If there is one design element that always works at St. Francis Hall, it is candlelight. The stone walls hold the glow in a way that makes the entire room feel warm and intimate once the sun goes down, no matter the time of year.
For Katherine & Johnathan`’s summer wedding, we layered taper candles in varying pastel shades with small votives across the long tables. The room slowly came alive as guests entered for dinner. The flowers were designed to sit comfortably among the candles rather than compete with them, allowing the light to move through the arrangements and across the tables. By the time everyone was seated, the hall felt completely transformed.

Lavender can be a surprisingly difficult color.
Too much and it can feel overly sweet. Too little and it disappears entirely.
What we loved about Kortni & Aaron`s wedding at 2941 Restaurant in Falls Church was how lavender was balanced with crisp whites, soft sage greens, and layered textures. The result felt romantic and fresh without feeling precious.
A reminder that color is rarely about the color itself. It`s about what you pair it with.

The Old Masters knew something we’re bringing back. ✨
Clusters of plums, grapes, even nuts add to the lush tablescape of flowers, the kind of abundance that belongs in a Caravaggio painting. Rich, tactile, and impossibly beautiful in person. It’s one of our favorite ways to add depth and drama to a wedding table without sacrificing an ounce of elegance.

One of the easiest ways to make a ballroom feel dynamic is to stop making every table look the same.
For Michelle & Sam`s wedding at the Colonnade Room at the Fairmont, we mixed tall centerpieces with lower garden-style arrangements, creating variation throughout the room and giving the eye somewhere new to land at every turn.
But the tables weren`t carrying the design on their own. A flower-filled garland stretched the length of the head table. Greenery-clad columns framed the colonnade and dance floor throughout the evening. Together, those larger elements helped anchor the room while the centerpieces added rhythm and movement.
Different heights. Different focal points. One cohesive design.
