Modern Yellow Wedding at Carnegie Institute

Modern Yellow Wedding

Emily and Mark hosted an intimate winter wedding at the Carnegie Institute. Warm shades of yellow brightened up what was otherwise a typical, December day. Emily carried a bridal bouquet of beautiful white and ivory peonies, roses, ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, and mini-calla lilies. Mark’s boutonniere featured a sleek and streamlined white mini-calla lily, while the rest of the men wore white ranunculus blossoms and smaller spray roses for the ring bearers.

Ceremony in the Rotunda

The ceremony took place in the stately rotunda. A simple white-poled chuppah provided the focal point for the ceremony. Each pole was seated in a white planter box filled with a lush design of hydrangea, stock, roses, and spray roses in shades of white and yellow. The couple’s tallit served as the canopy over the structure.

Elegant Yellow and Grey Wedding Palette

Elegant, long tables dressed in a beautiful gray and white patterned linen extended the length of the ballroom in three rows for the modern yellow wedding. Two rows featured a collection of white vases of varying heights, each with monobotanic designs in shades of yellow. The vases were interspersed with sleek, glass vases with a white phalaenopsis orchid stem. On the center table, the collection of flowers was further filled in with a lush bank of hydrangea, stock, roses, and spray roses.

Theres something about September that always feels like a turning point. The days are still warm, but the morning is a bit cooler. School is back in session. The light starts to change. And after a long DC summer, you do all get that first day when you can open the door and think, yes, fall really is coming. 🍁 

For me fall has always been tied to the rhythm of the school year. Kids going back to school and calendars filling up. Pulling sweaters out of the back of the closet, and thinking about Halloween before you’re quite ready to admit summer is over. 

In the studio, autumn has another rhythm. September and October weddings - arguably our busiest time of the year - paired with all sorts of fun things. Pods, berries, grasses and all sorts of funky things. 

I think there’s a reason fall weddings always feel so right. It’s a season built around change. The landscape shifts, the light softens, the year begins winding down… and in the midst of that, two people choose to begin something. 

Maybe that’s what I love about this time of year. Autumn can feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. So here’s to another fall wedding season, changing leaves, cooler nights (no mosquitoes), celebrations and all the new beginnings still ahead.
Classic roses. Ethereal baby’s breath. And bleached ruscus for some fashion forward style. Classic with an edge.
