Rooftop Garden Wedding at Capitol View at 400

Rooftop Garden Wedding at Capitol View at 400

One of our favorite venues was transformed this past fall into a romantic floral garden. Ruth and Nick’s rooftop garden wedding at Capitol View at 400 was something only dreams are made of. From the first meeting with Ruth and Nick, it was obvious flowers were important to them, and they wanted their reception to feel lush and inviting with a tailored, garden feel.

To start, we needed to create the perfect palette for Ruth and Nick’s wedding. Initially, the wedding was planned for fall of 2020, then spring of 2021, and finally we came full circle to fall of 2021. Looks like fall wedding was in the stars from the start! The floral palette was composed of classics like garden roses, roses, hydrangea, ranunculus, lisianthus, stock and more. The colors ranged from the whitest white to a subtle blush that was timeless and romantic. The rooftop tent featured the most thoughtful details, like an elegant bar arrangement, clutches of flowers on the perimeter of the tent, a lush sweetheart table design, candles everywhere, and a lush design for the band front.

The real showstopper though was the ceremony. From the picturesque descent down the stairs to the gardenesque floral arch, there wasn’t a moment you could not say “wow!”. The floral arch was filled with white roses, spray roses, stock, lisianthus and salal greenery. It was the perfect tailored choice for the rooftop garden wedding.

It was an absolute pleasure producing this beautiful celebration for Ruth and Nick. It was well worth the wait, and we wish them the best in their life together!

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
