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.

Beautiful spaces exist everywhere. You can book a great restaurant or walk into a well-designed hotel any day of the week. But what is it about weddings that feel so extraordinary? Yes, love is the obvious answer. Of course. But truly, when else in your life do you find yourself surrounded by flowers?!?! A wedding is one of those few moments we decide that a single day is worthy of transformation. To fill the room with a most fleeting and precious medium - flowers - knowing they’re here just long enough to make the moment unforgettable.

In discussing final changes, one of our couples had a note of hesitation in her voice, worried her palette might set a different mood than intended. Not seasonal enough? Too austere?

But here’s the thing: mood can be a matter of perspective. Which brings us to this wedding: once upon a time, orange was typecast as a strictly fall color. But flowers don’t follow rules. They bloom wildly, confidently, year-round! There are orange flowers in every season and in recent years, we’ve seen orange blooms show up to spring weddings, as warm oranges at summer soirées, and of course they’re still the favored guest at autumn affairs. Each time, the hue brings something fresh. Joy. Energy. That just-right edge.

Your color story should feel like you. In fact, for Olivia & David’s wedding, our bride’s mother shared that the color palette had been the one in her daughter’s childhood bedroom. A vibrant floral story that she had been living with all along. That’s what flowers can do. Pull memories forward, stitch generations together and turn a wedding into something deeply personal. And if it happens to challenge a few outdated ideas? Even better. 😉
