If you’re getting married at the Torpedo Factory Art Center, here’s what most couples miss:
You don’t have to “match” the industrial vibe. You can balance it.
Sally & Kevin leaned fully into romance… blush, ivory, soft greens, gold vessels… and it worked because contrast creates impact.
We layered the design intentionally:
✨ Rounded ceremony pieces to soften the architecture
✨ Repurposed arrangements into the reception (smart budget move)
✨ Alternating low + tall centerpieces to carry your eye through that long space
Result? A room that felt warm, elevated, and completely transformed. This is where design matters. Not just what you choose, but how it all works together.

Rainy wedding weekends just hit different. Blue patterned linens, chinoiserie vases, garden inspired blooms in shades of peach, white, green, and blue, plus bridesmaids in the prettiest soft blue created a design that felt equal parts timeless and romantic. Proof that a little rain only makes the flowers look better. ☔️🩵

One more time for the people in the back! 😂 A night in St. Barth’s… right here on the Potomac!✨
We were so honored to help celebrate the launch of Vol. 11 of The Scout Guide Alexandria and toast the exciting next chapter under new owner Kerry Delaney at the beautiful Jula’s on the Potomac.
We leaned all the way into the St. Barth’s theme, with a cascading floral piece in the entry to set the tone as guests arrived. A daisy-filled installation over the bar brought that effortless island charm. Baskets overflowing with lemons and olive foliage added a French Caribbean warmth throughout the space, and touches of yellow kept everything feeling sun-drenched and joyful.
We’re so proud to be part of a guide that champions small businesses and celebrates creativity in our community. Supporting local means investing in the makers, doers, and dreamers who make Alexandria vibrant — and The Scout Guide does just that, beautifully.
Cheers to Vol. 11 and to all that’s ahead for Kerry and this incredible community! 🍋🌼

The Scout is Out! We are so excited to be featured in Volume 11 alongside so many of the incredible businesses that make Alexandria a great place to be.
Thank you to the @tsgalexandria team, @asicophoto and especially to @kerry.delaney for her inaugural volume! Can`t wait for what`s to come!
Still riding high from designing the first moment guests experienced at the Vol. 11 The Scout Guide launch party. The theme pulled from St. Bart’s energy, so of course yellow had to lead the conversation. Butter yellow, citrus tones, sun-soaked florals… this palette is absolutely having a moment right now. Creating this outdoor floral wall felt like building a little burst of summer before anyone even stepped inside, and honestly, the whole night was just so fab. ☀️💛
