Planning Your DC Wedding Ceremony

Planning Your DC Wedding Ceremony

For most couples, the wedding ceremony is the most meaningful part of their special day – which is why we suggest adding some extra style in the form of beautiful florals! Adorning your ceremony aisle makes a memorable first impression on your guests, looks stunning in photos, and gives your vows the beautiful backdrop they deserve. As we walk into 2019, we’re revisiting some of our favorite ceremony flowers, with lots of inspiration for your DC wedding ceremony and all of you getting married this year!

Dressing up the Aisle

A wonderful decor option for ceremonies is a combination of loose petals and lanterns. Not only can they create an intimate feel in a larger space or soften hard lines and dark colors in an industrial or modern space, but they’re also an affordable expense for most.

Indoor Ceremonies

For those couples wishing for a more elaborate floral concept, large-scale arrangements of clustered or long-stem blooms or even branches should definitely be considered! Presented on pedestal columns or other bases, these designs bring a dramatic flair and ensure your “I do’s” are among the most photogenic moments of your wedding.

Outdoor Ceremonies

Outdoor ceremonies usually enjoy the natural beauty of blue skies, green grass, and other gifts from Mother Nature. However, adding florals in your chosen palette makes an outdoor space seem extra-special for celebrating a wedding. From floral arches to free-standing arrangements to a loose scattering of petals, there are lots of options for enhancing your ceremony outside.

Petite Decor for the Aisle

Finally, no matter whether your DC wedding ceremony is indoors or outdoors, adding small sprays of beautiful flowers, called posies, to your ceremony chairs is a way to make your aisle even more dazzling. Or, consider a whimsical and more structured pomander ball. We can customize the size, scale, color and cost of these mini-arrangements to your preferences, and you’ll love the sweet touch they add to your ceremony images, often some of the most cherished photos of the event.

As you can see, we love brainstorming about ceremony flowers and all wedding flowers, really – and we’d love to meet with you about your own ideas! Want to see more of these weddings? Check out:

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea! 

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨ 

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level 

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance

Not all green and white floral palettes are created equal. This one here will NEVER go out of style and is truly as timeless as they come! Magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary, and delicate touches of white… Add velvet linens and gold touches, and we’re smitten... 😍
