Pride Month Inspiration

Pride Month Inspiration
Wedding ceremony at Hummingbird Restaurant in Alexandria, vA

First and foremost, weddings are occasions to celebrate the love that two people have for each other and the commitment they want to make, notably in front of their nearest and dearest. The décor and details are wonderful accents meant to represent the personality and tastes of the marrying pair. We love nuptials of all shapes, sizes, and varieties – and this goes for couples themselves as well. In honor of June being National Pride Month, we wanted to share some same sex wedding inspiration. Each wedding is a unique as the couples themselves. From intimate events to grand parties, these same sex couples each designed elements that reflected their personalities. Enjoy the three events below!

Forest-Inspired Wedding

A soothing palette of greens served as the grounding backdrop of Mitch and Patrick’s nuptials. Woodend provided an apt setting for their forest-inspired wedding, which embraced the best of autumn with rich reds, yellows and oranges with maidenhair fern.

Romantic Blush and Burgundy at Hummingbird

On a bright February day, Taylor and Melia recited their vows at an intimate wedding at Hummingbird Restaurant in Old Town Alexandria. Their floral palette feature a romantic mix of feather light pink and burgundy astilbe, blush roses, white stock, and burgundy ranunculus finished with soft touches of eucalyptus foliage. An elegant napkin detail of ruscus foliage finished the each place setting at the reception.

Modern Blue at Westin Georgetown

We love a wedding with modern sensibilities and clean lines, and Aaron and JaRel’s wedding at the Westin Georgetown was just that. From the stylish attire to the modern blue wedding reception, the wedding radiated a masculine glamour.

Maybe green really is having its moment. Between the Yellow Brick Road yellows, the poppy-red anemones, and a reception drenched in layered greens, this Oz-inspired spring event felt like a preview of the color conversations designers are having now.

From emerald to chartreuse to the softest sage, green can be grounding, glamorous, or a little bit wild — sometimes all at once. And with the Wicked sequel stirring up the color world again, we’re curious…

Which shade is your leading character this season?

Let me go on record saying: when it comes to candles, especially in winter, more is more. 😉

Alexa, please play Christmas music.

Too early? I confess. I’m a Thanksgiving purist. It’s literally my favorite holiday. But as a floral designer, I’m often living a season ahead. Thinking of spring when it’s winter, or fall in the heat of summer. And yes, plotting winter holiday decor when it’s Halloween (if not the 4th of July!)

But something about the quiet in the air today and news of snow in places nearby is all it took to awaken my holiday spirit and launch holiday planning mode! If it takes you more to get you in the mood, maybe Sonja & Mike’s Christmas wedding from a few years ago will do the trick!
