Stylish Fairmont Hotel DC Wedding

Fairmont Hotel DC Wedding

This past fall, we had the honor of working with Annie and David to bring their Fairmont Hotel wedding to life. You cannot compile a list of the best DC wedding venues without mentioning the Fairmont Hotel. From the intimate Colonnade Room to the Grand Ballroom, the traditional vibe is glamorous from start to finish. So that being said, this charming couple wanted play up that elegance.

To start, we paired classic whites and ivories with warm, candlelight shades of champagne and gold. Add touches of eucalyptus, garden roses, and dahlias and we had a recipe for a romantic and classic fall floral palette. And while the bouquets were STUNNING, that was just the start to this incredibly stylish fall wedding at the Fairmont Hotel.

St. Mary’s Armenian Church Ceremony

The wedding ceremony took place at St. Mary’s Armenian Church. If you haven’t visited, it’s a gorgeous church in northwest DC. Simple altar arrangements graced the sanctuary.

Fairmont Hotel Grand Ballroom Reception

Once guests arrived to the Fairmont for the reception, they were greeted with a luxurious and dramatic room of tall gold glass vases. Each elevated stand was topped with a classic designs of white hydrangea, stock, champagne roses, ivory spray roses, and lisianthus finished with soft gray-green eucalyptus foliage. Filling the table level of the designs were alternating gold julep cups with hydrangea and eucalyptus and elevated glass stands with floating candles for a romantic glow. A stylish fall wedding ballroom you just want to twirl around in.

Oh how we love a room shot…

Don’t get us wrong! Give us all the delicious little flower close-ups. We want to see every ruffly petal and perfect place setting.

But then BACK UP!

Because this is the moment we’ve been thinking about all along. How do those centerpieces fill the room? Where does your eye go first? Do the tall pieces actually feel tall beneath a 20-foot ceiling?

Does the whole thing have rhythm?

Seeing all of those individual pieces finally come together into one beautiful room never, ever gets old.

Twenty-plus years in and we still get a little giddy about it.

Some venues need flowers that make a statement. Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is all about atmosphere.⁣
⁣
The exposed brick, warm lighting, and intimate scale already bring so much character to the space, so we leaned into layered candlelight, soft movement, and garden inspired flowers that felt romantic without overpowering the architecture.⁣

One of our favorite DC venues for couples who want their wedding to feel elegant, warm, and completely immersive.⁣

September, we’ve missed you!

September weddings get to have it both way: Summer flowers are still hanging around. Dahlias are at their absolute BEST. And little hints of fall start making their way into our buckets.

This is the month we start getting excited about foliage again. Berries, branches, grasses, pods, vines - all those slightly weird botanical things that make an arrangement more interesting!

Hello again, September!!
