Rustic Wedding at Lincoln’s Cottage

Leah and Josh’s rustic wedding at Lincoln’s Cottage in Washington, DC blended romance with rustic whimsy. The historic site and museum is situated on a 250-acre campus where President Lincoln made some of his most nation-changing decisions and developed the Emancipation Proclamation. Isn’t it amazing that we can have places like this right here in DC AND make use of it to create our own personal histories? We were very excited to design a wedding here. With an unusual fall color palette and several whimsical decor elements, Leah and Josh’s wedding was a perfect for Petal’s Edge to create at this stunning venue.

Leah & Josh’s Wedding

The personal flowers were designed in a soft, muted palette of lavenders and whites with accents of deep plum and sage green. Among the featured blooms were lavender Cool Water and Early Gray roses, lavender spray roses, mauve astrantia, white astilbe, purple-throated Picasso mini-calla lilies, Queen Anne’s lace, and unexpected touches of bleached ruscus accented with seeded eucalyptus foliage. The woman attendants on both sides of the wedding party carried beautiful bouquets of Creme de la Creme and ivory Vendela roses, ivory spray roses, white astilbe, Queen Anne’s lace and accents of pale lavender Early Gray roses, purple lisianthus, and mauve astrantia finished with touches of seeded eucalyptus and bleached ruscus foliage. Each bouquet was hand-tied with either navy blue or charcoal ribbon, a smart and tailored contrast to the softness of the flowers. Josh’s boutonnière was designed to center on a single, perfect white rose accented with white astilbe and seeded eucalyptus, while the other gentlemen wore boutonnières of purple lisianthus.

Jewish Ceremony for Rustic Wedding at Lincoln’s Cottage

The ceremony for this rustic wedding at Lincoln’s Cottage showcased a beautiful birch chuppah covered with an organic design of baby’s breath climbing up the front poles and across the front valance. The design was further accented with bleached ruscus and sparing touches of seeded eucalyptus, clusters of bleached bell cups, and lavender roses, purple lisianthus, purple astrantia, and plum-colored smokebush foliage for added color and texture. The chairs lining either side of the aisle, finished with petite bouquets of white and mauve astilbe with seeded eucalyptus foliage. Greeting guests at the entrance to the aisle were two sets of lanterns filled with baby’s breath and fairy lights.

Tent Reception

For this rustic wedding at Lincoln’s Cottage, the reception took place outdoors in a tent. Each table displayed a rustic birch bark pot. The container was filled with a lush, textured design of purple hydrangea, purple stock, roses in varying shades of lavender, purple lisianthus, white astilbe, mauve astrantia, Queen Anne’s lace, and accents of plum smokebush, sage seeded eucalyptus and bleached ruscus foliage. A petite version graced the couple’s sweetheart table

Congratsulations to Leah and Josh – your sweet, romantic wedding was a pleasure to be part of, and we wish you all the best!

Did you know that baby’s breath can be a showstopper all on its own? 🌟 

At Meaghan & David’s Willard Hotel wedding, we used this delicate bloom to create everything from airy, elevated centerpieces to rings of the tiny flowers to circle candles and lush runners on the head table. The result? A look that’s both ethereal and elegant, proving that baby’s breath can be more than just a filler flower. It’s a versatile, often budget-friendly option that brings a soft, romantic vibe to any wedding. Who’s ready to fall in love with this understated beauty? 😍

Moody palettes don’t have to wait for October. For Alexandra & Sam’s spring wedding at St. Francis Hall, we built the design on deep burgundy roses, moody mauves and deep plum fritillaria, the last a flower uniquely available in early spring. To keep the look from tipping too dark, we layered in Sahara Sensation spray roses, peach stock, and quince branches for lightness and movement. Loose and airy aisle pieces added whimsy, while a deconstructed arch and gold-rimmed candles brought romance. The result was dramatic without ever feeling heavy. Romantic, fresh, and unmistakably spring.
