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.

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.⁣
