2020 was without a doubt a year of challenges. And while on the surface, the pictures reflect only Leah and Matt’s romantic Mount Vernon Inn wedding, it was a wedding that faced one of the biggest challenges of the year. While the first wave of closures was definitely harrowing, we all thought by that fall things were safely proceeding. Smaller, masked, outdoors – whatever the set of rules was. But the week of Leah and Matt’s wedding, the Virginia governor changed the gathering limit from the ample guest count that had been in place to a limit of 25 people.

The wedding was a testament to the perseverance and professionalism of the wedding industry. The whole team pulled together to make the most of the undeniable disappointment. With the flowers that had already been ordered, we channeled our efforts into fulfilling the couple’s wish list. Instead of the 13 tables originally planned, we created a dreamy, moon arch in classic whites and greens, something the couple had initially wanted but was out of their budget. It proved to be the most memorable, lush and romantic backdrop for their Mount Vernon Inn wedding. We brought in candles to ramp up the romance, finishing the aisle with a delicate touch of white rose petals.

Leah’s bouquet was everything delicate and lacy and lush. Winter’s best peonies paired with the most juicy white ranunculus, wispy Queen Anne’s lace, white snapdragons, and fluffy pampas grass complemented by a bounty of eucalyptus foliage.

The reception for the romantic Mount Vernon Inn wedding took place in the Verandah Room. Long tables were set with gold chargers and lush, floral runners of hydrangea, roses, stock, and ranunculus in classic whites, accented with Queen Anne’s lace and ruscus and lemon leaf foliage. We contributed to the design, pulling from our inventory of cut glass candlesticks and taper candles to finish the romantic tablescape.

We wish Leah and Matt much happiness in their life together. Despite the challenges, the romantic Mount Vernon Inn wedding showed there was much to hope for.

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.
