Elegant Fall Anderson House Wedding

Liidia and Mike’s elegant fall Anderson House wedding took place on a picturesque October day. Their day started with portraits at the Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral. Liidia carried a bouquet of classic white garden roses, roses, and lisianthus accented with purple stock and lisianthus. The bridesmaids’ bouquets featured roses, stock and lisianthus in shades of lavender, purple and white.

The ceremony took place at Georgetown Presbyterian Church. Elegant altar arrangements in classic white flanked the ceremony, while posies of rose, stock and lisianthus in shades of purple and white graced the pews.

One of our favorite venues, the elegant fall reception took place at Anderson House. Gold mercury glass bowls centered each table, each filled with a richly textured design of white hydrangea and spray roses accented with purple stock, lavender roses and camellia foliage. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were placed along the length of the long head table for a finishing touch to the elegant, Fall Anderson House wedding.

Katie + Jake’s wedding was PURE SPRING. 🌸⁣
⁣
Peonies, Juliet garden roses, ranunculus, sweet pea, stock, campanula... Basically all the flowers you hope will show up when someone tells you they’re getting married in May.⁣
⁣
We kept everything loose and gardeny, in peaches, soft blush, white and those wonderful slightly faded greens that keep pastels from becoming too sugary. And at Woodlawn, surrounded by actual spring? So, so pretty.⁣
This is exactly why May flowers have my heart.⁣
Their reception arrangements continued that mix of garden roses, tea roses, spray roses, ranunculus, butterfly ranunculus, campanula and sweet pea.⁣

One of my favorite moments at every St. Francis Hall wedding is right before the ceremony begins. The room fills with that quiet anticipation as guests take their seats and the flowers finally become part of the scene they were designed for.⁣
⁣
For Alexandra & Sam’s ceremony, the stage was framed with a lush, deconstructed arch, creating a focal point against the hall’s burgundy proscenium drape. As the music began and Alexandra walked down the aisle, everything came together in that way it only does once. The architecture, the flowers, the lighting, and two people about to start their marriage. It is always a privilege to help shape that moment.⁣

A tented reception. Ceremony urns overflowing with white hydrangea and gladiola. Centerpieces that looked like they were plucked straight from an English country garden. Rachael and Scott`s Woodlawn wedding was everything. 🤍 This is exactly why we love what we do, taking a venue`s natural beauty and letting the flowers just... amplify it. Historic, romantic, and completely unforgettable. 🌿✨⁣

Theres something about September that always feels like a turning point. The days are still warm, but the morning is a bit cooler. School is back in session. The light starts to change. And after a long DC summer, you do all get that first day when you can open the door and think, yes, fall really is coming. 🍁

For me fall has always been tied to the rhythm of the school year. Kids going back to school and calendars filling up. Pulling sweaters out of the back of the closet, and thinking about Halloween before you’re quite ready to admit summer is over.

In the studio, autumn has another rhythm. September and October weddings - arguably our busiest time of the year - paired with all sorts of fun things. Pods, berries, grasses and all sorts of funky things.

I think there’s a reason fall weddings always feel so right. It’s a season built around change. The landscape shifts, the light softens, the year begins winding down… and in the midst of that, two people choose to begin something.

Maybe that’s what I love about this time of year. Autumn can feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. So here’s to another fall wedding season, changing leaves, cooler nights (no mosquitoes), celebrations and all the new beginnings still ahead.

Amy & Reuben’s wedding photos are here, and I forgot how much I loved this palette! White flowers, loads of green, and black woven through just enough to make everything feel a little sharper.⁣
⁣
We used anemones, ranunculus, roses, sweet pea and stock, with big, loose greenery moments throughout the room. It was springy without being pastel, classic without feeling too traditional, and so much fun to see all together at the Park Hyatt.⁣
⁣
Also, that bouquet. 🤍🖤⁣

Classic roses. Ethereal baby’s breath. And bleached ruscus for some fashion forward style. Classic with an edge.
