Few venues carry the presence of Anderson House. Its marble halls and gilded ceilings invite florals that feel architectural in their own right. For Heather & Clifford’s wedding, we worked in a single hue: red. Roses, ranunculus, and anthurium in layered tones of crimson, scarlet, and wine filled the ballroom in tall and low arrangements that stretched the length of the long tables. In a monochromatic palette, every petal and curve matters. Texture, proportion, and placement become the language of design. The result was bold yet refined, a composition that echoed the formality of the setting while transforming it into something deeply personal and unforgettable.

Before the installations. Before the ballroom glow. There’s this - buckets, stems, the quiet rhythm of preparation.

With a palette of orange, burgundy, and white, Kerry & Brendan’s wedding at the Woodrow Wilson House was a study in contrast: cassic in form, but unexpected in color. Kerry carried a classic bouquet of white garden roses, ranunculus, and lisianthus with ruscus and eucalyptus foliage, while her bridesmaids’ bouquets brought color with orange and burgundy blooms that popped against their gowns. The reception brought old world charm with tall cathedral candlestick centerpieces draped in amaranthus while lush, low garden urns held flowers in classic but textured greens and whites. The result was warm, textural, and timeless, a celebration that felt both refined and joyfully vibrant.

Caroline & Corey`s ceremony embraced fall in the best way: an aisle lined with heirloom pumpkins in soft neutrals and washed-out oranges, surrounded by florals that felt gathered from the season itself. Paired with candlelight, the look was more harvest elegance than Halloween. Texture, repetition, and color did the storytelling. It is proof that seasonal details can feel sophisticated when they are thoughtfully chosen and placed with intention.

Amanda & Jack’s Woodend wedding drew its inspiration from a William Morris print - lush, romantic, and rooted in nature. The florals carried that spirit through every detail: moss runners lined the tables, dotted with petite brown bottles of chamomile, blush spray roses, and wisps of greenery that felt as if they had grown there overnight. Cloche domes held tiny blooms like keepsakes. Brass animals cradled florals as though part of the garden itself, a perfect nod to the nature sanctuary venue. (Which ones can you find?) Even the greenery-lined staircase framing the cake echoed the same story. Every bloom was chosen for texture and movement, bringing that painterly, botanical world to life in three dimensions.

When Mother Nature takes her cues from the tablescape. 😉
At River Farm, the serpentine table looked as though it had grown right out of the landscape. Florals in plum, blush, taupe, and eggplant wound between wood candle holders and fruit, creating a rhythm that felt perfectly in step with the surrounding gardens. The palette was moody but soft, a study in texture and tone rather than contrast. It is our favorite kind of designs: one that blurs the line between what is arranged and what simply belongs.
