Jennifer and Mike’s DAR wedding took place at one of our favorite sites in town – the headquarters of the Daughters of the American Revolution, better known simply as DAR. (We know! We have a lot of favorites!) From historic rooms with barreled ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors and crystal chandeliers to gilded beaux arts architecture and more, the site offers beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces for a wedding.
With a romantic style, the wedding flowers spanned class white with pops of pink ranging from pale blush to bold raspberry. Jennifer’s bouquet incorporated classic blooms – garden roses, roses, spray roses, lisianthus, gardenia and stock – in shades of muted ivory and pale pink. The bridesmaids’ flowers introduced the textures of summer dahlia, pops of pink in a bold raspberry tone, and more exotic green echevaria. It’s always a treat when a photographer take a photo of the boutonnieres! The groom wore ivory spray roses and the rest of the men spray roses in light pink.
The wedding ceremony took place in the O’Byrne gallery, where two striking altar designs in wrought iron stands flanked the beautiful mirror at one end of the gallery. Lush rounded arrangements of hydrangea, stock, roses, spray roses, and lisianthus were set atop glass urns, the flowers embracing classic whites and ivories with pops of pink. Petite bouquets in whites and pinks lined the aisle-side chairs, each finished with ivory satin ribbon.
The space was turned over following the ceremony and reset for the reception. A mix of tall and low designs graced the ballroom, with glass footed bowls and tall trumpet vases holding lush arrangements in white, ivory, and shades of pink. The low centerpieces also incorporated echevaria in a minty green. Loose lisianthus tips lent a vintage, garden feel. The posies on the chairs from the ceremony were repurposed on the bride’s and groom’s chairs for the reception.
