Intimate Meridian House Wedding

If it’s one thing we learned in 2020, it’s that small weddings are far from mundane! No matter how small the guest list, there’s no reason to sacrifice style or memorable details. Ali and Andrew’s intimate Meridian House wedding took place in the Linden Grove, which became the ultimate one-stop space for an effortless and classic affair.

We loved the use of varying shades of green foliage throughout. Lush magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary and olive leaf were complemented with white and ivory blooms. Ali’s bouquet featured ivory garden roses, white ranunculus, and ivory majolica spray roses accented with the mix of magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary and olive, lending a classic and organic feel to the event. And really, shouldn’t every wedding day start with walking the dog in your finest?

We are big fans of the Linden Grove. It is the perfect space for an intimate Meridian House wedding ceremony. The doors from the loggia made for an elegant entrance, while the trees form a natural aisle in the outdoor space. Garden urns flanked the couple for the ceremony. And don’t miss the special guest of honor with the best seat in the house!

But we love the Linden Grove even more for an intimate Meridian House wedding reception! Gold mercury mint julep cups were filled with lush wedding foliages accented with ivory spray roses. And can we talk about that gorgeous green velvet linen on the bar?! So luxe. Finished perfectly with a bar arrangement of textured white blooms paired with magnolia, olive leaf, rosemary and eucalyptus in a gold mercury bowl.

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.

Some venues need flowers that make a statement. Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is all about atmosphere.⁣
⁣
The exposed brick, warm lighting, and intimate scale already bring so much character to the space, so we leaned into layered candlelight, soft movement, and garden inspired flowers that felt romantic without overpowering the architecture.⁣

One of our favorite DC venues for couples who want their wedding to feel elegant, warm, and completely immersive.⁣
