Romantic Capitol View at 400 Wedding

Twinkle lights cast a magical glow for Capitol View at 400 wedding

Texture and romantic burgundy tones abound in Rachel and Andrew’s romantic Capitol View at 400 wedding! We are excited to share the classic rooftop affair at this timeless Washington, DC wedding venue.

Rachel and Andrew were married in front of close friends and family on a beautiful fall day. Rachel and her bridesmaids both carried richly textured bouquets featuring the best of fall – dahlias, roses, garden roses, astilbe, and astrantia in burgundies and whites finished with eucalyptus foliages. Classic rose boutonnieres graced the men’s lapels.

Strands of eucalyptus accented the welcome mirror that greeted guests as they arrived, and put a finishing touch to candles along the walkway. Flanked by two stunning and organic designs atop pedestals, and bridesmaids in rich burgundy gowns the pair exchanged vows in front of close friends and family. The two lush designs featured a rich array of lemon leaf, eucalyptus, rustics, camellia and myrtle foliages.

We love the metallic accents that accompanied the elegant decor of the romantic Capitol View at 400 wedding reception. Gold cylinder vases were filled with hydrangea and roses in white with rich burgundy coming through in roses, dahlias, safari sunset and astilbe. Burgundy taper candles set in gold candlesticks and accompanied by glass enclosed pillar candles and ringed by eucalyptus foliage were on the remaining tables.

It was a pleasure bringing Rachel and Andrew’s fall wedding vision to life!

When the bride wears black, everything else falls into place. At Lauren & Alan’s Hotel Monaco wedding, the candlelight flickered against layers of greenery, lanterns, and shadow. The palette whispered more than it spoke. White flowers wouldn’t have belonged here; this was a story told in texture, depth, and restraint.

There’s power in contrast: light against dark, softness against structure, the unexpected choice that somehow feels inevitable once you see it. The design was less about decoration and more about atmosphere. Mysterious, elegant, and entirely unforgettable.

Florals in full dramatic mode for The Scout Guide Alexandria launch party at the Hotel Heron. A trunk bursting with roses, a plum-and-black arch layered in texture and light. Modern romance with an editorial edge. The evening’s palette played with tension: shadow against shine, petals against metal.

We love when flowers step outside the ballroom and into the spotlight, blurring the line between installation and arrangement. These designs were made to stop traffic, literally and figuratively.

It’s Halloween! The season for dress-up and a little role reversal. So, in a playful twist, we’re dressing up! What if clients questioned their photographer like they do their florist? Scary, isn’t it? 😂 👻
