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.

Oh the places we go! Working inside Folger Shakespeare Library is such a full circle moment for me. I once worked in art museums, so being back in a space like this (now with flowers?!) just makes me so happy. Truly honored to be part of this Friday’s gala 💫 , but in the meantime, here’s a throwback to last year’s event!

Time is not a florist’s friend. From the time this ever so perishable product arrives to when we set things up in meager timelines while dodging people - not to mention waiting for others to finish their part before we can start ours… Let’s just say it’s a challenge, but one we meet head on each week with ingenuity. Planning, pre-planning and even more planning. It’s not always sexy but it gets the job done.

Alexandra & Brian’s wedding at River Farm had that early summer, just-gathered feeling that never tries too hard but still feels completely considered. The palette stayed soft. Think pastel wildflowers with a little movement, nothing too tight or overly styled. Everything felt natural to the setting.⁣
⁣
The ceremony unfolded under the big tree with an arch that felt like it had grown there, loose and garden-inspired in shades of pale pink, light blue, cream, and lavender. It set the tone for the entire day.⁣
⁣
For the reception, long tables were filled all the way down with milk glass, blue mason jars, and pieces of depression glass, each one holding a slightly different mix of flowers. It created that full, abundant look that makes a space feel warm and inviting, while still leaving room for everything the evening needed to hold.⁣
Personal, relaxed, and quietly layered in a way that lets the setting - and the people in it - shine.⁣

It’s planning season for the Scout Guide launch party, and we couldn’t be more excited. 💃🏻

Any guesses on what we’ll see this year? 🤔

There is something especially beautiful about bringing soft garden flowers into a space like St. Francis Hall. The historic stone walls have a certain weight to them, and loose, romantic florals create a lovely contrast that keeps the room from feeling too formal.⁣
⁣
For Marina & Kosta’s wedding, the goal was to make the reception feel like a garden had quietly taken over the hall. We designed lush arrangements in peach, cream, and fresh greens that felt natural and abundant on the tables. Against the warm tones of the room and the glow of candlelight, the flowers softened the space and made the entire evening feel relaxed, welcoming, and full of life.⁣
