Romantic Cosmos Club Wedding

Romantic Cosmos Club Wedding
Cosmos Club wedding reception

You might drive by the wrought iron gated property on Massachusetts Avenue, enclosing an equally grand building and wonder what is behind the impressive facade. It’s the Cosmos Club, a private social club housed in the former Townsend House on Embassy Row, one of the great turn-of-the century residences that gave Massachusetts Avenue its grandeur. Lana and Pablo said “I do” at the Cosmos Club. The venue’s debonair ambiance was perfect for a fall wedding. The Warne Ballroom, site of their ceremony and reception, is unique in Washington, DC as one of the city’s finest Gilded Age salons. Featuring 6,000 linear feet of gold, the opulent ballroom’s design draws inspiration from mid-18th century French architecture, including authentic architectural salvage from chateaux and 18th century townhouses.

And while the Cosmos Club is a lovely place to wed, it did not hurt that we had a GORGEOUS floral palette to work with for this romantic Cosmos Club wedding! We used a lush mix of dahlias, roses, astilbe, hydrangea, lisianthus and more in shades of mauve, pink and white. Lana’s fall wedding vision was truly brought to life with the elegant and soft greens of eucalyptus, acacia and olive leaf.

For the ceremony, we designed a unique arch full of modern, architectural lines. The custom built structure came to life with each bloom that was added, creating a lush and inspired backdrop for the ceremony.

Our favorite moment of the reception was the head table. Multiple glass compotes and petite containers were placed along a long table. We could talk all day about this romantic Cosmos Club wedding.

Minimal never means boring. At the National Museum of Women in the Arts, we designed with intention: bud vases filled with single white roses paired with black taper candles and glowing votives. The look was crisp, modern, and architectural, yet still romantic when lit. ✨ We love how repeating the smallest details across an entire room creates atmosphere and drama — proof that simplicity, when done with care, can be just as striking as the grandest installation. 🖤 🤍

Our story is rooted in horticulture, art, and a genuine love of design. Over the years, the scale of our weddings has grown, but our philosophy remains the same: florals should create mood, evoke emotion, and transform a space into something unforgettable. 🌸

That devotion carries through every detail, from climbing ladders to lighting candles to suspending blooms overhead. For Emily and Will’s wedding at Potomac View Terrace, that meant classic pink and white garden flowers, golden terrariums glowing with candlelight, and a canopy of suspended blooms with glass globes above the head table. Romantic, timeless, and a reflection of why we do what we do. ✨

As we begin a new season, we cannot wait to bring more love stories to life. If you are planning your wedding, now is the time to start dreaming with us. 💐
