Classic Mount Vernon Inn Wedding

Classic Mount Vernon Inn Wedding

Sweet southern charm and elegance is how we would describe Erin and Connor’s early May wedding this past spring. The classic Mount Vernon Inn wedding featured a color scheme of bright corals, light pinks, and whites with lush, leafy green accents, the style radiated a classic and timeless sensibility. Erin carried a gorgeous bouquet of peonies in white, light pink and coral accented with roses and ranunculus in the same shades and finished with touches of camellia foliage.  Conor’s boutonniere was designed using a white ranunculus blossom and camellia.

Before the ceremony, the wedding party toured Old Town, taking photos amidst the creeping greenery, cobblestone streets, and brick alleyways. The bridesmaids carried bouquets similar to Erin’s, using coral peonies, ivory roses, pale coral roses, and light pink ranunculus accented with camellia.

A silver urn filled with flowers in whites, peaches, pinks and corals was centered on the escort card table – epitomizing the style for this classic Mount Vernon Inn wedding. The mix of hydrangea, stock, roses, spray roses, tulips, and anemone created romantic and vintage textures in the classic container. The reception tables were mixed between rounds and long communal dining table, with different styles of containers for each. Complementing the vintage style of the wedding, flowers filled an eclectic mix of silver, mercury glass, depression glass and milk glass were used to hold a festive mix of spring flowers. Hydrangea, stock, roses, ranunculus, tulips, anemone and peonies accented with the rich green of camellia leaves filled the mix of containers, and brought a bright spot of spring to the traditional, colonial decor of the site.

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! 🍋🌼
