Newseum Washington DC Wedding

February 27, 2015

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.

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.⁣

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!⁣
