George Washington Masonic Memorial Wedding

George Washington Masonic Memorial Wedding

George Washington Masonic Memorial wedding

Do you ever drive around Alexandria and notice that really tall building at the head of Old Town just across from the King Street train and metro station? It is the George Washington Masonic Memorial and site of Christine and Shawn’s spring wedding. A romantic palette of peaches, pinks, white and champagnes presided over the color scheme, all softness and light. Christine’s bouquet featured Juliet garden roses, light pink peonies, white ranunculus and stock, ivory spray roses, and champagne Sahara roses. Shawn’s boutonniere featured a petite white ranunculus blossom accented with bear grass.

We loved how the soft colors of the flowers were played up by the bridesmaids’ dresses and the punch of color in their shawls. The bouquets featured roses, spray roses, ranunculus and stock in peaches, light pinks and champagnes.

As befits a George Washington Masonic Memorial wedding, the ceremony took place in the North Lodge, a room anchored at the far side with a stately red curtain. Wrought iron stands flanked the couple, each holding tall pink and white cherry blossom branches, sprays of pink and white larkspur, snapdragons, stock and dendrobium orchids for fullness and color. We love how the branches look framing Christine during the ceremony.

The reception took place in the Grand Masonic Hall, a space lined by dramatic columns on either side and a mural with a bust of George Washington at the far end. (You can see how the ceremony flowers were repurposed to flank the entrance to the ballroom as Christine and Shawn make their entrance.) Simple bud vases of wedding flowers in pinks were designed for the cocktail tables. For the dining tables, an elegant, glass footed bowl was filled with a lush design of light pink hydrangea, peach stock, pink lisianthus, ivory spray roses, champagne roses and light pink ranunculus. Finishing the room, glass-enclosed pillar candles provided a romantic candle lit glow on the balance of the tables.

Diane & Michael’s autumn wedding at the Westin Georgetown redefined fall florals. 💙 Instead of the traditional rust and burgundy hues, their palette celebrated cooler tones: light blue hydrangea, lavender stock, and blue and lavender delphinium layered with roses and spray roses, even whimsical purple globe allium. Lush greenery framed the look, adding depth and texture. The result was elegant and unexpected — a design that felt fresh, refined, and utterly romantic in every detail. ✨

Minimal never means boring. At the National Museum of Women in the Arts, we designed with intention: bud vases filled with single white roses paired with black taper candles and glowing votives. The look was crisp, modern, and architectural, yet still romantic when lit. ✨ We love how repeating the smallest details across an entire room creates atmosphere and drama — proof that simplicity, when done with care, can be just as striking as the grandest installation. 🖤 🤍

Our story is rooted in horticulture, art, and a genuine love of design. Over the years, the scale of our weddings has grown, but our philosophy remains the same: florals should create mood, evoke emotion, and transform a space into something unforgettable. 🌸

That devotion carries through every detail, from climbing ladders to lighting candles to suspending blooms overhead. For Emily and Will’s wedding at Potomac View Terrace, that meant classic pink and white garden flowers, golden terrariums glowing with candlelight, and a canopy of suspended blooms with glass globes above the head table. Romantic, timeless, and a reflection of why we do what we do. ✨ 

As we begin a new season, we cannot wait to bring more love stories to life. If you are planning your wedding, now is the time to start dreaming with us. 💐
