Glam Carlyle Club Wedding

With pops of pink throughout and a classic style with a modern twist, Laura and Mike’s glam Carlyle Club wedding in Alexandria, Virginia was a sweet celebration of love and family! Laura’s bridal bouquet was a classic retro styled cascade bouquet. Bold stargazer lilies were accompanied with white peonies and roses, pale pink Sweet Eskimo roses, and pearl-studded stephanotis blossoms finished with lemon leaf and Italian ruscus foliage in an elegant, hand-tied cascade. Meanwhile, Laura’s honor attendants and bridesmaids carried lush, hand-tied bouquets created from distinctive pairings of light pink roses, white roses, ranunculus, and lisianthus, finished with touches of lemon leaf foliage. We loved this timeless look!

Modern Reception at Carlyle Club

For the couple’s glam Carlyle Club wedding, we filled the head table with gold geometric terrarium-style vases with petite designs of white or light pink flowers, seated in a bed of moss. Twinkling glass-enclosed pillar candles of varying heights added to the romance, while glass vases for the bridesmaids’ bouquets lent a finishing touch. Guest tables were adorned with glass vases containing submerged stems of pink mini calla lilies, tulips and orchids for a soft and stunning effect.

No inspiration photos. No flower list. No detailed design brief. Just a color palette and the freedom to run with it.

We took fuchsia, purple, and blue and turned them into layers of saturated color, unexpected textures, and flowers that made the whole room feel alive.

There’s something pretty magical about a client giving us a direction and then getting out of the way. They know their brand. We know flowers. And this is what happens when everyone trusts each other to do what they do best.

Give us the colors. We’ll take it from there. 🌸

The bouquet is often the first place a couple’s floral vision comes to life. It is the piece everyone notices up close, and it quietly sets the tone for the entire wedding design.⁣

For Mandana & Jan’s St. Francis Hall wedding, Mandana carried a cascading bouquet of white anemone, burgundy hanging amaranthus, roses and spray roses in shades of burgundy and cream, and burgundy protea accented with eucalyptus and jasmine vine. The shapes were bold and sculptural, which gave the bouquet a modern feeling while still feeling elegant against the historic backdrop of the hall. When a bouquet reflects the personality of the couple, it becomes more than just flowers. It becomes part of the story of the day.⁣

There’s something really special about designing flowers for a venue that already feels immersed in the landscape around it.⁣

At the Dockmaster Building, the water, sky, reflections, and light become part of the experience. The floor-to-ceiling glass and panoramic waterfront views create a setting that feels airy, modern, and completely different from the more traditional DC wedding venues we work in so often.⁣

We loved leaning into that atmosphere for Claire & Sean`s wedding with flowers that felt organic, textural, and romantic without competing with the architecture or the view.⁣
