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.

Oh how we love a room shot…

Don’t get us wrong! Give us all the delicious little flower close-ups. We want to see every ruffly petal and perfect place setting.

But then BACK UP!

Because this is the moment we’ve been thinking about all along. How do those centerpieces fill the room? Where does your eye go first? Do the tall pieces actually feel tall beneath a 20-foot ceiling?

Does the whole thing have rhythm?

Seeing all of those individual pieces finally come together into one beautiful room never, ever gets old.

Twenty-plus years in and we still get a little giddy about it.

Some venues need flowers that make a statement. Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is all about atmosphere.⁣
⁣
The exposed brick, warm lighting, and intimate scale already bring so much character to the space, so we leaned into layered candlelight, soft movement, and garden inspired flowers that felt romantic without overpowering the architecture.⁣

One of our favorite DC venues for couples who want their wedding to feel elegant, warm, and completely immersive.⁣
