with classic green and white bouquets and boutonnieres, portraits around the Capitol, and an elegant ceremony at St. Peter’s Church on Capitol Hill.

Following the ceremony, the reception proceeded to Capitol View at 400. It’s most definitely all about view at the venue. In keeping with this, the classic Capitol View at 400 wedding came to life with simple centerpieces in gold pedestal bowls of hydrangea, roses, lisianthus, roses, spray roses, and greenery throughout the reception space. As a finishing touch, an elegant sprig of eucalyptus foliage was placed at each napkin.The head table was the real show-stopper: A long captain’s style table seated the wedding party on one side, with the bridal and bridesmaids’ bouquets placed along the length of the table, each interspersed with a romantic glass-enclosed pillar candles of varying heights. Even the cake was decorated with in classic whites and greens, the perfect finishing touch.

A ceremony space that proves minimal can still be magical. 🌿✨

Amanda & Matthew exchanged vows beneath a ceiling accented with smilax and twinkle lights, and a backdrop of Italian ruscus. Two wine barrels grounded the scene, each topped with loose, organic arrangements in soft winter whites and lush greens—perfectly at home in this modern winery space.

Simple. Airy. Effortlessly romantic. Just how we like it.

Who’s ready to party? 🪩 ⁣

For Kim & Andrew’s wedding at the Hotel Monaco, we transformed the band backdrop into a statement moment - because if it’s going to end up in half your reception photos, it might as well steal the show! Cascading clouds of gypsophila and sparkling disco balls made sure the party looked as good as it felt.⁣

A little disco, a little drama, and a whole lot of fun. ✨ The band backdrop ends up in so many of your wedding reception photos, why not make a statement with it?⁣

When the setting is this charming and the florals this lush, magic is bound to happen. ✨

Rachael & Scott tied the knot at the historic Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House, where the garden-style ceremony was filled with elegance, emotion, and a gentle breeze of fall romance.

Their floral story? Creamy Café au Lait dahlias, textural greens, and dramatic touches of burgundy brought a wild-yet-refined feel to the day. From loose bouquets scented with eucalyptus to floral-filled urns and centerpieces that felt freshly gathered from an autumn garden, every detail whispered elegance.

This is fall wedding season in full bloom, and we loved every petal of it!

When the ceiling says no, we say get creative. 💡⁣

For Alex & Ryan’s wedding at the Westin Georgetown, we designed a custom elevated floral moment to frame their head table, creating a picture window of blooms that felt romantic, architectural, and completely unexpected. Proof that with the right design approach, even logistical limits can lead to showstopping results.⁣

It’s not just flowers. It’s scene setting.

For this installation at St. Francis Hl, the black lacquer of a grand piano met its match: a sculptural floral arrangement in moody burgundy, plum, and blush tones, punctuated by the texture of quince branches and dozens of candle flames casting a golden glow. We wanted the design to feel rich, romantic, and composed… like the prelude to a love story.

Because your wedding should feel like a movie, and every detail should help set the tone.

A view from above, and a wedding worth the climb.⁣

Alex & John’s timeless celebration at the Larz Anderson House was the definition of classic romance. White blooms layered with texture and grace, perfectly suited to the gilded elegance of this historic DC venue. Proof that a white palette never goes out of season.⁣
