Featuring an exquisite blush and neutral color palette, Kerissa and Phillip’s sophisticated St. Francis Hall wedding in Washington, DC was nothing short of stunning! For Kerissa we designed an elegant and textured bridal bouquet that was the perfect complement to her gently flowing gown. For this look, we combined classic ivory garden roses, Vendela and Quicksand roses, Café au Lait dahlia, white stock and lisianthus, and blush sedum with a mix of Italian ruscus and soft green seeded eucalyptus foliages. Her bridesmaids carried simpler, smaller bouquets in the same color scheme. The boutonnières were designed using a flawless ivory rose for Phillip, and a Quicksand rose for each of the other men, all accented with eucalyptus.
Ceremony at Immaculate Conception Church
For the couple’s ceremony, two striking altar arrangements flanked the ceremony. Each classic urn arrangement featured white hydrangea, white gladiola, white stock, light pink snapdragons, and roses in white and champagne hues. Further accents of cocculus and salal added texture and interest. In addition, we decked out both sides of the aisle with pew posies consisting of white stock, champagne roses, ivory-blush spray roses, and seeded eucalyptus foliage, finished with champagne satin ribbon.
Beautiful St. Francis Hall Wedding Reception
Kerissa and Phillip’s sophisticated St. Francis Hall wedding reception was unforgettable. From the first statement piece in a gold urn on the escort card table to the mix of two styles of centerpieces alternating across the great hall, the feel was like being transported to Spain. An elevated design on half the tables featured a tall cathedral candlestick topped with a lush, rounded design of white hydrangea, white stock, ivory and champagne roses, ivory spray roses, Café au Lait dahlia, and blush sedum, accented with Italian ruscus, seeded eucalyptus, and draping touches of green hanging amaranthus. The other design, to create intimacy in the large space, featured a classic garden urn filled with a rich array of similar blooms.
Everything about Kerissa and Phillip’s nuptials was gorgeous. Congratulations to this wonderful couple!
