Hay Adams Wedding

Wedding couple post in front of Washington monument

Chrissy and Warren’s Hay Adams wedding was the definition of a glamorous. With its timeless palette of black tuxedos and bridesmaids’ gowns and lavish white flowers, all against the backdrop of our nation’s capital, it was undoubtedly an event to remember!

For Chrissy, we designed an elegant, French hand-tied bridal bouquet in classic whites and ivories. White garden roses, ivory Vendela roses, white ranunculus, and white lisianthus were wrapped in ivory double-faced satin ribbon in a crisscross design.

Each of her bridesmaids carried lush, French hand-tied bouquets of Vendela roses, wrapped with black satin ribbon.

Warren’s boutonniere showcased a flawless white rose accented with artful loops of bear grass. For the remaining boutonnieres, we created a similar style with ivory spray roses accented with bear grass.

At the couple’s Hay Adams wedding reception, we festooned the tables with a mix of two striking glamorous wedding centerpiece designs. Half the tables featured a tall, glass pilsner-style vase topped with a gorgeous, rounded design of white hydrangea, white stock, ivory roses and spray roses, and white lisianthus finished with draping accents of white phalaenopsis orchids. Soft candlelight twinkled from the six stemmed glass containers of varying heights, each with a floating candle.

The remaining tables were adorned with a tall, crystal candelabra, anchored by a trio of lush designs of white hydrangea and white roses and garden roses, each displayed in a gold-rimmed cylinder vase.

Special thanks to Chrissy and Warren for including us as part of such a magical event – best wishes for a lifetime of happiness together!

Oh how we love a room shot…

Don’t get us wrong! Give us all the delicious little flower close-ups. We want to see every ruffly petal and perfect place setting.

But then BACK UP!

Because this is the moment we’ve been thinking about all along. How do those centerpieces fill the room? Where does your eye go first? Do the tall pieces actually feel tall beneath a 20-foot ceiling? 

Does the whole thing have rhythm?

Seeing all of those individual pieces finally come together into one beautiful room never, ever gets old.

Twenty-plus years in and we still get a little giddy about it.
