There is no place in Alexandria more perfect for a small, intimate wedding than the gorgeous Archer Hotel, formerly the Lorien (except perhaps for perhaps fellow Alexandria boutique hotel – the Morrison House!). Yoko and Marc began their spring Archer Hotel wedding with nuptials downtown at the historic St. Matthews Cathedral in DC, before retiring to our equally historic city of Alexandria, for the reception.
For their flowers, Yoko chose a light spring color palette of whites, greens and pale pinks. In keeping with the spring colors, we suggested using spring flowers like lilac, sweet pea, ranunculus and tulips, accented with touches of classic flowers like roses for a touch of pink, for her bouquet.
For the reception, simple square glass vases, lined on the inside with green aspidistra leaf, were filled with white hydrangea, green parrot tulips, white ranunculus, green cabbage roses and white lilac. It was the perfect choice for a spring, Archer Hotel wedding.
