Colorful Fall Woodend Wedding

Photo by Mary Neumann Photography

When asked what they had in mind for their wedding, Kristin and Saujan described the look as classic with a touch of bohemian, loose and organic, and with a color palette of rich oranges, yellows, reds, pinks and even a touch of blue. Whew! A lot of look, but their colorful Fall Woodend wedding came together beautifully. Kristin’s bouquet featured rich, warm hued Free Spirit roses, yellow ranunculus, orange dahlia, red spray roses, hot pink coxcomb, a mix of zinnia, and green millet accented with blue thistle and privet berries finished with loose touches of seeded eucalyptus and feathery burgundy agony foliage. Saujan’s boutonniere featured a mix of coxcomb and thistle accented with seeded eucalyptus. The bridesmaid’s wore navy dresses, while their bouquets featured similar loose textures and vibrant colors as the bridal flowers. Featuring a mix of Free Spirit roses, and ranunculus, dahlia, zinnia, coxcomb and spray roses in oranges, yellows, reds and pinks, the bouquets were accented with thistle, seeded eucalyptus and agonis. We really loved these elegant and detailed photos of the boutonnieres. Similar but simpler than Saujan’s boutonniere, the rest of the men wore blue thistle accented with seeded eucalyptus.

We love how, for the American ceremony, you can see many of the rich colors from the flowers in the guests’ choice of clothing. Though the ceremony didn’t include a great number of flowers aside from the bride and bridesmaids’ hand-held flowers, the guests rounded the decor in a sense to complement the colorful Fall Woodend wedding.

The colorful Woodend wedding reception featured vibrant low table arrangements across a room of pale linens paired with gold chairs and dark blue chair pads. The centerpieces featured gold glass footed bowl – the touch of classic the couple described – filled with lush, textured designs of yarrow, stock, roses and spray roses, ranunculus, dahlia, zinnia, coxcomb and millet in oranges, yellows, reds, and pinks finished with thistle, seeded eucalyptus and agonis foliage.

It’s been a very long time since floral centerpieces were just flowers in a vase. Today’s centerpieces have multiple elements, loads of candles, things that have to be assembled and even built on-site. And yet the presumption persists that the florist is just going to show up with a box that can be left in the corner for someone else to place on the table.

Putting aside the fact that we take far more pride in our work than that… to say that we value logistics and planning is an understatement!! And logistics are truly our skill set. We can tell you how many man hours a particular installation will take and can design for efficiency. It’s truly our super power.

Most floral design relies on other things being in place. Not useful? “You can get into the room at this time.” Actually useful? “The bar you’re building that cascading piece on will in place no later than X o’clock.” But more than that? Start realizing that event demands are not what they used to be.

We were at the Willard InterContinental this past weekend setting up for Mari`s bridal shower. Think pink, gardeny, everything spring.⁣

The Crystal Room is always a lot of look. Those green marble columns, the chandeliers... and yet it`s so quintessentially DC! There`s something about that room that makes pink feel completely at home.⁣
⁣
It took us straight back to Sophia & Daniel`s wedding ceremony in the same space. Pink baby`s breath, roses, the whole thing. Two totally different events, same magic. Pink and the Crystal Room? We`re convinced it`s a love story. 💚🌸⁣

I love eavesdropping. 😜

While setting up for the new Georgetown Citibank, we overheard someone say, “This is the moment.” ❤️

And I couldn’t have said it better myself. Because when flowers are doing their job, they don’t just fill a space. They create a moment you can feel.

Meridian House is one of those venues that makes people fall in love the second they see it. The gardens, the historic rooms, the feeling that you`ve stumbled onto this beautiful hidden place in the middle of Washington. It is such a privilege to design there.⁣

For Erica & Matt, the goal was to keep the flowers feeling like an eloquent dinner party. We filled the tables with hydrangea, stock, roses and spray roses, and lisianthus and lots and lots of candles so the rooms felt alive and welcoming the moment guests walked in. I remember stepping back once everything was set and thinking how light the whole space felt — like spring had simply decided to move inside for the evening.⁣
⁣
And when Erica & Matt walked in and saw the room for the first time? The smiles said everything.⁣
