Summer White Wedding

Summer White Wedding

In the heat of summer, barely anyone in DC thinks about being outdoors for any length of time. The best part of that is we get to see the fabulous interiors of the grand wedding venues in this city! Arianne and Daniel’s wedding at the Carnegie Institute certainly didn’t disappoint. As a nice offset to the heat, their wedding colors embraces pale hues of whites and touches of blush. Arianne’s bridal bouquet was designed using ivory and white garden roses, dahlia, stock, and spray roses accented with pale pink Sweet Eskimo roses. The bridesmaids’ bouquets featured similar textures but in a clean white and ivory palette. For the groom and groomsmen boutonnieres, a classic rose accented with seeded eucalyptus was used.

The wedding ceremony took place in the rotunda at the Carnegie, with the massive doors as the backdrop. Creating a focal point for the ceremony, two striking and modern arrangement sat on pedestals. Each design featured a tall fluted glass vase topped with an expressive design of white and blush pink dendrobium orchids.

The couple opted for a cocktail reception, so flowers provided subtle pops of color and texture. The ceremony arrangements moved to tables (an advantage of having ceremony and reception in one place!), while the remaining tables featured wedding table centerpiece consisting of a silver mercury julep cup with a simple pouf of white hydrangea. Bridesmaids bouquets were placed in vases on the balance of the tables.

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨ 

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea! 

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

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
