Colorful DC War Memorial Wedding

It’s been the year of best laid plans, hasn’t it? Danyel and Jeff had initially planned their wedding to take place at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, but COVID put a dent in both their wedding AND life plans! Circumstances forced a move to another city, and so to make the best of things, they got married in their beloved DC before making their move. While far from plan A, their colorful DC War Memorial wedding was unique and memorable.

Danyel and Jeff’s wedding was one for the books, in my opinion, with some of the most perfect florals. Their vibrant color palette was filled with bright pinks, bold purples and yellows. Danyel’s bouquet was absolutely breathtaking! We designed the bouquet using purple and hot pink vanda orchids, hot pink garden roses, purple lisianthus, and yellow snapdragons with a touch of ivory spray roses and finished with Israeli and Italian ruscus foliage. Her bouquet was perfectly complemented with a delicate hair comb. Jeff’s boutonniere featured ivory spray roses. The flower gods truly sent us the most beautiful flowers for their colorful DC War Memorial wedding.

Located on the Mall, the DC War Memorial commemorates the citizens of the District of Columbia who served in World War I. The intimate domed structure was the site of Danyel and Jeff’s colorful summer nuptials. Against a backdrop of classic urn arrangements on graduated pedestals, they recited their vows in front of their nearest and dearest. Did you know that in DC couples can officiate their own ceremony? That’s exactly what Danyel and Jeff did.

No wedding is completely without cake! To celebrate following their vows, a delightful bar cart was set up with cake and champagne. A colorful arrangement was placed on the lower tier. Danyel and Jeff – we loved making lemonade out of lemons and creating a beautiful & fun wedding! Thanks for including us in your most special day.

Diane and Michael’s chuppah at the Westin Georgetown was a showstopper, accented with pastel blooms you don’t normally associate with fall but with enough dusty hues to feel seasonal. It was a dreamy palette of pale blue, lavender, purple, sage and soft blush. 💜✨ We couldn’t resist incorporating playful alliums (those striking purple spheres!) to add a touch of whimsy to the design.

Designing with color is one of our favorite things, and this chuppah proves how a thoughtful palette can bring warmth and joy to any season. Looking for cheery, elegant florals for your big day? Let’s chat! Schedule a complimentary consultation via the link in our bio. 💐

Romantic florals, candlelit glow, and three distinct centerpiece styles—all coming together for one dreamy reception. ✨ From lush low arrangements with flickering tapers to gold lanterns wrapped in blooms and elegant crystal candelabras accented with bud vases, each tablescape brought its own touch of magic. 🌸💫

Which style speaks to you? Or why choose—when you can mix and match for a reception that feels effortlessly layered and luxurious?

Spring is on our mind as we are underway with spring and summer wedding consultations. It makes us reminisce back to Denise and Neil’s beautiful wedding day at the Army and Navy Club. Their tall centerpieces were classic, with a hint of garden whimsy, for a romantic feel within the masculine ballroom.

We get to see one of our favorite planners Roberts & Co. today for a tasting at @armynavyclubdc And wouldn’t you know it? This wedding we did together came up in memories today!

Few things get us as excited as all the fun branches and textures that winter weddings bring. And that berry toned palette? To die for.

The epitome of chic. ✨ Sophia and Daniel were a vision —and together they looked as though they stepped straight off the pages of Vogue.

Sophia & Daniel’s ceremony chuppah was designed to feel like an ethereal dream, with clouds of baby’s breath interwoven with soft pink and antique shaded roses. 🌸 And those roses? They carried through the entire ballroom at the Willard, creating a cohesive and romantic look that left everyone in awe.

We’re thrilled this stunning day was featured in Washingtonian Weddings! 💐 A true celebration of love, beauty, and timeless style.
