Classic Capitol View at 400 Wedding

August 31, 2021

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.

We were thrilled to hear that the gem of a Georgetown venue, the City Tavern Club, was purchased and is no longer closing! A gorgeous historic space, the venue is situated in the heart of Georgetown and lends itself perfectly to elegant, classic affairs in its beautifully appointed space. It was the perfect site for Alexandra & Peter`s classic green and white floral palette, filled with roses, stock, larskpur and peonies, and truly evoked a timeless feeling.⁣

Lavender isn’t a palette we get to work with too often, sadly, but when we do, we’re so excited to incorporate some of those gorgeous purple blooms like clematis, campanula and astrantia.⁣
Michelle and Sam’s wedding day at the Fairmont was straight out of a purple wonderland!⁣
