Modern Yellow Wedding at Carnegie Institute

April 19, 2017

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.

We were thrilled to hear that the gem of a Georgetown venue, the City Tavern Club, was purchased and is no longer closing! A gorgeous historic space, the venue is situated in the heart of Georgetown and lends itself perfectly to elegant, classic affairs in its beautifully appointed space. It was the perfect site for Alexandra & Peter`s classic green and white floral palette, filled with roses, stock, larskpur and peonies, and truly evoked a timeless feeling.⁣

Yes, flower costs have gone up, and yes, we have a minimum for full service weddings. But making wedding flowers inaccessible? That feels icky to us.

Whether you’re dreaming or an over the top floral experience or you just want a beautiful bouquet, we have a pathway to make it happen. ✨

Lavender isn’t a palette we get to work with too often, sadly, but when we do, we’re so excited to incorporate some of those gorgeous purple blooms like clematis, campanula and astrantia.⁣
Michelle and Sam’s wedding day at the Fairmont was straight out of a purple wonderland!⁣

Lush florals accented the bars at Claire and Sean’s lovely waterfront wedding day. They described the vision for their wedding as “Fun,⁣
Beautiful, a Touch of Nautical”, and when we saw these pictures of their wedding day, we thought to ourselves, "mission accomplished!" What a joy these two were. We loved bringing their whimsical blue vision to life. In fact, it was⁣ even featured as the cover wedding of @washingtonianweddings magazine!⁣ Lots of hydrangeas, roses, lisianthus, blue thistle, tweedia, stock and various greenery were used in creating this gorgeous design.⁣
