Few wedding venues are as romantic and elegant as the Hay Adams Hotel in Washington, DC, which is just one of the reasons we were thrilled to design Robin and Chuck’s flowers for their reception. Everything about the couple’s elegant Hay Adams wedding was sophisticated, including their classic winter white color palette! Creating a stunning contrast to Robin’s unique olive gown was her sophisticated, white-hued French hand-tied bouquet. Mini calla lilies were ringed with a collar of winter white astilbe and wrapped in ivory satin ribbon, finished with delicate pearl-headed pins. Chuck’s boutonnière was timeless and white as well, combining a complementary mini calla lily and winter white astilbe, wrapped in masculine black ribbon.
Reception in the John Hay Room
For the cocktail hour at the Hay Adams, we provided delicate tale arrangements consisting of artful stems of mini calla lilies, displayed in small vases. The elegant Hay Adams wedding reception remained classic, with centerpieces of lush, textured white hydrangea, white stock, ivory roses, white astilbe, white freesia, white mini calla lilies and white anemone, accented with green camelia foliage and displayed in gold mercury glass bowls. The sweet finale was a stunning cake topped with an elegant crown of mini calla lilies.
Congratulations to Robin and Chuck on their elegant Hay Adams DC wedding, with our warmest wishes for a lifetime of happiness together!
