With an A-List team of vendors, a beautiful venue, and a gorgeous floral palette, it should be no surprise that Hilary and Colin’s midsummer night’s dream wedding at Dumbarton House has been one of our all-time favorite weddings that we’ve ever produced here at Petal’s Edge!
When we first talked with Hilary and her mother Susan, they had a distinct and unique vision for what they wanted the wedding to look and feel like. Beautiful, of course, but fresh, original, and a wow factor that would leave their guests in awe. The personal flowers featured a delicious floral palette of garden roses, dahlia, ranunculus and more in corals and subdued peaches against classic whites and greens. The warm, citrus hues popped against the bridesmaids’ slate blue dresses.
Their ceremony was held at Dahlgren Chapel on the campus of Georgetown University. The ceremony was simple, focused on the natural architecture and beautiful stained glass of the sanctuary with only the lightest floral ornament on the reserved chairs for family at the front.
It was a true floral installation DAY as our team erected a stunning suspended installation beneath the canopy of the clear-top tent. Lush swooshes of smilax vine hung above the tables and nestled amidst the lights, creating a true feel of a midsummer night’s dream at this Dumbarton House wedding. It was the perfect romantic touch!
Below the suspended greenery, the tables themselves were set with designs overflowing with white hydrangea, peach stock, coral garden roses, peach ranunculus and pops of orange. Actual oranges! Half of the tables featured gold Harlow stands with garden designs with lush greens and flowers. The other half featured gold compote style arrangements with a similar floral palette.
It was such a pleasure bringing this event design to life.
