Statement Wedding at Decatur House

Every wedding makes a statement. Choices in style, color and more make each event unique to the couple hosting and being celebrated. In the case of Ever and Evan’s statement wedding at Decatur House, the wedding party made a literal statement with portraits at the Supreme Court. Ever and her bridesmaids stood in front of the Supreme Court holding signs that together read, “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.” We love to nod to both Ever and Evan’s legal backgrounds on their wedding day.

Ever and Evan’s original nuptial plans, like many this year, began with plans in 2019. An elegant event initially planned for August of 2020 became an event for May 2021, and then finally an August 2021 event. Not only the date changed. Originally planned for a museum setting, in navigating the ever changing landscape of safety, the couple opted to move their festivities to Decatur House, where the reception would take place under tent.

The day began with classic white bouquets and boutonnieres accented with beautiful touches of dusty green eucalyptus and dusty miller. The ceremony took place at National City Christian Church. A mix of elevated and low designs featuring gold stands and containers brought the reception tent to life. White hydrangea, roses, spray roses, lisianthus, dahlia, and multiple types of greenery were used throughout the space. And finally, adding a warm glow to the tent at Decatur House, floating candles on each of the tables brought everything together.

DC’s grand hotels pull out all the stops for the holidays, and we can’t get enough of the tree-lined hallway at The Mayflower Hotel. What a dreamy backdrop for our winter bride. ✨⁣

An elegant tented reception at Dumbarton House? Say no more. For Meghan & Pierce’s celebration, we designed soft, romantic centerpieces that flowed effortlessly down the head table and added movement to the round guest tables. A mix of textured greenery brought that lush, organic touch we love. It’s proof that timeless and fresh can go hand in hand. Tented weddings are stunning in any season… especially when the florals do the heavy lifting.⁣

Airy. Intentional. Unexpected.
Bouquets like this don’t just come together. They’re built with a designer’s eye and an engineer’s precision. Structured, sculptural, and perfectly imperfect.

The wired bouquet is having a moment, and we’re all in. Staying at the forefront of floral design means constantly evolving our techniques. Craftsmanship, mechanics, and keeping our skills as fresh as our stems! Modern bridal design? You’re looking at it.

Hair? Done. Makeup? Glowing. Bouquet?

A dream in toffee and white. And when the champagne tower hits just right? That’s the Petal’s Edge touch. 🍾💐

From behind-the-scenes to final frame, this shoot was full of joy, movement, and flower-filled magic. Because designing moments that feel as good as they look? That’s kind of our thing.

We’re never one to shy away from a floral moment, and at a venue like Congressional Country Club, the stakes (and the ceilings) are high. For Rebecca & Richard`s celebration, we played up the grandeur of the space with towering centerpieces and sprawling greenery that brought movement and life to each table. A timeless green-and-white palette with layers of texture gave this classic ballroom a fresh, organic twist. ⁣

Sun-drenched florals, bold texture, and one unforgettable chuppah moment.

For Aliza & Alex’s summer celebration at Oxon Hill Manor, we went full color-forward. Coral peonies were the undeniable star. Paired with wildflower-inspired details like daisies, snapdragons, freesia, and even herbs, the floral design struck that perfect balance between luxe and lighthearted.

From the birch pole chuppah trailing with blooms to vibrant, garden-style centerpieces, this tented affair radiated joyful energy - proof that color can absolutely be elevated!
