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.

There’s something about citrus in the summertime that feels instantly joyful. 🍊 🍋

Paired with blue and white chinoiserie, blooms in warm sunset hues of peach, coral and orange, this tablescape is a reminder that the most memorable celebrations are full of color, texture, and unexpected details.

Would you embrace a citrus-inspired wedding or event?

Industrial architecture and romantic flowers will forever be one of our favorite combinations.⁣
⁣
For Sarah & Erkan`s wedding at Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, we paired lush garden textures in muted pastel hues to soften up the brick and steel interiors throughout the reception space. The result felt intimate and quietly luxurious in all the right ways.⁣
⁣
This venue is such a dream for couples who want something moodier and more architectural than a traditional ballroom wedding.⁣

Natural. Timeless. Elegant. Soft. Romantic.⁣

When Annemarie described her vision, we knew exactly the world we wanted to build around her. This September, she and Cooper were wed at the stunning Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House in Alexandria, surrounded by lush greens, white blossoms, and the warmth of copper and gold woven throughout every detail.⁣
From her abundant dahlia and rose bouquet to the organic arch installations and candlelit reception tent, every element told one continuous, intentional story.⁣

Designing flowers for St. Francis Hall always begins with scale. The ceilings are high, the stone walls are bold, and delicate arrangements can quickly disappear if they are not designed with the room in mind.⁣
⁣
For Monica & Dave’s wedding, we leaned into that height with tall arrangements that lifted the eye upward while still keeping the tables welcoming for guests. Soft white and green flowers created a romantic feeling against the historic architecture, while the elevated designs helped the entire room feel balanced. When the proportions are right, the flowers do not fight the space. They belong in it.⁣
