Decatur House DC Wedding first dance

Experience the magic of a summer courtyard wedding at Decatur House in Washington, DC, as we delve into the enchanting floral designs that made this celebration truly memorable. With a sophisticated, romantic, and fun style in mind, our team of talented designers brought Filipa and Ryan’s wedding visions to life. From the elegant French hand-tied bouquet to the exquisite ceremony and reception arrangements, every detail was meticulously crafted to elevate the beauty of this Decatur House wedding.

The centerpiece of this Decatur House DC wedding was the bride’s elegant French hand-tied bouquet. Adorned in a range of white, blush, and soft green hues, this bouquet showcased the natural beauty of Cafe au Lait dahlias, white roses, white stock, white lisianthus, and light pink astilbe. The stems were wrapped in ivory double-faced satin ribbon, adding a touch of luxury to this stunning bouquet.

At the Epiphany Catholic Church, the couple exchanged vows in a setting accented with two traditionally altar arrangements that perfectly complemented the sacred space. These meticulously crafted designs featured white hydrangeas, stock, roses, and spray roses, accented with lemon leaf, ruscus, and eucalyptus foliages. The result was a classic and romantic backdrop, enhancing the solemnity of the ceremony.

The reception at Decatur House DC showcased grandeur and sophistication of the season, with the floral designs playing a pivotal role in creating an enchanting atmosphere. Tall gold Harlow stands took center stage, topped with lush arrangements of white hydrangeas, stock, roses, and lisianthus. The designs were meticulously finished with lemon leaf, ruscus, and eucalyptus foliages, creating a captivating display of opulence.

In addition to the tall arrangements, the reception featured low centerpieces in our favorite gold Lita compotes. These meticulously designed compositions incorporated white hydrangeas, blush stock, roses, spray roses, snapdragons, and lisianthus, all carefully selected to complement the overall theme of the Decatur House wedding. The soft and dreamy color palette, along with the greenery accents, added an organic touch to the tablescapes.

The Decatur House DC wedding was an extraordinary celebration filled with love and beauty. We were honored of creating stunning floral designs that perfectly matched the Filipa and Ryan’s sophisticated, romantic, and fun style. Every detail was meticulously crafted to elevate the ambiance of this Decatur House wedding.

Beautiful spaces exist everywhere. You can book a great restaurant or walk into a well-designed hotel any day of the week. But what is it about weddings that feel so extraordinary? Yes, love is the obvious answer. Of course. But truly, when else in your life do you find yourself surrounded by flowers?!?! A wedding is one of those few moments we decide that a single day is worthy of transformation. To fill the room with a most fleeting and precious medium - flowers - knowing they’re here just long enough to make the moment unforgettable.

In discussing final changes, one of our couples had a note of hesitation in her voice, worried her palette might set a different mood than intended. Not seasonal enough? Too austere?

But here’s the thing: mood can be a matter of perspective. Which brings us to this wedding: once upon a time, orange was typecast as a strictly fall color. But flowers don’t follow rules. They bloom wildly, confidently, year-round! There are orange flowers in every season and in recent years, we’ve seen orange blooms show up to spring weddings, as warm oranges at summer soirées, and of course they’re still the favored guest at autumn affairs. Each time, the hue brings something fresh. Joy. Energy. That just-right edge.

Your color story should feel like you. In fact, for Olivia & David’s wedding, our bride’s mother shared that the color palette had been the one in her daughter’s childhood bedroom. A vibrant floral story that she had been living with all along. That’s what flowers can do. Pull memories forward, stitch generations together and turn a wedding into something deeply personal. And if it happens to challenge a few outdated ideas? Even better. 😉
