Statement Wedding at Decatur House

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.

A rooftop celebration that proves timeless can still be bold. For Elaine & Trey’s wedding at Capitol View at 400, we leaned into classic green and white, but elevated it with sculptural greenery installations, gold Harlow stands, and skyline views that stretched for miles. A ceiling of foliage softened the tented space, while sleek black bridesmaid dresses added contrast and edge. Clean, refined, and impossibly romantic.

It’s Bike to Work Day — and while we usually pedal toward petals, we couldn’t resist sharing this creative twist from Elle & Bryan, one of our couples who wheeled their love of cycling straight into the ceremony. 🚲✨ 

Elle & Bryan’s wedding at Dumbarton House was full of charm, personal touches, and one especially fun nod to their love of cycling. Bicycle wheels became sculptural backdrops, proving that when it comes to personal touches, there’s no such thing as too niche.

Designing florals around unexpected objects? That’s our lane. And yes — it was all uphill in the best possible way.
