Joe’s Seafood Wedding

There’s one thing we love about a restaurant wedding, and Katherine and Jared’s Joe’s Seafood Wedding was as effortless and elegant as any. Our beautiful couple’s day may have started out with a rainy morning, but the occasion was hardly spoiled, as evident in both the happy faces of the wedding party and the bright and cheery palette of saturated berry tones. The ceremony took place at Dahlgren Chapel on the campus of Georgetown University. To complement the bridesmaids’ brightly hued dresses, the flowers reflected vibrant raspberry, cranberry and blueberry tones.

Katherine’s bouquet was classic in feel – whites and ivories with natural accents of green. Within the body of ivory ‘Vendela’ roses, white lisianthus, stock, dahlia, and freesia, subtle hints of green were reflected not through any intentional green flowers but from small, unbloomed buds. The bridesmaids’ bouquets used ‘Black Magic’ roses, raspberry pink spray roses, fuchsia dendrobium orchids, light pink stock, burgundy dahlia, and blue-black viburnum berries. The flower girls’ simple white wicker baskets held petite arrangements of flowers similar to the bridesmaids’ bouquets.

The Joe’s Seafood Wedding reception aimed to create a classic elegance, with berry tones paired with warm golds. Half the tables were centered with gold bowls of hydrangea, stock, dahlia, and roses in pinks and burgundies complemented with unusual textures like red rose hips, pink gomphrena, and blue-black viburnum berries.  Burgundy hanging amaranthus lent an old world feel to the design. For the balance of the tables, similar designs were created in clusters of gold mint julep-style vases. A simple white cake was finished with burgundy dahlia, the bridesmaids’ bouquets placed around the base.

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨ 

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level 

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance

Not all green and white floral palettes are created equal. This one here will NEVER go out of style and is truly as timeless as they come! Magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary, and delicate touches of white… Add velvet linens and gold touches, and we’re smitten... 😍
