Sulgrave Club Wedding

Lush, classic and romantic were words Kelly and Jim shared to describe what they wanted for their Sulgrave Club wedding. We chose a palette of soft hues – blushes, pale pinks, and classic whites punctuated with soft green foliages. Textured but tailored in style, Kelly’s bridal bouquet was a showstopper. Designed around champagne Sahara roses, and ivory roses and spray roses, and white lisianthus, summer garden touches of Café au Lait dahlia, light pink astilbe, white veronica and pops of a deeper peach spray rose gave a gardeny dimension to the bouquet. The bridesmaids carried complementary bouquets of Vendela and Sahara roses, ivory spray roses, white lisianthus, light pink astilbe, and white veronica accented with seeded eucalyptus foliage, wrapped with blush satin ribbon. Jim’s boutonnière was designed with an ivory Vendela rose accented with artful loops of bear grass. For the remaining boutonnières, we combined champagne Sahara roses with bear grass.

Ceremony and Reception

Following the ceremony at the St. Gabriel’s Church, the guests were treated to a Sulgrave Club wedding designed in classic hues of peach, champagne, pale pink and ivory with touches of green. Adding to the venue’s already stunning reception spaces were the couple’s two unique guest table centerpiece concepts. For half the guest tables, silver candelabras held elevated designs of white hydrangea, peach stock, champagne roses, ivory spray roses, Café au Lait dahlia, white lisianthus and light pink astilbe finished with touches of salal and seeded eucalyptus foliage. Thee remaining tables featured a silver mercury glass bowl with bountiful white hydrangea, peach stock, champagne roses, ivory spray roses, Café auLait dahlia, white lisianthus, light pink astilbe, and white veronica, accented with seeded eucalyptus foliage. For a sweet finishing touch, we crowned Kelly and Jim’s cake with beautiful blooms, and provided a pretty toss bouquet for Kelly to throw.

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.

Sage and lavender never looked so chic 💜🌿 Alex & Andrew’s wedding at the Alexandrian was a perfect study in color-forward design. We loved how the bold linens played off the florals—especially those dreamy taper candles echoing the palette. Under a clear-top tent, the entire space felt fresh, modern, and effortlessly romantic. Proof that thoughtful details and color can transform a space into something unforgettable.⁣
