Blush Sulgrave Club Wedding in Washington DC

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.

In a city known for grand beaux arts mansions and classic ballroom weddings, there’s something so refreshing about the industrial architecture of Ritz-Carlton Georgetown.⁣
The exposed brick, steel details, and warm textures create a completely different kind of romance. It feels moodier, more intimate, and unexpectedly modern while still feeling unmistakably DC.⁣
⁣
We love the design opportunities a venue like this presents. Soft, garden inspired flowers against raw architectural elements will always be one of our favorite contrasts.⁣

How did we get these lemon arrangements from Point A to Point B with everything still attached? 🍋

Plastic wrap.

Floral design is equal parts beauty, engineering, and MacGyvering. Making it pretty is one thing. Figuring out how to transport it safely is a whole other skill.

A moongate arch dressed in nothing but lush greenery - lemon leaf, ruscus, eucalyptus - and that was just the beginning. 🌿 Sometimes the most stunning designs are the ones that let the natural beauty do the talking. Lindsay and Matt`s classic Woodlawn ceremony is proof that simple, done really well, is always enough. 🤍⁣

This bouquet lives rent free in my head, but not for the reason you think.⁣
⁣
Our bride, Ana, had chosen stunning fuchsia cattleya orchids for her bouquet, so, as we always do, we ordered them well in advance. When our flowers arrived, I opened the box to find... white cattleya orchids. Beautiful, but not what our bride wanted. We immediately called our wholesaler and arranged for another shipment.⁣
⁣
Two days later, I opened the second box. White orchids. Again.⁣
⁣
This is the kind of moment that tries a florist`s soul.⁣
⁣
We arranged for a third shipment to arrive Saturday morning while preparing backup plans we hoped we`d never need. We debated telling Ana what was happening, but ultimately decided our job wasn`t to hand her our problem. Our job was to solve it.⁣
⁣
The correct orchids arrived Saturday morning. Ana walked down the aisle carrying the bouquet she`d dreamed of. She never knew any of this had happened.⁣
⁣
The flowers are only part of what you`re hiring when you chose a florist. You`re also hiring someone who will fight for your vision. Who will MacGyver like their life depends on it. Because substitutions aren`t made casually; they`re made only after every reasonable option has been exhausted.⁣
⁣
There`s an ethical dilemma at the heart of this story. As the bride, would you have wanted to know? As the florist, what would you have done?⁣
