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.

My social media is currently being populated with the news of Uranus leaving Taurus and what than means. I am certainly no expert astrologer, but if last weekend is a harbinger of things to come, it’s going to be a fantastic new period! We’ve weathered many challenges over the last eight years, things that have encouraged us to change and innovate, and Petal’s Edge is a stronger and more versatile company for it. 🥂

Oh the places we go! Working inside Folger Shakespeare Library is such a full circle moment for me. I once worked in art museums, so being back in a space like this (now with flowers?!) just makes me so happy. Truly honored to be part of this Friday’s gala 💫 , but in the meantime, here’s a throwback to last year’s event!

Time is not a florist’s friend. From the time this ever so perishable product arrives to when we set things up in meager timelines while dodging people - not to mention waiting for others to finish their part before we can start ours… Let’s just say it’s a challenge, but one we meet head on each week with ingenuity. Planning, pre-planning and even more planning. It’s not always sexy but it gets the job done.

Alexandra & Brian’s wedding at River Farm had that early summer, just-gathered feeling that never tries too hard but still feels completely considered. The palette stayed soft. Think pastel wildflowers with a little movement, nothing too tight or overly styled. Everything felt natural to the setting.⁣
⁣
The ceremony unfolded under the big tree with an arch that felt like it had grown there, loose and garden-inspired in shades of pale pink, light blue, cream, and lavender. It set the tone for the entire day.⁣
⁣
For the reception, long tables were filled all the way down with milk glass, blue mason jars, and pieces of depression glass, each one holding a slightly different mix of flowers. It created that full, abundant look that makes a space feel warm and inviting, while still leaving room for everything the evening needed to hold.⁣
Personal, relaxed, and quietly layered in a way that lets the setting - and the people in it - shine.⁣
