Gilded Gold Fall Wedding

Gilded Gold Fall Wedding

Gold painted animals for seating

Could Laura and Ken’s gilded gold fall wedding been more on-point with the use of greenery? We are seeing a surge of weddings embracing green, and this sure is one of them! Laura’s bridal bouquet featured a range of fall orange and burgundy tones accented with loose, lush, greenery varied in texture. Seeded eucalyptus, jasmine vine, and camellia foliage set the scene against which garden roses, spray roses, anemone, ranunculus, scabiosa, and dahlia stole the show. The bridesmaids carried similar, simpler bouquets. The boutonnieres were designed using white ranunculus accented with seeded eucalyptus, viburnum berries, and scabiosa pods finished with a rustic twine.

The ceremony took place at St. Matthew’s Cathedral, with the wedding reception to follow at the Carnegie Institute. Balloons made for a playful entrance to the site, accented with jasmine vine which similarly adorned the menu board. The play didn’t stop there, as the gilded gold fall wedding featured party animal escort cards as a twist on the seating assignments. It really add a light and fun element to the decor design!

Dinner tables were each centered with a glass footed bowl filled with a textured, loose mix of greens accented with garden roses, spray roses, ranunculus, anemone, scabiosa, and pods and berries. A long king’s table centered the room, with an elegant length of seeded eucalyptus and salal garland accented with taper candles. Small touches of flowers sparingly accented the garland. A similar garland adorned the bar.

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.
