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.

Summer weddings? We’ll never shut up about them. 💚🤍

Erin & Ben’s wedding at Capitol View at 400 was everything we love about the season: classic greens, crisp whites, a sailcloth tent, and flowers that let the setting shine. From the bouquet to the boutonniere, every detail was timeless without feeling predictable.

And of course, no Capitol View at 400 wedding is complete without a stroll over to the U.S. Capitol for portraits. It’s one of the many reasons we love designing weddings at this iconic Washington, DC venue.

If you’re planning a Capitol View at 400 wedding and looking for a florist who knows how to make classic feel anything but ordinary... we’d love to talk

If there is one design element that always works at St. Francis Hall, it is candlelight. The stone walls hold the glow in a way that makes the entire room feel warm and intimate once the sun goes down, no matter the time of year.⁣
⁣
For Katherine & Johnathan`’s summer wedding, we layered taper candles in varying pastel shades with small votives across the long tables. The room slowly came alive as guests entered for dinner. The flowers were designed to sit comfortably among the candles rather than compete with them, allowing the light to move through the arrangements and across the tables. By the time everyone was seated, the hall felt completely transformed.⁣

Lavender can be a surprisingly difficult color.⁣
Too much and it can feel overly sweet. Too little and it disappears entirely.⁣
⁣
What we loved about Kortni & Aaron`s wedding at 2941 Restaurant in Falls Church was how lavender was balanced with crisp whites, soft sage greens, and layered textures. The result felt romantic and fresh without feeling precious.⁣
⁣
A reminder that color is rarely about the color itself. It`s about what you pair it with.⁣

The Old Masters knew something we’re bringing back. ✨

Clusters of plums, grapes, even nuts add to the lush tablescape of flowers, the kind of abundance that belongs in a Caravaggio painting. Rich, tactile, and impossibly beautiful in person. It’s one of our favorite ways to add depth and drama to a wedding table without sacrificing an ounce of elegance.

One of the easiest ways to make a ballroom feel dynamic is to stop making every table look the same.⁣
⁣
For Michelle & Sam`s wedding at the Colonnade Room at the Fairmont, we mixed tall centerpieces with lower garden-style arrangements, creating variation throughout the room and giving the eye somewhere new to land at every turn.⁣
⁣
But the tables weren`t carrying the design on their own. A flower-filled garland stretched the length of the head table. Greenery-clad columns framed the colonnade and dance floor throughout the evening. Together, those larger elements helped anchor the room while the centerpieces added rhythm and movement.⁣
⁣
Different heights. Different focal points. One cohesive design.⁣
