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.

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨ 

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level 

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance

Not all green and white floral palettes are created equal. This one here will NEVER go out of style and is truly as timeless as they come! Magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary, and delicate touches of white… Add velvet linens and gold touches, and we’re smitten... 😍
