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.

Theres something about September that always feels like a turning point. The days are still warm, but the morning is a bit cooler. School is back in session. The light starts to change. And after a long DC summer, you do all get that first day when you can open the door and think, yes, fall really is coming. 🍁

For me fall has always been tied to the rhythm of the school year. Kids going back to school and calendars filling up. Pulling sweaters out of the back of the closet, and thinking about Halloween before you’re quite ready to admit summer is over.

In the studio, autumn has another rhythm. September and October weddings - arguably our busiest time of the year - paired with all sorts of fun things. Pods, berries, grasses and all sorts of funky things.

I think there’s a reason fall weddings always feel so right. It’s a season built around change. The landscape shifts, the light softens, the year begins winding down… and in the midst of that, two people choose to begin something.

Maybe that’s what I love about this time of year. Autumn can feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. So here’s to another fall wedding season, changing leaves, cooler nights (no mosquitoes), celebrations and all the new beginnings still ahead.

Amy & Reuben’s wedding photos are here, and I forgot how much I loved this palette! White flowers, loads of green, and black woven through just enough to make everything feel a little sharper.⁣
⁣
We used anemones, ranunculus, roses, sweet pea and stock, with big, loose greenery moments throughout the room. It was springy without being pastel, classic without feeling too traditional, and so much fun to see all together at the Park Hyatt.⁣
⁣
Also, that bouquet. 🤍🖤⁣

Classic roses. Ethereal baby’s breath. And bleached ruscus for some fashion forward style. Classic with an edge.

Every florist has had this conversation. 😂

We spend a lot of time talking about flowers, mechanics, color palettes, and installations.⁣
But every once in a while we`re reminded that flowers aren`t really the point.⁣
⁣
They`re the backdrop to the moments people remember.⁣
⁣
Tiffiannii & Minerva`s celebration, made possible through Wish Upon a Wedding, was one of those reminders. The flowers mattered. The celebration mattered more.⁣
⁣
And that`s exactly how it should be.⁣
