Jennifer and Doug’s wedding was like a study in the Color Wheel! Using shades of blue with complementary oranges to pop, this summer National Museum of Women in the Arts wedding was one of our recent favorites. Jennifer kept her bouquet romantic and subdued in soft ivories, peaches, grays and pale blues. Light blue delphinium, peach Juliet garden roses, and blue-gray succulents looked romantic against the ivory mini-calla lilies and spray roses. The wedding party donned bolder hues with rich orange dahlia, burnt orange mokara orchids, peach stock, and orange spray roses, paired with expressive blue thistle, light blue delphinium, and finished with dusty miller foliage.
The ceremony took place under the crystal chandeliers of the Great Hall and Mezzanine of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and kept the palette soft with the colors and flowers of Jennifer’s bouquet. The romantic chuppah fabric was cinched with elongated posies. The summer National Museum of Women in the Arts wedding was perfectly complemented by the soft tones of the ceremony scheme.
The reception packed a punch with dramatic blues and oranges with three different centerpiece designs. One centerpiece was a monochromatic design creating an ombre effect from emanating from the center out. In the middle, a vase of dramatic orange dahlia was placed, then two of peach roses, and the outer most vases held white hydrangea. Long stems of blue delphinium, gladiola, calla lilies, white dendrobium orchids and burnt orange mokara orchids made dramatic centerpieces, and event planner Sara Muchnick Events found incredible table settings to finish the festive tablescapes, a finishing touch to the summer National Museum of Women in the Arts wedding,
