Pretty in Pink Wedding at the Fairmont DC

One of our favorite hotel wedding venues in the Washington, DC metro area was transformed into a floral garden last summer. Kitty and Daniel’s pink wedding at the Fairmont DC Hotel was the thing of dreams. We first planned the couple’s wedding for 2020, and as things happened, the event was rescheduled not just once but twice. In that time, the vision only became more clear – so there were benefits to the wait!

The floral palette for Kitty and Daniel’s wedding featured our absolute favorite spring favorites – peonies, ranunculus and so much more! The range of pinks were accented with touches of white for a nod to the classic wedding palette. Think of it as classic with a pop of color! (Or color with a pop of classic?) The pops of hot pink took the feel from timeless to festive. (And can we please have a moment for Kitty’s stunning shoes?!?)

As guests entered the Colonnade room, smilax greenery draped on the columns in the center of the room, creating an instant wow moment. And if that wasn’t enough, lush elevated designs on the head table created a drop dead gorgeous was to frame the couple for the wedding reception!

It was an absolute pleasure creating this beautiful celebration for Kitty and Daniel, our true queen and king of hearts. We wish them the best in their life together!

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.
