Romantic Airlie Center Wedding

Romantic Airlie Center Wedding

Hold on to your every princess wedding dream. Boy, do we have a romantic wedding to share! Starting with a pale pink wedding gown, Jaclynn and Brian’s romantic Airlie Center wedding was full of fairytale details from start to finish. Located 50 miles outside of Washington, DC in the Virginia countryside, Airlie Center easily transports guests to a place filled with romance, history and charm.

Wearing a classic black tuxedo with bow tie, the groom’s attire was complemented by an elegant white rose boutonniere. Jaclynn dreamed of carrying an elegant cascade bouquet, which we designed for her using white peonies, mini-calla lilies, orchids, and roses paired with rich green ruscus foliages. Bridesmaids clothed in blush sequined gowns held foliage-forward posies accented with white garden roses. The details were out of a fairytale for this romantic Airlie Center wedding.

The bride’s vision for the wedding was something romantic, whimsical, and textured. Even though, the ceremony had to move indoors due to rain, we still accomplished just that with a stunning array of pink and white flowers, an elegant backdrop where the botanicals vined across the surface, and an aisle perfectly lined with pink roses. The backdrop created a romantic spot to exchange their vows. To honor her grandmother, a memorial was created on her seat of honor, incorporating lilac which was her favorite flower. Smilax graced the welcome sign at the entrance, lending a magical, fairytale feel to the romantic Airlie Center wedding nuptials.

The magical aesthetic continued right into the reception in the Pavillion, augmented with a touch of evening glam. Starting with a rose gold sequined linen on the sweetheart table, the table of honor was finished with a long and low design of roses, peonies, and stock in shades of white and blush. Guests found their place at either rectangle tables with rose gold sequined tabletops or elegant rounds dressed in classic cream linens. Each tablescape was exquisitely set with chargers, candles, and even touch of green for a napkin detail. Lush displays of white and blush hydrangea, stock, roses and ruscus filled gold mercury bowls for half the tables. Greenery garlands were tucked with wedding blooms and finished with glass-enclosed pillar candles were exquisitely set on the remaining long tables.

We’re not blushing. You’re blushing, for this romantic Airlie Center wedding!

Blooming branches – that harbinger of new beginnings, a flower whose very appearance serves as the epitaph to winter. But that sweet symbolism isn’t the only reason we love them! 

Very few botanical elements feature both soft edges AND the jutting architecture of flowering branches. As floral designers, we adore the juxtaposition of soft, demure pastels with their sheer height and commanding presence. There’s just something about that that just screams wedding, don’t you think? 

So don’t be afraid to branch out and get creative. Blooming branches look spectacular in weddings – in everything from ceremony arches to reception decor – and create a big impactful look.

It’s been a very long time since floral centerpieces were just flowers in a vase. Today’s centerpieces have multiple elements, loads of candles, things that have to be assembled and even built on-site. And yet the presumption persists that the florist is just going to show up with a box that can be left in the corner for someone else to place on the table. 

Putting aside the fact that we take far more pride in our work than that… to say that we value logistics and planning is an understatement!! And logistics are truly our skill set. We can tell you how many man hours a particular installation will take and can design for efficiency. It’s truly our super power.

Most floral design relies on other things being in place. Not useful? “You can get into the room at this time.” Actually useful? “The bar you’re building that cascading piece on will in place no later than X o’clock.” But more than that? Start realizing that event demands are not what they used to be.

I love eavesdropping. 😜

While setting up for the new Georgetown Citibank, we overheard someone say, “This is the moment.” ❤️

And I couldn’t have said it better myself. Because when flowers are doing their job, they don’t just fill a space. They create a moment you can feel.
