Courtney and William’s rustic wedding at River View at Occoquan was an absolute delight to be a part of. Every detail, from the beautiful tones of burgundy and blush to the charming rustic accents, came together seamlessly. We couldn’t have been happier working with such a stunning fall palette.

For Courtney’s elegant bridal bouquet, we carefully selected a blend of Cafe au Lait dahlias, burgundy dahlias, Quicksand roses, ivory spray roses, burgundy and white scabiosa, and burgundy astilbe. To add a touch of greenery, we incorporated succulents, and for the finishing touches, we added dusty miller and seeded eucalyptus foliage. The bouquet was a breathtaking reflection of Courtney’s sophisticated style.

The bridesmaids’ bouquets were equally enchanting, designed to complement the bridal bouquet. Each lush, French hand-tied bouquet showcased roses, spray roses, dahlias, and scabiosa in neutral hues, accented with dusty miller and seeded eucalyptus foliage. The result was a cohesive and captivating floral arrangement that perfectly matched the rustic charm of the wedding.

William’s boutonnière featured a burgundy spray rose, complemented by burgundy astilbe and seeded eucalyptus. The remaining boutonnières were created with ivory spray roses and seeded eucalyptus, adding a touch of elegance to the groom and groomsmen’s attire.

The ceremony took center stage with a striking focal point—an arch adorned with an elegant garland of seeded eucalyptus, draped across the top and trailing down the sides. The garland featured a stunning array of burgundy and Cafe au Lait dahlias, ivory spray roses, and Black Magic and Quicksand roses. The rustic beauty of the garland perfectly framed the couple as they exchanged their vows.

At the reception, gold, geometric terrariums graced the center of half the guest tables. These enchanting terrariums contained a bed of moss, from which bloomed a natural and organic design of burgundy scabiosa, ivory spray roses, dusty miller, and seeded eucalyptus. Delicate touches of jasmine vine and seeded eucalyptus added a whimsical touch. The remaining guest tables were adorned with classic, gold-trimmed vases, each holding a bridesmaid’s bouquet, creating a cohesive and elegant ambiance throughout the reception.

Courtney and William’s rustic wedding at River View at Occoquan still brings a smile to our faces. We hope the happiness and beauty of their special day continues to bloom for a lifetime. If you’re planning your own rustic wedding, let us create a floral wonderland that captures the essence of your love story.

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.
Come in. We’ve been expecting you. 🖤
