Sequoia Wedding

Located on the Georgetown waterfront, Sequoia restaurant boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and magnificent views of the Potomac River and neighboring Rosslyn’s skyline. It is light-filled space for an elegant wedding. The main dining room features a neon and glass vacuum tube light installation by artist Hitoshi Kuriyama.

The luxurious atmosphere at Sequoia set an elevated tone for Jennifer and Jonathan’s wedding. Reflecting the perfect blend of classic, romantic, and modern sensibilities, the floral palette for this winter Sequoia wedding featured an array of the season’s best – anemone, tweedia, ranunculus, garden roses, and lush, deep green foliages. The pops of color were a welcome warmth to winter’s chill. w

Drawing eyes up in the ballroom were crystal candelabra, each set with blush taper candles. Glass chimneys enclosed the candles and provided an additional glimmer to the reception. The remaining tables alternated between two designs. The first featured a glass cube vase with a lush design of roses, hydrangea, stock and anemone in shades of pink, peach and white. The design sat within an open triangle of blush taper candles in crystal candlesticks. Gold rimmed geometric lanterns were placed on the remaining tables, each with a wreath of peach stock, light pink spray roses, ruscus and eucalyptus foliage. A long and low design dressed the sweetheart table, in which delicate touches of white tweedia and anemone danced above a field of lush garden roses, hydrangea, and stock accented with Italian ruscus. Classic shapes and clean lined modern vessels made for an elegant Sequoia wedding.

Head tables call for drama.⁣
⁣
At the International Spy Museum, Danielle & Peter’s head table became the focal point of the reception. Suspended florals brought color and scale into a sleek, modern space, while candles and layered textures grounded the design to create intimacy beneath. The effect was both dramatic and inviting, a statement that marked the couple’s place in the room. For us, flowers aren’t just about filling space, they’re about shaping it: directing attention, softening architecture, and transforming even the most contemporary venue into something romantic and unforgettable.⁣

A floral palette of rich jewel tones have a way of redefining a room... For Alex & John`s wedding at the Hotel Monaco, layers of burgundy, eggplant, and textured seasonal blooms brought depth and drama to the ceremony space. The architecture was already striking, but the flowers changed the atmosphere, creating warmth, intimacy, and focus where guests gathered. That’s the impact of investing in floral design: it goes beyond color. Flowers set the mood, shape the experience, and ensure your wedding feels unforgettable from the very first impression.⁣

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? 😍

Backyard weddings come with charm built in. Intimacy, laughter, the feeling of home. And flowers should be designed to meet that atmosphere! For Kristel & Jordan`s celebration, we leaned into their pastel floral palette paired with texture, and movement, keeping the palette playful but elevated. The result was a design that felt one-of-a-kind, deeply personal, and still refined. It’s proof that whether it’s a ballroom or a backyard, thoughtful floral design always sets the tone for the experience.⁣

Candlelight does something flowers can’t do on their own: it shifts the entire atmosphere. At Capitol View at 400, the skyline is already a showstopper, so we kept the florals for Rachael & Andrew`s wedding refined and layered, then added candlelight to transform the tables after dark. The flicker reflects off petals, glassware, and linens, making every detail feel more intentional. Especially in fall, when evenings arrive earlier, candles extend the life of the flowers and create a sense of intimacy that photographs beautifully.⁣

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.
