Romantic River Farm Wedding

To say Aliya and Reuben were an easy going couple would be an understatement! With only three weeks before the big day, we talked flowers, discussed a design, and a mere six days later, the scheme for the flowers for their romantic River Farm wedding were designed and finalized! While Covid has posed many challenges for our couples, it didn’t keep this wedding from being anything short of magical.

Classic Palette with Blush

Aliya favored a classic palette of whites and greens with warm touches of blush, and loose textures for the bouquet. Her bouquet featured blush garden roses, blush and white roses, white ranunculus and white lisianthus accented with Italian ruscus and eucalyptus foliages.

Romantic Outdoor Ceremony

With River Farm’s lush summer garden surrounding the ceremony, we designed a floral arch full smilax and gorgeous white and blush blooms that completely looked like it belonged in the garden. It was the perfect spot against which to say “I Do.” The arch featured white and blush roses, ivory spray roses, white stock, and white lisianthus – and a few wild touches of autumn clematis vine.

Intimate Tent Reception

The reception in River Farm’s tent felt like a magical dream. Flanked by large plantings of elephant ear and other foliage, small elements such a cocktail table arrangements and floral decor for the cake meant that no detail big or small was overlooked.

Oh how we love a room shot…

Don’t get us wrong! Give us all the delicious little flower close-ups. We want to see every ruffly petal and perfect place setting.

But then BACK UP!

Because this is the moment we’ve been thinking about all along. How do those centerpieces fill the room? Where does your eye go first? Do the tall pieces actually feel tall beneath a 20-foot ceiling?

Does the whole thing have rhythm?

Seeing all of those individual pieces finally come together into one beautiful room never, ever gets old.

Twenty-plus years in and we still get a little giddy about it.

Some venues need flowers that make a statement. Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is all about atmosphere.⁣
⁣
The exposed brick, warm lighting, and intimate scale already bring so much character to the space, so we leaned into layered candlelight, soft movement, and garden inspired flowers that felt romantic without overpowering the architecture.⁣

One of our favorite DC venues for couples who want their wedding to feel elegant, warm, and completely immersive.⁣
