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.

We are back at Woodend this coming week, and it has us reminiscing about Amanda and Jack’s whimsical, wonderful, William Morris-inspired dream of a wedding with an Art Nouveau twist. The wedding layered bohemian textures, vintage details, woodland creatures and, of course, romantic blooms into a palette that felt both grounded and poetic. Think climbing vines, golden light, and flowers that felt like they had stepped out of an heirloom wallpaper print - in the best way. We’re still swooning. 💫

A rooftop celebration that proves timeless can still be bold. For Elaine & Trey’s wedding at Capitol View at 400, we leaned into classic green and white, but elevated it with sculptural greenery installations, gold Harlow stands, and skyline views that stretched for miles. A ceiling of foliage softened the tented space, while sleek black bridesmaid dresses added contrast and edge. Clean, refined, and impossibly romantic.
