Osprey’s at Belmont Bay Wedding

We pride ourselves in working closely with our couples to create designs that are personal and stylish. When creating Brooke and Wayan’s wedding at Osprey’s at Belmont Bay, this was true – with some 2,300 miles between us! They had the challenge of planning a DC area wedding from the left coast, with the help of a planner and email. The expression on Brooke’s face when we presented her with her bouquet said we nailed it. The vision for the wedding was soft and romantic, with peach and cream tones accented with natural champagne and brown hues for an organic feel. To embrace the fall look, flowers were accented with dried seed pods and pheasant feathers. Brooke’s bridal bouquet featured Juliet garden roses, champagne roses, ivory spray roses, peach calla lilies, and pale pink lisianthus accented with scabiosa and dried lotus pods, dried wheat and seeded eucalyptus. Wayan wore an elegant garden rose boutonniere accented with wheat, feathers, and scabiosa pods. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were similar to the bridal, similar but smaller.

Waterfront Ceremony

The ceremony for the wedding took place on a beautiful fall day overlooking the water, one of the unique outdoor features of the venue. A lush seed eucalyptus garland accented the archway at the site, further evoking the magic of a fall garden with touches of stock, roses, spray roses, dried what and lotus pods. Rustic bisque mason jars were filled with wedding flowers in shades of peach, champagne and ivory finished with rustic touches of wheat and seeded eucalyptus.

Rustic Reception

Entering for the wedding reception, guests were treated with a bisque-toned urn filled with a lush design of hydrangea, roses, stock, and lisianthus in shades of peach, champagne, and ivory accented with rustic touches of wheat, lotus pods and pheasant feathers for a rustic flair. Centered on each of the tables, wood boxes were filled with similar hues and textures.

Blooming branches – that harbinger of new beginnings, a flower whose very appearance serves as the epitaph to winter. But that sweet symbolism isn’t the only reason we love them!

Very few botanical elements feature both soft edges AND the jutting architecture of flowering branches. As floral designers, we adore the juxtaposition of soft, demure pastels with their sheer height and commanding presence. There’s just something about that that just screams wedding, don’t you think?

So don’t be afraid to branch out and get creative. Blooming branches look spectacular in weddings – in everything from ceremony arches to reception decor – and create a big impactful look.

It’s been a very long time since floral centerpieces were just flowers in a vase. Today’s centerpieces have multiple elements, loads of candles, things that have to be assembled and even built on-site. And yet the presumption persists that the florist is just going to show up with a box that can be left in the corner for someone else to place on the table.

Putting aside the fact that we take far more pride in our work than that… to say that we value logistics and planning is an understatement!! And logistics are truly our skill set. We can tell you how many man hours a particular installation will take and can design for efficiency. It’s truly our super power.

Most floral design relies on other things being in place. Not useful? “You can get into the room at this time.” Actually useful? “The bar you’re building that cascading piece on will in place no later than X o’clock.” But more than that? Start realizing that event demands are not what they used to be.
