Mayflower Hotel Washington DC Wedding

Jane and Ethan celebrated their union with a timeless and elegant wedding at the historic Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC. Their classic nuptials were a perfect blend of sophistication and romance, creating an unforgettable day filled with love and joy.

The day began with a morning ceremony at the LDS Temple, setting the tone for the rest of the festivities. Jane, the stunning bride, carried an exquisite cascading bridal bouquet of white phalaenopsis orchids, adding a touch of natural elegance to her ensemble. The bridesmaids complemented her with simple yet beautiful bouquets featuring ivory roses and spray roses, accented with dusty miller foliage for a touch of silvery softness.

As the day transitioned into evening, the festivities continued in the grandeur of the Mayflower Hotel’s Grand Ballroom. The reception exuded opulence, with long tables featuring lush and elegant floral garlands of white hydrangea, roses, spray roses, stock, and phalaenopsis orchids. These arrangements spanned the length of the 16-foot tables, creating a visually stunning and cohesive design that perfectly complemented the classic ambiance of the venue.

To further enhance the overall aesthetic, round tables were adorned with silver footed, mercury glass bowls. These centerpieces were lush and abundant, showcasing a blend of white hydrangea, roses, stock, spray roses, lisianthus, and dusty miller. The arrangements were thoughtfully accented with white phalaenopsis orchids, adding texture and movement to the design.

Jane and Ethan’s Mayflower Hotel wedding was a celebration of love and sophistication, captured in every detail. The classic and elegant style, paired with the luxurious floral arrangements, made their day truly timeless. The Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC provided the perfect backdrop for this enchanting celebration, leaving lasting memories for the happy couple and their guests.

A tented reception. Ceremony urns overflowing with white hydrangea and gladiola. Centerpieces that looked like they were plucked straight from an English country garden. Rachael and Scott`s Woodlawn wedding was everything. 🤍 This is exactly why we love what we do, taking a venue`s natural beauty and letting the flowers just... amplify it. Historic, romantic, and completely unforgettable. 🌿✨⁣

Theres something about September that always feels like a turning point. The days are still warm, but the morning is a bit cooler. School is back in session. The light starts to change. And after a long DC summer, you do all get that first day when you can open the door and think, yes, fall really is coming. 🍁

For me fall has always been tied to the rhythm of the school year. Kids going back to school and calendars filling up. Pulling sweaters out of the back of the closet, and thinking about Halloween before you’re quite ready to admit summer is over.

In the studio, autumn has another rhythm. September and October weddings - arguably our busiest time of the year - paired with all sorts of fun things. Pods, berries, grasses and all sorts of funky things.

I think there’s a reason fall weddings always feel so right. It’s a season built around change. The landscape shifts, the light softens, the year begins winding down… and in the midst of that, two people choose to begin something.

Maybe that’s what I love about this time of year. Autumn can feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. So here’s to another fall wedding season, changing leaves, cooler nights (no mosquitoes), celebrations and all the new beginnings still ahead.

Amy & Reuben’s wedding photos are here, and I forgot how much I loved this palette! White flowers, loads of green, and black woven through just enough to make everything feel a little sharper.⁣

We used anemones, ranunculus, roses, sweet pea and stock, with big, loose greenery moments throughout the room. It was springy without being pastel, classic without feeling too traditional, and so much fun to see all together at the Park Hyatt.⁣
⁣
Also, that bouquet. 🤍🖤⁣

Classic roses. Ethereal baby’s breath. And bleached ruscus for some fashion forward style. Classic with an edge.
