Classic Omni Shoreham Wedding

Classic Omni Shoreham Wedding

Floating candles interspersed between flowers.

The Omni Shoreham Hotel is such a gem in Washington. Overlooking Rock Creek Park, the hotel boasts not only a grand interior, but the gardens are a stunning oasis of flowering gardens and a gazebo that overlooks the wooded park. Laura and Ben’s wedding at the Omni early May wedding featured a classic palette of whites alternated with rich shades of purple and blue. Laura’s bouquet for her classic Omni Shoreham wedding featured a spring mix of white lilac, peonies, ranunculus and anemone, while her groom sported a matching boutonniere of white ranunculus.

Last minute threats of rain forced the ceremony indoors into the Ambassador Ballroom, but the festivity was not compromised in the least.  Laura and Ben were married beneath a garden-inspired chuppah featuring an overlay of curly willow branches tucked with purple larkspur, lavender roses and stock, and touches of light blue delphinium. Purple lilac draping from the top creating the feel of wisteria vines. Despite moving indoors, the ceremony retained every feel of a classic Omni Shoreham wedding ceremony. Clutches of lavender stock, roses, and lisianthus finished with an ivory ribbon bow were attached to the chairs along the aisle.

Cocktails in the Palladian Room preceded the reception in the Empire Ballroom.  For the escort card table, a silver urn was centered atop a patterns gray linen and filled with a design of purple and lavender larkspur and stock accented with light blue delphinium.

 

 

Atop gray linens, round tables featured a glass footed bowl with a rich, garden arrangement of white hydrangea purple stock, ivory roses, and plum ranunculus accented with lavender and purple sweet pea and tulips. Cylinder vases with floating candles completed the design. For the longer rectangle tables, a rich garden design of white hydrangea, stock, roses and ranunculus accented with lavender sweet pea filled a mix of glassware, including glass rectangle vases of varying heights and small compote bowls extended along the length of the table.  Stemmed votives with floating candles added a romantic touch of candlelight. The classic Omni Shoreham wedding was impeccable from start to finish.

We are back at Woodend this coming week, and it has us reminiscing about Amanda and Jack’s whimsical, wonderful, William Morris-inspired dream of a wedding with an Art Nouveau twist. The wedding layered bohemian textures, vintage details, woodland creatures and, of course, romantic blooms into a palette that felt both grounded and poetic. Think climbing vines, golden light, and flowers that felt like they had stepped out of an heirloom wallpaper print - in the best way. We’re still swooning. 💫

A rooftop celebration that proves timeless can still be bold. For Elaine & Trey’s wedding at Capitol View at 400, we leaned into classic green and white, but elevated it with sculptural greenery installations, gold Harlow stands, and skyline views that stretched for miles. A ceiling of foliage softened the tented space, while sleek black bridesmaid dresses added contrast and edge. Clean, refined, and impossibly romantic.
