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!

Theres something about September that always feels like a turning point. The days are still warm, but the morning is a bit cooler. School is back in session. The light starts to change. And after a long DC summer, you do all get that first day when you can open the door and think, yes, fall really is coming. 🍁 

For me fall has always been tied to the rhythm of the school year. Kids going back to school and calendars filling up. Pulling sweaters out of the back of the closet, and thinking about Halloween before you’re quite ready to admit summer is over. 

In the studio, autumn has another rhythm. September and October weddings - arguably our busiest time of the year - paired with all sorts of fun things. Pods, berries, grasses and all sorts of funky things. 

I think there’s a reason fall weddings always feel so right. It’s a season built around change. The landscape shifts, the light softens, the year begins winding down… and in the midst of that, two people choose to begin something. 

Maybe that’s what I love about this time of year. Autumn can feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. So here’s to another fall wedding season, changing leaves, cooler nights (no mosquitoes), celebrations and all the new beginnings still ahead.
Classic roses. Ethereal baby’s breath. And bleached ruscus for some fashion forward style. Classic with an edge.
