Classic Women in the Arts Wedding

The weekend of Sarah and Neil’s wedding started with a gorgeous rehearsal dinner hosted by the groom’s parents at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab. The flowers for the dinner were a gorgeous spring mix of tulips, stock and roses in shades of orange and peach, accented with bright spring greens.

For the classic Women in the Arts wedding the following day, the bride chose a more simple and clean color palette of whites with touches of peaches and light pinks in a classic style. For her bouquet, white phalaenopsis orchid blossoms floated over a dome of ivory roses and spray roses, while the bridesmaids carried simple, elegant bouquets of ivory roses accented with peach garden roses.

The tall table centerpieces did double duty during the ceremony, creating an altar space for the couple. The centerpieces featured white hydrangea, peach roses, lisianthus and stock, accented with touches of salal foliage for looseness and texture. The peach tones in the arrangements complimented the colors of the Women’s Museum beautifully! We always love working there!

Can’t decide what we loved more: the dreamy draped foliage behind Kate & Sam`s sweetheart table or that lush, scene-stealing greenery arch. Honestly, it’s giving "Both, please." Which one would you pick?⁣

When Kim & Andrew dreamed of a wedding that was both modern and a little bit whimsical, we knew just the direction to take. ✨ At the ever-stylish Hotel Monaco, crisp white roses appeared to bloom from a cloud-like runner baby`s breath into a design that felt sleek, romantic, and effortlessly timeless. The result? A monochromatic moment that proves white isn’t basic. It’s bold, romantic, and stunning in any season.⁣

It’s never just an arch.

For Kelly & Ross’ ceremony, we started with River Bend Club’s classic symmetry and used it to guide every design decision, from the shape of the arch to how the flowers were layered for movement and softness. Greenery grounded the structure, and white blooms floated above like clouds. Every choice is about visual flow, guest experience, and the couple at the center of it all (including their dog, who clearly understood the assignment 🐾).

Summer may still be in full swing, but our minds? They’re starting to turn toward fall. 🍂⁣

And what better way to ease into the season than with Emma & Andrew`s` lush, foliage-forward celebration at Decatur House? From the colorful autumn arch to a clear-top tent twinkling with thousands of fairy lights, this wedding practically glowed.⁣

A Study in Simplicity.

White roses. Baby’s breath. Taper candles. Bud vases. That’s it! Except it’s everything. For this modern black-and-white wedding at the Hotel Monaco, the impact wasn’t in the quantity. It was in the intention. Every floral element was thoughtfully placed to enhance the space, not overwhelm it.

We’re big believers in letting design whisper, not shout, and this one spoke volumes.

A stately deconstructed autumnal arch for a stately DC venue. Christine and Denis said “I do” before a warm, textural canopy at the National Press Club, bursting with dahlias, pampas, roses, and curly willow. Proof that fall florals can feel both elegant and organic. 🍂 ⁣
