Perry Belmont House Wedding

Wedding couple post in front of stairs at Perry Belmont House

Natacha and Chris celebrated their special day with an opulent wedding at the prestigious Perry Belmont House. Sometimes referred to as the International Order of the Eastern Star, the Beaux-Arts style building is one of several organizations affiliated with Freemasonry. Designed by French architect Ernst-Paul Sanson and built between 1907 to 1909, the house takes the form of a free-standing pavilion in the French Style. The trapezoidal plot is named for Perry Belmont, who served as a United States Congressman from New York and later as ambassador to Spain. The venue provided the perfect backdrop for a lavish affair adorned with decorative opulence, featuring rich gold, cream, berry tones, and evergreen elements. Mesmerizing floral details brought an extra touch of magic to Natacha and Chris’ unforgettable day.

Exquisite Floral Entrance

If it’s one thing we love, it’s a staircase entrance. Guests were welcomed to the reception with a warm and enchanting atmosphere at the entrance. Two gold etagere greeted guests in the front foyer, each laden with flutes of champagne. A lush design of smilax and lanterns accented the staircase, an apt prelude to the stunning floral display that awaited them inside.

A Luxurious Haven

The venue was transformed into a luxurious lounge. A gold bar cart, attended by a knowledgeable bartender, offered whiskey and bourbon tastings. The vintage typewriter in this room served as an interactive guest book, allowing guests to leave heartfelt notes for the couple.

A Feast for the Senses

Scattered throughout the dining rooms, a mixture of seating tables created an intimate and visually stunning dining experience. Tall cocktail tables were cinched with corded tassel ties in berry or golden tones, paying homage to the opulence of the venue. Low round tables featured chiavari chairs and textured linens, setting the stage for an elegant meal. Half of the tables were adorned with fairie light centerpieces in golden geometric terrarium. The remaining tables showcased gold compote arrangements filled with lush mix of blooms in rich berry tones, including dahlia, roses, spray roses, stock, and scabiosa, elegantly finished with seasonal foliage. These arrangements created a captivating and enchanting ambiance that will be remembered by guests for years to come. The floral arrangements stole the show, adding a touch of grandeur and beauty to every corner of the wedding.

Natacha and Chris’ Perry Belmont House wedding was a captivating display of opulence and floral beauty. The venue’s rich history and grandeur provided the perfect backdrop for their lavish celebration. The meticulous attention to detail, from the stunning entrance to the enchanting floral arrangements, created a truly magical atmosphere. We wish Natasha and Chris a lifetime of happiness, rivaled only by the beauty of their wedding day.

Theres something about September that always feels like a turning point. The days are still warm, but the morning is a bit cooler. School is back in session. The light starts to change. And after a long DC summer, you do all get that first day when you can open the door and think, yes, fall really is coming. 🍁 

For me fall has always been tied to the rhythm of the school year. Kids going back to school and calendars filling up. Pulling sweaters out of the back of the closet, and thinking about Halloween before you’re quite ready to admit summer is over. 

In the studio, autumn has another rhythm. September and October weddings - arguably our busiest time of the year - paired with all sorts of fun things. Pods, berries, grasses and all sorts of funky things. 

I think there’s a reason fall weddings always feel so right. It’s a season built around change. The landscape shifts, the light softens, the year begins winding down… and in the midst of that, two people choose to begin something. 

Maybe that’s what I love about this time of year. Autumn can feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. So here’s to another fall wedding season, changing leaves, cooler nights (no mosquitoes), celebrations and all the new beginnings still ahead.
Classic roses. Ethereal baby’s breath. And bleached ruscus for some fashion forward style. Classic with an edge.
Come in. We’ve been expecting you. 🖤
