Organic Wedding at Capitol View at 400

Organic Wedding at Capitol View at 400

When Elaine and Trey first came to us, their vision was for a modern wedding in green, black and white. They wanted it to feel organic and contemporary yet classic. It was a look right up our alley! And as we maneuvered a date change and then a venue change, the vision for an organic wedding at Capitol View remained the same. And with a lush ceiling treatment of smilax nestled among twinkling lights, we brought the venue to life!

Elaine’s bouquet was a classic beauty in greens and whites. Lush garden roses, ranunculus and lisianthus popped against the movement and texture of ruscus and eucalyptus foliage. The similar whites and greens in the bridesmaids’ flowers stood out against their black dresses, and Elaine’s mother carried a darling posy of white sweet pea.

The rooftop ceremony was focused on the Capitol. Lush foliage-focused designs marked the ceremony entrance and altar, a stylish accent that didn’t obscure the view. It was the right touch for the organic wedding at Capitol View.

What made this organic wedding at Capitol View so special was the attention to all the details. The organic touch that greenery brings was the theme of the day, with accents even greeting guests on the welcome sign as they arrived at the venue, and amidst gold-rimmed terrarium on the escort card table. Vining amongst the twinkle lights, the smilax ceiling treatment transformed the tent. Tables alternated with an elevated design that focused on greenery atop gold Harlow stands, a clean-lined, modern complement to the organic centerpieces. Lush designs of white hydrangea, stock, garden roses and anemone in gold bowls were on the remaining tables, the anemone bringing in a sophisticated touch of black. The sweetheart table featured a garland across the front, with unstructured touches of smilax finishing the look. We particularly loved the lush bank of flowers that fronted the band. And if that wasn’t enough, each place setting featured a sprig of greenery.

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.
