Newseum Washington DC Wedding

By far one of the most special things that happens for us is to work with families again and again – and this was the case for Annie and Josh for their Newseum Washington DC wedding. Having previously provided flowers for Michelle’s Westin Georgetown wedding in 2012, it was a heartwarming experience to craft floral magic once again for her sister’s special day at the Newseum last fall.

Annie and Josh exchanged vows in the unique ambiance of the Newseum’s Knight Conference Center, a departure from traditional venues but a perfect match for their contemporary vision. The October weather set the scene for exquisite terrace photos, capturing the essence of fall, followed by an evening of dancing and celebration surrounded by cherished friends and family.

The floral palette embraced the warmth of fall with a mix of what we fondly term “fall neutral.” Featuring garden roses, dahlias, calla lilies, peach stock, and subtle silver accents of dusty miller and brunea pods, the style was a harmonious blend of texture and sophistication.

For the chuppah, simple yet elegant bamboo poles adorned with designs of white hydrangea, ivory roses, peach and white stock, white dendrobium orchids, and hints of dusty miller foliage and silver brunea pods at the top corners created a stunning focal point.

This delightful floral palette seamlessly transitioned into the reception. Incorporating a touch of modern flair, white glass cylinder vases showcased a textured arrangement of white hydrangea, white and peach stock, ivory and champagne roses, ivory spray roses, white lisianthus, and white dahlias. Silver dusty miller and silver brunea pods added a sophisticated finishing touch.

Annie and Josh’s Newseum wedding was a testament to the beauty of blending modernity with timeless elegance. If you’re envisioning a Washington DC wedding that combines unique venues, stunning florals, and a touch of contemporary charm, the Newseum is the perfect backdrop for your unforgettable celebration.

From ceremony… to reception! Amanda and Brian’s winter wedding was filled with rich seasonal beauty. ❄ Their palette of creams, berry, and blush with natural accents brought warmth and romance to the rotunda ceremony. After vows were exchanged, our team transitioned the tall centerpieces into the ballroom for a show-stopping moment. Repurposing florals isn’t just practical, it creates a seamless design story and keeps the celebration feeling elevated from start to finish. ✨⁣

Diane & Michael’s autumn wedding at the Westin Georgetown redefined fall florals. 💙 Instead of the traditional rust and burgundy hues, their palette celebrated cooler tones: light blue hydrangea, lavender stock, and blue and lavender delphinium layered with roses and spray roses, even whimsical purple globe allium. Lush greenery framed the look, adding depth and texture. The result was elegant and unexpected — a design that felt fresh, refined, and utterly romantic in every detail. ✨

The garden terrace at the St. Regis is stunning on its own, with stately trees and a landscaped patio just steps from the White House. For Katie and Doug’s fall wedding, we added lush urn designs of baby’s breath and camellia branches to frame their vows with a soft, romantic touch. After the ceremony, our team transitioned the designs indoors to flank their sweetheart table. We love finding thoughtful ways to give designs double duty. 🍂✨⁣

Minimal never means boring. At the National Museum of Women in the Arts, we designed with intention: bud vases filled with single white roses paired with black taper candles and glowing votives. The look was crisp, modern, and architectural, yet still romantic when lit. ✨ We love how repeating the smallest details across an entire room creates atmosphere and drama — proof that simplicity, when done with care, can be just as striking as the grandest installation. 🖤 🤍

Spring 2026 weddings are already coming in hot, and one style we’re seeing again and again is the timeless pairing of blue and white. ✨ Paige and Andrew’s summer wedding ceremony at the DC War Memorial followed by a celebration at Sequoia proved just how fresh this palette can feel in the warmer months. Creams and blues layered with texture and detail created a look that was both classic and modern, perfectly suited to their waterfront celebration. Trends may come and go, but this color story never loses its edge. 💙🤍⁣

Fiery autumn hues turned the Hotel Monaco into a warm and romantic retreat for Katie and Lucas’ celebration. 🍂 We embraced a palette of golden yellows and vibrant oranges, pairing orchids, roses, and dahlias with dramatic curly willow to create a whimsical yet elevated design. The mix of texture and color gave the ballroom a glow that felt both seasonal and timeless. This wedding is proof that bold palettes can be just as classic as neutrals when paired with thoughtful design. ✨⁣
