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.

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.
