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!

The 2026 Folger Gala had a vision for an event that was described by words like opulent Regency, peacock feathers, trailing plants, still life, Bridgerton. The linen choices were vibrant, full of pattern, and eclectic. We designed their arrangements with movement, color, texture and flower choices that worked with lighting for a truly incredible event. 

Never underestimate the power of color and texture to make a big statement.

Elaine & Trey were originally supposed to be married in 2020. Like so many couples, they had to postpone.

On the eve of what would have been their originally planned wedding day, Elaine’s bridesmaids reached out with the sweetest idea: send her flowers along with a note reminding her that her celebration was still ahead. Instead of creating a random arrangement, we decided to surprise her with something even more meaningful: a preview of her wedding flowers. Specifically, a sample of what her reception centerpieces would look like.

I still remember walking up to her front door. It was painted the most beautiful shade of green, and I remember thinking, “Of course it is.” Somehow it fit her perfectly. You pick up on little things like that when you spend your life getting to know couples.

A little while later, Elaine reached out. While she had no idea what we’d done, she simply said she’d just received flowers, and they were EXACTLY what she’d always imagined for her wedding.

People often assume wedding flower consultations are about scrolling through Pinterest or recreating someone else’s designs. For me, they’re about listening.

Over the years, I’ve learned to hear not just what couples say, but what they mean. To recognize when a single word holds an entire vision that hasn’t quite found its language yet. My job isn’t simply to copy inspiration photos (but we’re good at that, too). It’s to translate hopes, personalities, and half-formed ideas into flowers that feel unmistakably them.

Sometimes, that means getting it exactly right before they’ve ever seen a single bloom
