Spring Alexandria Wedding

Spring Alexandria Wedding

Kristin and Josh’s spring Alexandria wedding was largely a dry day but for that one moment of rain that allowed for an adorable umbrella photo. Nothing could dampen the sweet scheme of ivories, peaches and greens – soft and delicate like spring. Kristin’s bouquet featured some of our spring favorites – green parrot tulips, white lilac and ranunculus – rounded out with ivory Vendela roses, ivory spray roses, and peach Juliet garden roses. Josh sported a white ranunculus boutonniere finished with loops of bear grass.

If you haven’t seen the interior of St. Paul’s, it’s a stunner. Just see below. (And of course, we equally adore the happy couple getting married within.)

Following the ceremony, the wedding party explored the grounds at Mount Vernon for photos. Perfectly matched for a spring Mount Vernon Inn wedding, the bridesmaids bouquets featured vibrant peaches that popped against their soft mint dresses. Peach roses, stock, and parrot tulips were paired with white sweet pea and green viburnum – looking very pale here as opposed to the usual lime hue it was late in the season.

For the reception, in a nod to the colonial flavor of Mt. Vernon, glass hurricanes were ringed with wreaths of antique green hydrangea, peach stock and spray roses, ivory roses and white ranunculus accented with variegated ivy. For the longer tables, silver mint julep cups held lush design of the same complement of flowers. The cake was crowned and accented with a similar array of blooms, perfectly styled for a spring Mount Vernon Inn wedding

Beautiful spaces exist everywhere. You can book a great restaurant or walk into a well-designed hotel any day of the week. But what is it about weddings that feel so extraordinary? Yes, love is the obvious answer. Of course. But truly, when else in your life do you find yourself surrounded by flowers?!?! A wedding is one of those few moments we decide that a single day is worthy of transformation. To fill the room with a most fleeting and precious medium - flowers - knowing they’re here just long enough to make the moment unforgettable.

In discussing final changes, one of our couples had a note of hesitation in her voice, worried her palette might set a different mood than intended. Not seasonal enough? Too austere?

But here’s the thing: mood can be a matter of perspective. Which brings us to this wedding: once upon a time, orange was typecast as a strictly fall color. But flowers don’t follow rules. They bloom wildly, confidently, year-round! There are orange flowers in every season and in recent years, we’ve seen orange blooms show up to spring weddings, as warm oranges at summer soirées, and of course they’re still the favored guest at autumn affairs. Each time, the hue brings something fresh. Joy. Energy. That just-right edge.

Your color story should feel like you. In fact, for Olivia & David’s wedding, our bride’s mother shared that the color palette had been the one in her daughter’s childhood bedroom. A vibrant floral story that she had been living with all along. That’s what flowers can do. Pull memories forward, stitch generations together and turn a wedding into something deeply personal. And if it happens to challenge a few outdated ideas? Even better. 😉
