Modern Style for District Winery Wedding

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!

In a city known for grand beaux arts mansions and classic ballroom weddings, there’s something so refreshing about the industrial architecture of Ritz-Carlton Georgetown.⁣
The exposed brick, steel details, and warm textures create a completely different kind of romance. It feels moodier, more intimate, and unexpectedly modern while still feeling unmistakably DC.⁣
⁣
We love the design opportunities a venue like this presents. Soft, garden inspired flowers against raw architectural elements will always be one of our favorite contrasts.⁣

How did we get these lemon arrangements from Point A to Point B with everything still attached? 🍋

Plastic wrap.

Floral design is equal parts beauty, engineering, and MacGyvering. Making it pretty is one thing. Figuring out how to transport it safely is a whole other skill.

A moongate arch dressed in nothing but lush greenery - lemon leaf, ruscus, eucalyptus - and that was just the beginning. 🌿 Sometimes the most stunning designs are the ones that let the natural beauty do the talking. Lindsay and Matt`s classic Woodlawn ceremony is proof that simple, done really well, is always enough. 🤍⁣

This bouquet lives rent free in my head, but not for the reason you think.⁣
⁣
Our bride, Ana, had chosen stunning fuchsia cattleya orchids for her bouquet, so, as we always do, we ordered them well in advance. When our flowers arrived, I opened the box to find... white cattleya orchids. Beautiful, but not what our bride wanted. We immediately called our wholesaler and arranged for another shipment.⁣
⁣
Two days later, I opened the second box. White orchids. Again.⁣
⁣
This is the kind of moment that tries a florist`s soul.⁣
⁣
We arranged for a third shipment to arrive Saturday morning while preparing backup plans we hoped we`d never need. We debated telling Ana what was happening, but ultimately decided our job wasn`t to hand her our problem. Our job was to solve it.⁣
⁣
The correct orchids arrived Saturday morning. Ana walked down the aisle carrying the bouquet she`d dreamed of. She never knew any of this had happened.⁣
⁣
The flowers are only part of what you`re hiring when you chose a florist. You`re also hiring someone who will fight for your vision. Who will MacGyver like their life depends on it. Because substitutions aren`t made casually; they`re made only after every reasonable option has been exhausted.⁣
⁣
There`s an ethical dilemma at the heart of this story. As the bride, would you have wanted to know? As the florist, what would you have done?⁣
