Elkridge Furnace Inn Wedding

Elkridge Furnace Inn Wedding

A winter wedding is a special time of year to marry. The season lends itself to so many festive and formal elements that make for a memorable celebration! It’s not unusual, though, for couples to start with a winter scheme, only to have doubts creep in as they approach the wedding. The next thing you know, a more universal and generic scheme has been adopted that can exist in nearly any season. This was not the case though for Kristin and Danny. We truly decked the halls for their Elkridge Furnace Inn wedding!

The studio smelled so good the week of their wedding, as our space was filled with with evergreens like juniper, cedar, pine fir. The winter scheme was accented with lush burgundy peonies and orchids, Barista roses, whimsical touches of thistle and snowy waxflower. A perfect floral palette for a winter wedding in the Washington, DC area.

A mix of texture and candlelight make the Elkridge Furnace Inn wedding reception feel extra festive. Suspended above the head table was a lush evergreen hedge with hanging votives and glass globes. Running beneath the hedge was a lush fir garland accented with a heavy candle treatment running the length of the table. The remaining tables featured one of three centerpiece styles. On a third of the tables, a textured, winter-inspired design sat atop gold Harlow stands. The base of the design was finished with pillar and floating candles. A gold compotes held lush design of evergreens with

Beyond flowers, several details that made this Elkridge Furnace Inn wedding merry and bright. A drop-dead gorgeous escort card wall featured personalized ornament for guests. And of course the details that made each table so perfect: Red velvet napkins at each place setting, ornaments at the base of the tall arrangements, beautifully festive menus with strikingly red details.

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. 😉
