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.

When Clara & John shared their vision of adding just a touch of blue to their wedding at DAR, we took that spark and ran with it. Instead of reaching for blue flowers, we leaned into chinoiserie — weaving in patterned porcelain vessels to add depth, interest, and that perfect pop of blue. It’s what we love most: taking your ideas and elevating them into something layered, unexpected, and completely yours.⁣
⁣
P.S. - Did you know there`s a cabinet at DAR that holds a collection of blue transferware dishes and container? Look for it the next time you`re there!⁣

For Lara & Owen`s ceremony, we collaborated with @modernfoliage and @voileandveil to create a truly immersive and unforgettable moment filled with lush draping a greenery, symphony of plants and, of course, florals. It’s always such a joy to transform this iconic space — and we’re thrilled to be returning to NMWA this weekend for another gorgeous celebration. Follow along in stories for a behind-the-scenes look at what we’re designing next!⁣

Double duty, done beautifully.

For Claire & Sean’s wedding at the Dockmaster’s Building, we created a floral garland for their ceremony arch. Eleegant, lush, and just dramatic enough to hold its own against the waterfront backdrop.

But we weren’t done yet. That same garland made a second appearance, repurposed to trail down the length of their head table. Thoughtful, sustainable, and completely gorgeous. Because we believe a good floral moment deserves an encore.

Sage and lavender never looked so chic 💜🌿 Alex & Andrew’s wedding at the Alexandrian was a perfect study in color-forward design. We loved how the bold linens played off the florals—especially those dreamy taper candles echoing the palette. Under a clear-top tent, the entire space felt fresh, modern, and effortlessly romantic. Proof that thoughtful details and color can transform a space into something unforgettable.⁣

Tall, bold, and unapologetically pink 💖

Caren & Aaron’s wedding at the always-stylish Hotel Monaco DC was a maximalist floral dream! Think king protea, astilbe, tulips, succulents, even pineapple accents!🍍 All artfully arranged to bring their vibrant vision to life. We had so much fun leaning into texture, color, and unexpected elements in this design.

If you’ve got big ideas, we’re all ears (and petals! And even pineapples 😜 ). Tap the link in bio to start dreaming!⁣

Some weddings are magic. ✨

This one just took a cart, a loading dock, stairs, ramps, 250 feet of hallway, and a very determined florist team.

Here’s what you don’t see in the final gallery: the cardio, the zip ties, the setup hustle. But would we do it all again for this dreamy blue-and-white moment we created for Jenni & Aaron at the Omni Shoreham? Absolutely.
