Fall Textures for Avenell Farm Wedding

Emily and Tyler were married in the sweetest, most picture-perfect day, a day filled with fall textures for their Avenell Farm wedding. The wedding party’s personal flowers were designed using an organic palette of soft grays, greens and whites. For Emily, we created an elegant, asymmetrically-styled bouquet with a mix of seeded, silver dollar and baby blue eucalyptus, dusty miller, camellia, and umbrella fern foliage accented with white mini-calla lilies, white stock, Queen Anne’s lace, white lisianthus, and white scabiosa. Her bridesmaids carried complementary bouquets made from the same flowers. The neutral and natural palette contrasted beautiful with the pale pastel bridesmaids’ dresses. The men in the wedding party wore boutonnières of white mini calla lilies with eucalyptus foliage. Tyler’s boutonnière stood out with an added accent of white astilbe.

Organic Designs for an Elegant Reception

Guest tables at the reception received fresh fall textures for the Avenell Farm wedding. A simple glass cylinder vase holding a loose and organic design. A mix of white hydrangea, eucalyptus, dusty miller, camellia and fern foliage, and finished with accents of Queen Anne’s lace, white lisianthus, white mini-calla lilies, white scabiosa, and white astilbe brought both elegance and fall texture to the table. Simple glass cylinder vases were placed along the length of the head table for the bridesmaids’ bouquets – a perfect finishing touch! The simple white wedding cake was finished with a stunning ring of mixed eucalyptus and fern.

It’s been a very long time since floral centerpieces were just flowers in a vase. Today’s centerpieces have multiple elements, loads of candles, things that have to be assembled and even built on-site. And yet the presumption persists that the florist is just going to show up with a box that can be left in the corner for someone else to place on the table.

Putting aside the fact that we take far more pride in our work than that… to say that we value logistics and planning is an understatement!! And logistics are truly our skill set. We can tell you how many man hours a particular installation will take and can design for efficiency. It’s truly our super power.

Most floral design relies on other things being in place. Not useful? “You can get into the room at this time.” Actually useful? “The bar you’re building that cascading piece on will in place no later than X o’clock.” But more than that? Start realizing that event demands are not what they used to be.

We were at the Willard InterContinental this past weekend setting up for Mari`s bridal shower. Think pink, gardeny, everything spring.⁣
⁣
The Crystal Room is always a lot of look. Those green marble columns, the chandeliers... and yet it`s so quintessentially DC! There`s something about that room that makes pink feel completely at home.⁣
⁣
It took us straight back to Sophia & Daniel`s wedding ceremony in the same space. Pink baby`s breath, roses, the whole thing. Two totally different events, same magic. Pink and the Crystal Room? We`re convinced it`s a love story. 💚🌸⁣

I love eavesdropping. 😜

While setting up for the new Georgetown Citibank, we overheard someone say, “This is the moment.” ❤️

And I couldn’t have said it better myself. Because when flowers are doing their job, they don’t just fill a space. They create a moment you can feel.
