Modern Newseum Wedding

If it’s one thing we love in Washington, DC it’s our spectacular rooftops and views! This modern Newseum wedding proves that different can be beautiful. When Sara and Andrew began their process, their vision for the wedding was unique. They wanted a modern design with bold color, whimsical shapes and textures, and strong color contrast. Sara and Andrew’s wedding at Newseum in Washington, DC featured stunning views, spectacular blooms and, of course, lots of love!

Shaded Palette

The bouquets were gorgeous combination of classic garden flowers with unique accents. Sara’s bridal bouquet was created on the softer side of the palette, embracing a range of white and pale peach hues. Among the flowers in the French hand-tied design were peach Juliet garden roses, white roses and spray roses, white lisianthus, white mini-calla lilies, white stock, and white scabiosa. Her bridesmaids’ bouquets popped against their teal-hued gowns, with their peach Juliet garden roses, roses and spray roses in varying shades of orange, orange coxcomb, and orange dahlia. The groom and groomsmen each wore striking boutonnieres featuring orange spray roses accented with artful loops of bear grass.

Ceremony with a View

Sara and Andrew’s chuppah was a clean-lined, modern white structure supporting a ruched white fabric. An asymmetrical design of flowers anchored the top left corner, while an opposing piece balanced the lower right side. The flowers reflected a dazzling palette of rich oranges – roses and spray roses, mokara orchids, snapdragons, pin cushion protea and Chinese lanterns. The effect for the modern Newseum wedding ceremony was striking and dramatic against the cloud-dappled skyline, and a perfect frame for the Capitol in the distance.

Cocktail Hour & Reception

At the reception, the couple’s escort table was set with a collection of tapered glass vases, each displaying a rich profusion of orange crocosmia, orange pin cushion protea, orange roses, orange snapdragons, orange mokara orchids, orange dahlia, and orange spray roses.

As guests progressed to the reception at the modern Newseum wedding, they’re greeted with long tables dressed in bright blue linens. The linens featured a series of white glass rectangle vases of varying heights. Each vase was filled with a lush, textured design of orange flowers, from romantic and classic roses, spray roses, and dahlia to more unique blooms such as coxcomb, Chinese lantern, and orchids. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were a beautiful accompaniment to their one-of-a-kind cake!

 

Congratulations to Sara and Andrew, and thank you for allowing us to enhance your gorgeous wedding with so much gorgeous color!

We are back at Woodend this coming week, and it has us reminiscing about Amanda and Jack’s whimsical, wonderful, William Morris-inspired dream of a wedding with an Art Nouveau twist. The wedding layered bohemian textures, vintage details, woodland creatures and, of course, romantic blooms into a palette that felt both grounded and poetic. Think climbing vines, golden light, and flowers that felt like they had stepped out of an heirloom wallpaper print - in the best way. We’re still swooning. 💫

A rooftop celebration that proves timeless can still be bold. For Elaine & Trey’s wedding at Capitol View at 400, we leaned into classic green and white, but elevated it with sculptural greenery installations, gold Harlow stands, and skyline views that stretched for miles. A ceiling of foliage softened the tented space, while sleek black bridesmaid dresses added contrast and edge. Clean, refined, and impossibly romantic.
