Hip Urban Wedding at Mess Hall

Hip Urban Wedding

As a designer, it’s always fun working with vivid colors, lush textures, and new venues! Megan and Joe’s hip urban wedding at Mess Hall in Washington, DC did not disappoint. If you’re looking for a raw, industrial space, Mess Hall is definitely one to consider. Nestled in one of DC’s newest hip neighborhoods, Mess Hall conveys an effortlessly cool vibe. From the urban loading dock for the ceremony to the graffiti and minimal warehouse decor, the venue is as unique as they come.

Moody Fall Floral Palette

Megan’s and her bridesmaids’ bouquets, it was all about the sophisticated palette of reds and burgundies with softer accent shades, as well as a diverse mix of beautiful blooms. Megan’s bridal bouquet included red Piano garden roses, lavender roses, peach stock and white rice flower, among which we tucked silver dollar eucalyptus, burgundy agionis foliage, and wispy white ostrich feathers. Her attendants carried complementary bouquets that featured Black Magic roses.

Industrial Ceremony Vibes

A dramatic copper arch served as the focal point for Megan and Joe’s hip urban wedding ceremony. The industrial feeling structure was accented with an asymmetrical design of silver dollar eucalyptus further finished with touches of ivory majolica spray roses.

Rustic Reception

For the reception, guests were seated at cozy long tables set with rustic, elegant centerpieces that perfectly suited Megan’s and Joe’s style. Designed in small, depression glass vases, each container held a mix of burgundy dahlia, burgundy ranunculus, and red zinnia, accented with silver dollar eucalyptus. We think the effect was gorgeous!

Megan and Joe’s hip urban wedding was a joy to help design, and we can’t thank them enough for including us in the festivities! Congratulations to the happy couple!

It’s Bike to Work Day — and while we usually pedal toward petals, we couldn’t resist sharing this creative twist from Elle & Bryan, one of our couples who wheeled their love of cycling straight into the ceremony. 🚲✨ 

Elle & Bryan’s wedding at Dumbarton House was full of charm, personal touches, and one especially fun nod to their love of cycling. Bicycle wheels became sculptural backdrops, proving that when it comes to personal touches, there’s no such thing as too niche.

Designing florals around unexpected objects? That’s our lane. And yes — it was all uphill in the best possible way.

A night of mystery and masquerade — and the perfect way to fête the 10th anniversary of The Scout Guide Alexandria and the launch of Vol. 10! ✨ 

We loved adding our signature touch of floral drama to this year’s launch party at the Hotel Heron. From a moody and dramatic entrance piece to a flower-filled car, sculptural arrangements on cocktail tables and elevated bar arrangements casting feathered shadows and moody textures, this event let us play in a world of whimsy and wonder.

We’re proud to be part of a guide that champions small businesses and celebrates creativity in our community. Supporting local means investing in the makers, doers, and dreamers who make Alexandria vibrant — and The Scout Guide does just that, beautifully. Cheers to Vol. 10! Special thanks to Sarah and Claire for always being so supportive and encouraging.
