Lavender Wedding at The Alexandrian Hotel

July 11, 2016

Dusty purples and ivories held the day for Jamie and Tim’s elegant spring wedding. They started their day with portraits at the monuments, and aren’t they just grand! Check out that amazing sky behind the group with the Washington Monument in the distance. Their story was also featured on WUSA9!

Jamie’s bouquet featured such a stunning mix of white peonies, lavender roses, spray roses, lisianthus, lilac and sweet pea accented with blue mascara and bright green touches of lady’s mantle. The bridesmaids’ bouquets featured roses, spray roses, stock, and lisianthus in shades of white and ivory, while the groom and groomsmen wore ivory roses.

The ceremony took place in the Alexandrian Hotel courtyard. Two lush designs of hydrangea, roses, spray roses, lisianthus, stock, and lilac flanked the couple, creating a focal point for the ceremony.

Centered on each of the tables for the reception was a black lantern encircled with a wreath of flowers. With hydrangea, roses, stock, and lilac in shades of purple and white for the bulk of the design, the accent of lady’s mantle provided looseness and texture. A mix of wedding flowers crowned the top of the tiny cake. We love seeing the ceremony arrangements on either side of the bride and groom’s sweetheart table!

We were thrilled to hear that the gem of a Georgetown venue, the City Tavern Club, was purchased and is no longer closing! A gorgeous historic space, the venue is situated in the heart of Georgetown and lends itself perfectly to elegant, classic affairs in its beautifully appointed space. It was the perfect site for Alexandra & Peter`s classic green and white floral palette, filled with roses, stock, larskpur and peonies, and truly evoked a timeless feeling.⁣

Yes, flower costs have gone up, and yes, we have a minimum for full service weddings. But making wedding flowers inaccessible? That feels icky to us.

Lavender isn’t a palette we get to work with too often, sadly, but when we do, we’re so excited to incorporate some of those gorgeous purple blooms like clematis, campanula and astrantia.⁣
Michelle and Sam’s wedding day at the Fairmont was straight out of a purple wonderland!⁣

Lush florals accented the bars at Claire and Sean’s lovely waterfront wedding day. They described the vision for their wedding as “Fun,⁣
Beautiful, a Touch of Nautical”, and when we saw these pictures of their wedding day, we thought to ourselves, "mission accomplished!" What a joy these two were. We loved bringing their whimsical blue vision to life. In fact, it was⁣ even featured as the cover wedding of @washingtonianweddings magazine!⁣ Lots of hydrangeas, roses, lisianthus, blue thistle, tweedia, stock and various greenery were used in creating this gorgeous design.⁣
