Oh how we love an industrial space! Dock 5, a fabulous gem of a site at the historic Union Market in NE Washington, DC, provides endless inspiration with its cool, industrial aesthetic. Featuring raw concrete floors and 22′-tall ceilings, it’s a true blank slate for creativity.
As austere as the surroundings, it’s a perfect backdrop for an urban garden feel. We love the contrast of cool industrial hues with the palette of brilliant blues, amethysts, orchid, and rich golds. Long tables are a great a way to bring intimacy into a grand space. Garden-inspired flowers provide a welcome contrast of soft textures finished with romantic lighting and luxe details to the cold concrete.
Our model carried a lush, cascading bouquet featured a lush mix of white peonies, wine anemone, purple lilac, lavender sweet pea, and purple clematis and jasmine vine. A long table, an elegant silver dollar eucalyptus garland was studded with tulips, roses, lilac, anemone, sweet pea, lisianthus, scabiosa, hellebores, and clematis in shades of purple.
Suspended above the table, and bringing an “artful” element to the design, a gold frame held a contemporary “still life” of miniature bronze trophy urns with loose garden flowers
