Romantic Tudor Place Wedding

Romantic Tudor Place Wedding

Tudor Place wedding ceremony in the rain

While easily the most popular month for weddings in the DC area, October can still be a little unpredictable. It can be picture perfect, hot as blazes, cool and breezy, or sunny with intermittent threats of rain. When we work with couples on plans for outdoor ceremonies, we often talk about rain plans. But rain was not about to stop this incredibly romantic Tudor Place wedding ceremony! With urns filled with lush blooms, a stunning bouquet and a floral palette that makes us swoon, it’s easy to see why nothing like a little rain would stop Tamari and Zach’s nuptials.

The vision for Tamari and Zach’s romantic Tudor Place wedding ceremony revolved around a beautiful palette that balanced dark and light, bold blooms and delicate textures, and lots of loose greens. Tamari’s gorgeous bouquet featured the most stunning Cafe au Lait and orange dahlia paired with Juliet garden roses, Leonidas roses, orange spray roses, peach ranunculus and peach stock finished with wispy touches of Queen Anne’s lace, fern, and eucalyptus. Zach’s matching boutonniere featured a deep orange rose from Tamari’s bouquet.

Flanking the ceremony for the romantic, Tudor Place wedding were two oversized urns, each filled with lush designs of white hydrangea, orange Asiatic lilies, peach stock, orange roses and spray roses, white lisianthus and orange snapdragons. As luck would have it, the sky cleared following the “I Do’s”, giving Tamari and Zach to take portraits around Tudor Place’s beautiful grounds.

Following the ceremony, guests proceeded to the Tabard Inn for an intimate brunch reception. Tables were centered with gold cylinder vases filled with richly textured designs, including coxcomb, Cafe au Lait dahlia, roses, hydrangea and stock, with wisps of fern and eucalyptus for continuity. A matching design was centered on the fireplace mantel.

It was such a pleasure to work with Tamari and Zach, and we wish you many years of marital bliss!

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.
