Spring Wedding at Congressional Country Club

A spring wedding at Congressional Country Club is the thing of dreams. The venue is always a beautiful and stately place, with its unique architecture and beautifully appointed reception spaces, particularly when the weather cooperates. It was a beautiful, early spring day for Sarah and Nate’s wedding on the terrace overlooking the historic golf course, with the reception in the grand ballroom. We really love working with our Congressional couples!

Sarah carried a simple, elegant bouquet of white mini-calla lilies, in keeping with her gorgeous and clean lines of her dress. For the bridesmaids, simple bouquets of tulips in shades of light pink and white accented with green-white parrot tulips complimented their red dresses perfectly.

For the ceremony, flowers in soft pinks and whites sat in low floor standing urns overlooking the golf course. The colors were punched up for the reception, adding a dramatic touch of hot pink to the whites and lighter pinks. Soft, classic, romantic flowers such as roses, stock, spray roses and hydrangea were featured in the arrangements. As guests progressed to the ballroom for the spring Congressional Country Club wedding reception, centerpieces were equally vivid and colorful, with deep pink hydrangea, light pink stock, and ivory roses, with green-white parrot tulips and pink sweet pea adding a touch of for a spring Congressional Country Club wedding.

Three months. One venue switch. A minimalist vision infused with joy, intention—and a whole lot of love.

When Belle & Karl reimagined their wedding plans (from a celebration in Haiti to a minimalist DC wedding), they knew they wanted to keep it simple and meaningful. Our florals followed suit: clean, organic arrangements with lush foliage and natural texture that framed the day without overwhelming it. Modern, elegant, and tailored just for them.
Rain made a surprise appearance, but nothing could dampen the joy. And when the rara street band made its entrance? The party truly began.

We love when couples bring their full selves to their day—including their culture, their spontaneity, and their love story.

Minimalism never looked so rich.

When your florals burst like fireworks - just in time for the Fourth 🎆 ⁣

At DC’s always-iconic Hotel Monaco, this red, white, and blue design hit the sweet spot between classic and cool. We kept it gently asymmetrical to add dimension and drama, with just enough visual spark to turn heads. ⁣
⁣
Bonus points if you spotted the table numbers featuring DC landmarks... because details always matter. 💥🇺🇸🌹⁣

Sleek, elegant, and intentionally understated, the ceremony in the Colonnade Room at the Fairmont Hotel let Angelica & Ricky take center stage beneath a classic bamboo chuppah draped in orchids and hydrangea. Letting the florals whisper elegance rather than shout, we kept things minimal and modern.⁣
⁣
Angelica`s sculptural Biedermeier bouquet of callas, roses, and stock set the tone for the monochromatic magic to come. And once the reception doors opened and guests entered the Grand Ballroom? Drama fully activated. Cascading white phalaenopsis orchids, glowing candlelight, and modern tablescapes transformed the space into a luxe all-white dream.⁣
⁣
Proof that restraint in one room can set the stage for serious impact in the next. ✨⁣

When Clara & John shared their vision of adding just a touch of blue to their wedding at DAR, we took that spark and ran with it. Instead of reaching for blue flowers, we leaned into chinoiserie, weaving in patterned porcelain vessels to add depth, interest, and that perfect pop of blue. It’s what we love most: taking your ideas and elevating them into something layered, unexpected, and completely yours.⁣
⁣
P.S. Did you know there`s a cabinet at DAR that holds a collection of blue transferware dishes and container? Look for it the next time you`re there!⁣

For Lara & Owen`s ceremony, we collaborated with @modernfoliage and @voileandveil to create a truly immersive and unforgettable moment filled with lush draping a greenery, symphony of plants and, of course, florals. It’s always such a joy to transform this iconic space, and we’re thrilled to be returning to NMWA this weekend for another gorgeous celebration.

Double duty, done beautifully.

For Claire & Sean’s wedding at the Dockmaster’s Building, we created a floral garland for their ceremony arch. Eleegant, lush, and just dramatic enough to hold its own against the waterfront backdrop.

But we weren’t done yet. That same garland made a second appearance, repurposed to trail down the length of their head table. Thoughtful, sustainable, and completely gorgeous. Because we believe a good floral moment deserves an encore.
