Joe’s Seafood Wedding

Joe’s Seafood Wedding

Joe's Seafood wedding reception flowers

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.

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
