Modern Spring Wedding

Modern Spring Wedding

Cherry blossom centerpiece

Isobel and Brian’s wedding took place in early April, the very start of cherry blossom season in Washington. It’s a magical time of year for a wedding, as the blossoms hold a delicate and ethereal presence uniquely available for one short time of each year. We love the modern spring wedding interpretation our couple brought to their festivities.

Isobel carried a beautiful and classic bouquet of white roses, white mini-calla lilies, and white phalaenopsis orchids accented with silver-hued dusty miller.  Brian wore a matching phalaenopsis orchid accented with dusty miller.  The bridesmaids carried lush bouquets of white peonies (not pictured).

The ceremony took place at the Friends Meeting House of Washington, which is marked with an in-the-round set up of wood pews.  To add a touch of simple romance, tall glass cylinder vases of varying heights were lined up on a back pew while pillows in ivories and browns added a personal touch to the set up.

A dramatic design of pink and white cherry blossom branches greeted guests on the escort card table, the first thing they would see as they arrived at the Metropolitan Club for the reception.

The mix of tall and low designs on the reception tables presented a classic and yet modern elegance.  Tall glass cylinder vases held white cherry blossom branches while low glass flinders held similar flowers to the bridal bouquet – white roses, calla lilies, and phalaenopsis orchids accented with dusty miller. For the cake, phalaenopsis blossoms cascaded effortlessly down the tiers on one side, a simple modern spring wedding statement piece.

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.

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.
