Venue Spotlight: Daughters of the American Revolution

Located at 1776 D St., NW, within walking distance fo the White House, the headquarters of the Daughters of the American Revolution offers an array of stunning spaces that can be used for a wedding ceremony and reception.

About

Commonly known as DAR, the venue features the headquarters offices, a museum, and library. The most popular space, the O’Byrne Gallery, features a barreled ceiling, a herringbone hardwood floor, and original rams-head sconces. The adjacent Portico offers breathtaking views of the Washington monument.

Location: Adjacent to the Ellipse

Capacity:

O’Byrne Gallery – 140 seated

Library – 130 seated

Constitution Hall lobby – 700 seated

Pro Tips

Color in any palette – even greenery! – really pops in the O’Byrne Gallery. For dinner’s in the library, embrace the table lamps (which don’t move!). DAR is not necessarily a small space, but it isn’t an expansive one either. If your guest list permits, create a long table along the center with tall arrangements to take advantage of the height. Talk about maximum drama AND maximum intimacy!

Tall, bold, and unapologetically pink 💖

Caren & Aaron’s wedding at the always-stylish Hotel Monaco DC was a maximalist floral dream! Think king protea, astilbe, tulips, succulents, even pineapple accents!🍍 All artfully arranged to bring their vibrant vision to life. We had so much fun leaning into texture, color, and unexpected elements in this design.

If you’ve got big ideas, we’re all ears (and petals! And even pineapples 😜 ). Tap the link in bio to start dreaming!⁣

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.

We might be known for our willingness to flower just about anything! And when we were asked to floral the trunk of a vintage car, of course we were game! As guests arrived to the event, it served as the perfect photo moment! Just ask this chic guest 😊⁣

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.

Anam & Patrick’s wedding at the Mayflower Hotel was a floral fairytale in every sense. Their ceremony began with a grand statement: elevated urns overflowing with hydrangea, roses, spray roses, and stock framed the aisle and altar, setting the tone for a day filled with romance. Inside the ballroom, a luxurious palette of soft pinks, ivory, and blush transformed the space. Tall, classic centerpieces on gold Harlow stands added height and elegance, while matching low arrangements brought intimacy to the tables. Long tables featured crystal candelabra with pale pink taper candles, nestled among petite floral clusters of hydrangea and roses for a warm, glowing ambiance. The sweetheart table was framed with a lush garland and flickering candlelight - the perfect touch for a perfect night.⁣

Anna & Austin’s wedding day was the picture of fresh elegance, with lush white flowers, soft powder blue details, and the most charming lemon accents woven throughout. From the sweet citrus place cards at each setting to the bright, joyful palette, every detail brought a playful sophistication that felt just right for summer. A design that was as fresh as it was timeless.⁣
