Torpedo Factory Wedding

Torpedo Factory Wedding

On a beautiful June day, Sally and Kevin were married at one of Old Town Alexandria’s best known wedding venues – the Torpedo Factory. The former factory’s industrial feel was softened through the use of soft blush, ivory, pale green and gold tones. It was the most perfect romantic Torpedo Factory wedding scheme. And you don’t have to ask us twice to work in our own neighborhood!

Sally’s classic spring bouquet featured the most stunning white peonies, Cafe au Lait dahlia, ivory garden and spray roses, pale pink Sweet Eskimo roses, and white stock finished with eucalyptus and ruscus foliage. Her maid of honor’s bouquet matched in similar shades and tones, while the boutonnieres were classic and elegant with a light pink rose.

The Torpedo Factory is a nontraditional, eclectic venue, but a more traditional floral design still looks amazing in the space! These elevated, rounded arrangements of dahlia, hydrangea, and roses were used in the ceremony decor, creating not only a dramatic backdrop but also a stately entrance to the aisle for the romantic Torpedo Factory wedding. They were also used later at the reception.

The long reception space took a dramatic turn, with alternating low and tall floral arrangements. With blush, ivory and soft green blooms nested in gold footed bowls, the romantic Torpedo Factory wedding took a dramatic turn as elevated designs of hydrangea, Cafe au Lait dahlia, and roses drew the eye up.

It’s never just an arch.

For Kelly & Ross’ ceremony, we started with River Bend Club’s classic symmetry and used it to guide every design decision, from the shape of the arch to how the flowers were layered for movement and softness. Greenery grounded the structure, and white blooms floated above like clouds.  Every choice is about visual flow, guest experience, and the couple at the center of it all (including their dog, who clearly understood the assignment 🐾).

A Study in Simplicity.

White roses. Baby’s breath. Taper candles. Bud vases. That’s it! Except it’s everything. For this modern black-and-white wedding at the Hotel Monaco, the impact wasn’t in the quantity. It was in the intention. Every floral element was thoughtfully placed to enhance the space, not overwhelm it.

We’re big believers in letting design whisper, not shout, and this one spoke volumes.
