Forest-Inspired Woodend Wedding

Forest-Inspired Woodend Wedding

A soothing palette of forest greens served as the grounding backdrop of Mitch and Patrick’s nuptials. Their forest-inspired Woodend wedding embraced the best of autumn with rich reds, yellows and oranges with maidenhair fern. White mini-calla lilies served as the grooms’ boutonnieres, simple and masculine in style. Each of the female attendants carried simple bouquets of red, yellow and mango mini-calla lilies, the stems wrapped in a natural white muslin for a rustic touch.

The forest-inspired Woodend ceremony, which took place on a truly picturesque September day in the grove, was simply decorated. Posies of orange and yellow callas, dahlia, roses and mokara orchids accented with hypericum berries marked every row on the aisle, finished with a muslin ribbon. The escort card table was graced with a dramatic tablescape consisting of several pieces of interwoven manzanita branch set on pieces of moss and accented with maidenhair fern, yellow cymbidium orchid blossoms, and hanging Spanish moss nested and secured along the branches.

 

Continuing with the forest-Inspired Woodend wedding theme, guest tables conveyed an informal elegance. A mix of glass cylinder vases holding terrarium-style centerpieces of maidenhair fern accompanied by wood boxes. The boxes held textured designs of orange and yellow roses, dahlia, mokara orchids, and mini-calla lilies accented with burgundy dahlia, red hypericum berries and maidenhair fern.

It’s Bike to Work Day — and while we usually pedal toward petals, we couldn’t resist sharing this creative twist from Elle & Bryan, one of our couples who wheeled their love of cycling straight into the ceremony. 🚲✨ 

Elle & Bryan’s wedding at Dumbarton House was full of charm, personal touches, and one especially fun nod to their love of cycling. Bicycle wheels became sculptural backdrops, proving that when it comes to personal touches, there’s no such thing as too niche.

Designing florals around unexpected objects? That’s our lane. And yes — it was all uphill in the best possible way.

A night of mystery and masquerade — and the perfect way to fête the 10th anniversary of The Scout Guide Alexandria and the launch of Vol. 10! ✨ 

We loved adding our signature touch of floral drama to this year’s launch party at the Hotel Heron. From a moody and dramatic entrance piece to a flower-filled car, sculptural arrangements on cocktail tables and elevated bar arrangements casting feathered shadows and moody textures, this event let us play in a world of whimsy and wonder.

We’re proud to be part of a guide that champions small businesses and celebrates creativity in our community. Supporting local means investing in the makers, doers, and dreamers who make Alexandria vibrant — and The Scout Guide does just that, beautifully. Cheers to Vol. 10! Special thanks to Sarah and Claire for always being so supportive and encouraging.
