Modern Style for District Winery Wedding

May 30, 2019

Modern District Winery Wedding

While warm, intimate and absolutely stunning, Terri and Brandon’s modern wedding District Winery embraced clean lines and modern design for a feel that was contemporary and upbeat. The rich florals evoked some of the most delicious wine varietals! For Terri’s bridal bouquet, elegant and textured was our goal. A mix of blooms including blush Juliet garden roses, peach roses and stock, burgundy mini calla lilies, and chocolate cosmos were gathered together for an impact that was at once romantic and lush. The bridesmaids carried complementary bouquets in the same soft peach hues, hand-tied with burgundy satin ribbon. Brandon’s groomsmen wore sophisticated boutonnieres consisting of peach spray roses, while the groom’s boutonniere featured a burgundy mini calla lily accented with artful loops of bear grass.

Modern Ceremony Style

The couple’s ceremony setup was especially striking, with two modern altar arrangements set on pedestals. Birch logs lined the interior of two glass cylinder vases, topped them with a lush design of white hydrangea, peach stock and roses, burgundy spray roses, and burgundy scabiosa. Asymmetrical designs of white phalaenopsis orchids cascaded from the lush bank of flowers. The aisle was punctuated by black lanterns, along with a scattering of peach rose petals to demarcate the bride’s path.

Intimate Reception

When it was time for guests to celebrate at the couple’s modern District Winery wedding reception, they were treated to the visual of centerpieces easily as delicious-looking as the catering! Glass rectangle vases were filled with a mix of white hydrangea as well as peach stock, garden roses and spray roses, finished with touches of burgundy mini calla lilies and chocolate cosmos. It was the perfect ambience for Terri and Brandon’s wedding festivities!

It’s Bike to Work Day — and while we usually pedal toward petals, we couldn’t resist sharing this creative twist from Elle & Bryan, one of our couples who wheeled their love of cycling straight into the ceremony. 🚲✨

Elle & Bryan’s wedding at Dumbarton House was full of charm, personal touches, and one especially fun nod to their love of cycling. Bicycle wheels became sculptural backdrops, proving that when it comes to personal touches, there’s no such thing as too niche.

Designing florals around unexpected objects? That’s our lane. And yes — it was all uphill in the best possible way.

We love a ceremony moment that makes jaws drop—and Jasmine & Edmond`s wedding at Lansdowne Resort did not disappoint.✨ We framed the aisle with lush florals and stately columns to create the dreamiest walk for our bride and to frame the couple. For the reception, we went all in with tall centerpieces featuring hanging orbs, low lush designs, and the soft flicker of candles tucked into gold geometric terrariums. Soft, glowing, and full of movement—just the kind of floral story we love telling from aisle to afterparty.⁣

Tall centerpieces add depth and dimension to your wedding space. We always recommend doing half or so of your tables with tall centerpieces, when possible. It will truly change the whole look of the room in the best way possible!⁣

A night of mystery and masquerade — and the perfect way to fête the 10th anniversary of The Scout Guide Alexandria and the launch of Vol. 10! ✨

We loved adding our signature touch of floral drama to this year’s launch party at the Hotel Heron. From a moody and dramatic entrance piece to a flower-filled car, sculptural arrangements on cocktail tables and elevated bar arrangements casting feathered shadows and moody textures, this event let us play in a world of whimsy and wonder.

We’re proud to be part of a guide that champions small businesses and celebrates creativity in our community. Supporting local means investing in the makers, doers, and dreamers who make Alexandria vibrant — and The Scout Guide does just that, beautifully. Cheers to Vol. 10! Special thanks to Sarah and Claire for always being so supportive and encouraging.

It`s been a year with Sapna & Ravi`s wedding at Fathom Gallery, and it’s been living rent free in our heads for the past 365 days. Who could forget the vibrant colors, the romantic draping, the delicate garlands of carnations... Not planning to evict any time soon. 😉⁣

Happy anniversary to Sapna & Ravi! 🌹 ⁣
