Summer Wildflower River Farm Wedding

Photo by Jodi & Kurt Photography

Alexandra and Brian married on a beautiful June day at River Farm. The summer wildflower River Farm wedding was truly intimate and filled with personal touches. It was especially wonderful for us to provide day of event management in addition to the flowers as the bride’s father is our landlord Charley Varipapa’s brother! The vision for the wedding was understated with a palette of pastel wildflowers. Alexandra’s bouquet featured a mix of light pink stock and astilbe, light blue delphinium, craspedia, solidago, purple lisianthus and touches of lavender and mint. A circlet of light pink wax flower was fashioned for Alexandra’s hair. Brian wore a boutonniere of light blue delphinium and light pink astilbe. The wedding party was similarly intimate, kept to family cousins and Alexandra and Brian’s daughter, who wore a matching crown of light pink wax flower. The three flower girls wore crowns of light blue delphinium, white lisianthus, light pink astilbe, and accents of lavender.

The ceremony took place in front of the large tree at River Farm. A stunning arch served as the focal point for the ceremony, designed using curly willow branches and salal, delphinium, stock, lisianthus, solidago, astilbe, spray roses, and Queen Anne’s lace in shades of pale pink, light blue, cream, purple and white. The ceremony was officiated by a family friend from their years at Episcopal High School.

For the reception, two long tables featured an eclectic mix of milk glass, depression glass and blue mason jars filled with a palette of pastel wildflowers. Individually inscribed place cards directed people to their seats.

An elegant tented reception at Dumbarton House? Say no more. For Meghan & Pierce’s celebration, we designed soft, romantic centerpieces that flowed effortlessly down the head table and added movement to the round guest tables. A mix of textured greenery brought that lush, organic touch we love—proof that timeless and fresh can go hand in hand. Tented weddings are stunning in any season… especially when the florals do the heavy lifting.⁣

Airy. Intentional. Unexpected.
Bouquets like this don’t just come together. They’re built with a designer’s eye and an engineer’s precision. Structured, sculptural, and perfectly imperfect.

The wired bouquet is having a moment, and we’re all in. Staying at the forefront of floral design means constantly evolving our techniques. Craftsmanship, mechanics, and keeping our skills as fresh as our stems! Modern bridal design? You’re looking at it.

Hair? Done. Makeup? Glowing. Bouquet?

A dream in toffee and white. And when the champagne tower hits just right? That’s the Petal’s Edge touch. 🍾💐

From behind-the-scenes to final frame, this shoot was full of joy, movement, and flower-filled magic. Because designing moments that feel as good as they look? That’s kind of our thing.

We’re never one to shy away from a floral moment, and at a venue like Congressional Country Club, the stakes (and the ceilings) are high. For Rebecca & Richard`s celebration, we played up the grandeur of the space with towering centerpieces and sprawling greenery that brought movement and life to each table. A timeless green-and-white palette with layers of texture gave this classic ballroom a fresh, organic twist. ⁣

Sun-drenched florals, bold texture, and one unforgettable chuppah moment.

For Aliza & Alex’s summer celebration at Oxon Hill Manor, we went full color-forward. Coral peonies were the undeniable star. Paired with wildflower-inspired details like daisies, snapdragons, freesia, and even herbs, the floral design struck that perfect balance between luxe and lighthearted.

From the birch pole chuppah trailing with blooms to vibrant, garden-style centerpieces, this tented affair radiated joyful energy - proof that color can absolutely be elevated!

Towering magnolia branches brought winter warmth and botanical drama to Aurora & Anil’s wedding at the Park Hyatt. With sculptural centerpieces and lush magnolia runners lining the long tables, this celebration proved that winter weddings can be rich in texture and full of life, no evergreen or holly required! ✨ ⁣
