Romantic Lorien Hotel Wedding

Romantic Lorien Hotel Wedding

Elizabeth and Anthony held their romantic Lorien Hotel wedding this past May at our favorite a small boutique hotel in Old Town Alexandria. Using soft ivories, peaches and light pinks, the flowers expressed a romantic and natural elegance, replete with loose wisps of jasmine vine for that wild garden touch.

Elizabeth’s bouquet featured some of the best flowers of spring – white peonies, lilac and ranunculus – accented with white lisianthus and light pink ‘Sweet Eskimo’ roses finished with green jasmine vine. The bridesmaids’ bouquets featured similar textures, with more emphasis on color brought in through peach ‘Juliet’ garden roses and stock, light pink lisianthus and sweet pea, and ivory spray roses.  Jasmine vine lent a garden appeal to the design.

 

Blessed with perhaps one of the most perfect clear skies, the romantic Lorien Hotel wedding ceremony took place on the rooftop Presidential Terrace. A square arch covered with semi-sheer panels that were draped to create an elegant backdrop, the panels cinched and bloused at the mid points. Two lush poses added color and romantic texture to the corners.  Posies of roses, spray roses, and stock graced the aisle, finished with a navy satin ribbon.

 

Bird cages – a quirky nod to the love bird theme of the reception – were filled with flowers in whites, peaches, and light pinks to create an English garden feel. A mix of textures were created using classic garden flowers such as hydrangea, stock, roses, ranunculus, astilbe, lisianthus and veronica finished with variegated ivy. Enhancing the vintage appeal of the romantic Lorien Hotel wedding, cut glass bud vases with loose stems completed the designs.

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨ 

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea! 

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨ 

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level 

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance
