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.

December has been a whirlwind. Weddings. Holiday parties. Installing holiday décor around town. The kind of month where the days blur and the studio never quite sleeps.

But one of the most meaningful moments has come through our involvement with Wish Upon a Wedding, an organization that grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing serious illness or life-altering circumstances.

At the Citizen Ballroom, we helped bring Tiffianni & Minerva’s vow renewal to life. Their vision was unapologetically floral. A sweeping staircase installation layered in greenery. Flowers in saturated shades of fuchsia and purple. A lush deconstructed floral arch that framed their vows and later their sweetheart table. Tables glowed with flowers, candles, and lamps. The temperature may have been in the teens outside but inside was only warmth and light rooted in love.

We began this year donating flowers to laid-off federal employees and end it celebrating Tiffianni & Minerva. Because this year hasn’t just been about decorating spaces. It’s about lifting spirits with flowers and helping to mark moments in meaningful ways.
