Summer Oxon Hill Manor Wedding

Summer Oxon Hill Manor Wedding

Davina and Craig got married on what was arguably an incredibly hot, August day (not unusual for a DC summer wedding), but everything about their vintage Oxon Hill Manor wedding day did not betray the immense heat. We were honored to have have provided both their wedding flowers as well as day of coordination to keep everything and everyone as cool as a cucumber! Their vision for the wedding flowers was of a vintage and romantic aesthetic, embracing a palette of mauve, blush, sage and gold. Davina’s bridal bouquet consisted of Cool Water roses, Cafe au Lait dahlia, light pink stock, lisianthus, and astilbe, and finally touches of slate blue thistle, seeded eucalyptus and jasmine vine for a wild looseness. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were simpler versions of the bridal, featuring light pink Sweet Eskimo roses accented with jasmine vine and seeded eucalyptus.

The ceremony took place on the lawn at Oxon Hill Manor, with the incredible view of the water in the distance. The bridesmaids and groomsmen arrived arm-in-arm along the aisle (an important expedience on the hot summer day), while Davina arrived down the aisle escorted by her father. The lilting sounds from Washington Virtuosi set the tone for the ceremony. Also a nod to the heat, the groomsmen wore vests, a tidy boutonniere of rose, thistle and eucalyptus providing a hint of color. The adorable flower girl, holding a single bloom of lavender rose, truly stole the show.

The aesthetic for the reception was ethereal and light, with baby’s breath impressively massed in a gold urn for the escort card table and simple table centerpieces of baby’s breath in a gold bowl to match – perfect choices for a vintage Oxon Hill Manor wedding. We assisted the couple in choosing a green burlap linen and complementing pink napkin from amongst the selection at Spilled Milk Catering to add color for the reception. Vintage fans decorated the fireplace and library. A very sweet, small cake for the couple to cut was the final act of the day, gold rimmed and simply accented with strategically placed lavender roses.

Congratulations to Davina and Craig! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day!

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨ 

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level 

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance

Not all green and white floral palettes are created equal. This one here will NEVER go out of style and is truly as timeless as they come! Magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary, and delicate touches of white… Add velvet linens and gold touches, and we’re smitten... 😍
