Lavender Wedding at The Alexandrian Hotel

Lavender Wedding at The Alexandrian Hotel

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!

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.
