The Dumbarton Room and Conservatory are lovely and intimate spaces, with pyramidal skylights and a private patio. It’s not unusual for our couples to use one for ceremony with the other for reception.

Height is the drawing point of the Corcoran Ballroom. Don’t let the soaring ceilings dwarf the space. Elements like a lush band front, a mix of tall and low designs, an elevated head table design or even potted trees or greenery hanging from the chandeliers can bring intimacy or drama into the space.

With a palette of orange, burgundy, and white, Kerry & Brendan’s wedding at the Woodrow Wilson House was a study in contrast: cassic in form, but unexpected in color. Kerry carried a classic bouquet of white garden roses, ranunculus, and lisianthus with ruscus and eucalyptus foliage, while her bridesmaids’ bouquets brought color with orange and burgundy blooms that popped against their gowns. The reception brought old world charm with tall cathedral candlestick centerpieces draped in amaranthus while lush, low garden urns held flowers in classic but textured greens and whites. The result was warm, textural, and timeless, a celebration that felt both refined and joyfully vibrant.⁣

Caroline & Corey`s ceremony embraced fall in the best way: an aisle lined with heirloom pumpkins in soft neutrals and washed-out oranges, surrounded by florals that felt gathered from the season itself. Paired with candlelight, the look was more harvest elegance than Halloween. Texture, repetition, and color did the storytelling. It is proof that seasonal details can feel sophisticated when they are thoughtfully chosen and placed with intention.⁣

Amanda & Jack’s Woodend wedding drew its inspiration from a William Morris print - lush, romantic, and rooted in nature. The florals carried that spirit through every detail: moss runners lined the tables, dotted with petite brown bottles of chamomile, blush spray roses, and wisps of greenery that felt as if they had grown there overnight. Cloche domes held tiny blooms like keepsakes. Brass animals cradled florals as though part of the garden itself, a perfect nod to the nature sanctuary venue. (Which ones can you find?) Even the greenery-lined staircase framing the cake echoed the same story. Every bloom was chosen for texture and movement, bringing that painterly, botanical world to life in three dimensions.

When Mother Nature takes her cues from the tablescape. 😉⁣

At River Farm, the serpentine table looked as though it had grown right out of the landscape. Florals in plum, blush, taupe, and eggplant wound between wood candle holders and fruit, creating a rhythm that felt perfectly in step with the surrounding gardens. The palette was moody but soft, a study in texture and tone rather than contrast. It is our favorite kind of designs: one that blurs the line between what is arranged and what simply belongs.⁣

We call it the creep…

Everyone talks about the rising cost of flowers, but there’s another story behind the numbers: time. Over the years, wedding timelines have stretched. First looks, detail shots, getting-ready portraits, ceremony and reception setups starting hours earlier than before, and more complex with event breakdowns. Florists are often still paid by the piece, not by the hour, yet the hours have multiplied.

What was once a 2 to 4 hour delivery day has quietly turned into a 12 to 16 hour production days with setup, standby, and late-night breakdowns. And flowers are still perishable, so they cannot sit out waiting for the photography timeline to catch up.

When couples ask why flowers cost more now, this is part of the answer. It is not just about stems or supply chains. It is the labor, the logistics, and the reality that perfection takes time, often a lot more than it used to.
