Classic White Wedding

Classic White Wedding

For Elizabeth and Josh’s classic white wedding at the Mandarin Oriental, we brought a crisp and tailored modern garden elegance inside – and the effect was exquisite!

Wedding Palette

Elizabeth’s hand-tied bridal bouquet was a study in timeless classic wedding white. It featured Tibet roses, ranunculus, lisianthus, and dendrobium orchid blossoms, wrapped with ivory double-faced satin ribbon. Each of Elizabeth’s bridesmaids carried lush, French hand-tied bouquets of Tibet roses accented with silver dollar eucalyptus foliage, while her junior bridesmaid‘s bouquet was similar, but smaller.

Ceremony and Reception

For the ceremony, dramatic arrangements were set atop pedestals at the entrance to the aisle. Each was a classic white wedding design of hydrangea, stock, roses and spray roses, and lisianthus, along with lemon leaf and silver dollar eucalyptus foliage. An elegant aisle runner of pristine white fabric was pinned in place, awaiting the bridal party’s entrance. Elizabeth and Josh’s nuptials took place under a classic wedding chuppah, constructed of four corner poles covered with sleeves of natural white fabric and a canopy of the same material. Two stunning sprays of posies accented the front corners of the chuppah. Each posy was design using a mix of white stock, hydrangea, roses, lisianthus, and silver dollar eucalyptus foliage. The design was finished with elegant white dendrobium orchids.

Elements of a Classic Wedding Reception

At the reception, a mix of two distinct but complementary designs created movement in the ballroom. Hal of the tables featured a tall, gold mercury glass vase. The vase was topped with a classic white wedding design of white hydrangea, stock, roses, spray roses, and lisianthus, complemented with touches of lemon leaf and silver dollar eucalyptus foliage. The balance of the tables featured a gold mercury glass bowl. The bowl was filled with a richly textured design of classic whites – hydrangea, stock, roses, dahlia, and lisianthus with tailored touches of silver dollar eucalyptus foliage.

Some weddings are magic. ✨

This one just took a cart, a loading dock, stairs, ramps, 250 feet of hallway, and a very determined florist team.

Here’s what you don’t see in the final gallery: the cardio, the zip ties, the setup hustle. But would we do it all again for this dreamy blue-and-white moment we created for Jenni & Aaron at the Omni Shoreham? Absolutely.

Some weddings are sweet.

This one? Smart, stylish, and just a little unexpected.

At Eaton DC, where there’s a record player in the lobby and intention in every detail, we brought florals that nodded to tradition. White and blush, gold compotes, lush greenery - and then we slipped in a few surprises (hello, orchids). From a ceremony full of movement to tall reception designs that played with height and shape, this wedding proved modern love doesn’t have to be minimal.
