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.

A ceremony space that proves minimal can still be magical. 🌿✨

Amanda & Matthew exchanged vows beneath a ceiling accented with smilax and twinkle lights, and a backdrop of Italian ruscus. Two wine barrels grounded the scene, each topped with loose, organic arrangements in soft winter whites and lush greens—perfectly at home in this modern winery space.

Simple. Airy. Effortlessly romantic. Just how we like it.

Who’s ready to party? 🪩 ⁣

For Kim & Andrew’s wedding at the Hotel Monaco, we transformed the band backdrop into a statement moment - because if it’s going to end up in half your reception photos, it might as well steal the show! Cascading clouds of gypsophila and sparkling disco balls made sure the party looked as good as it felt.⁣

A little disco, a little drama, and a whole lot of fun. ✨ The band backdrop ends up in so many of your wedding reception photos, why not make a statement with it?⁣

When the setting is this charming and the florals this lush, magic is bound to happen. ✨

Rachael & Scott tied the knot at the historic Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House, where the garden-style ceremony was filled with elegance, emotion, and a gentle breeze of fall romance.

Their floral story? Creamy Café au Lait dahlias, textural greens, and dramatic touches of burgundy brought a wild-yet-refined feel to the day. From loose bouquets scented with eucalyptus to floral-filled urns and centerpieces that felt freshly gathered from an autumn garden, every detail whispered elegance.

This is fall wedding season in full bloom, and we loved every petal of it!

When the ceiling says no, we say get creative. 💡⁣

For Alex & Ryan’s wedding at the Westin Georgetown, we designed a custom elevated floral moment to frame their head table, creating a picture window of blooms that felt romantic, architectural, and completely unexpected. Proof that with the right design approach, even logistical limits can lead to showstopping results.⁣

It’s not just flowers. It’s scene setting.

For this installation at St. Francis Hl, the black lacquer of a grand piano met its match: a sculptural floral arrangement in moody burgundy, plum, and blush tones, punctuated by the texture of quince branches and dozens of candle flames casting a golden glow. We wanted the design to feel rich, romantic, and composed… like the prelude to a love story.

Because your wedding should feel like a movie, and every detail should help set the tone.

A view from above, and a wedding worth the climb.⁣

Alex & John’s timeless celebration at the Larz Anderson House was the definition of classic romance. White blooms layered with texture and grace, perfectly suited to the gilded elegance of this historic DC venue. Proof that a white palette never goes out of season.⁣
