Classic Capitol View at 400 Wedding

Classic Capitol View at 400 Wedding

Wedding portrait with flying veil

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.

It was an honor to work with Erin and Ben to bring their classic Capitol View wedding vision to life. We wish you many years of happiness together!

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨ 

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea! 

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨ 

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level 

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance
