Timeless Woodlawn Wedding

Timeless Woodlawn Wedding

Is there anything more classic than a lush, green and white wedding? We we first met, Annemarie described her look as natural, timeless, elegant, soft and romantic. And that’s what we delivered! It was the most beautiful day in September when Annemarie and Cooper were wed at Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House in Alexandria, VA. The timeless Woodlawn wedding featured lush greens, white blossoms, and touches of copper and gold throughout.

Our bride carried a stunning statement piece, filled with dahlias, roses and spray roses, astrantia and lisianthus in classic white finished with a mix of eucalyptus and ruscus for a lush and abundant look. Her wedding party, clad in the most elegant copper gowns, carried simpler smaller versions of Annemarie’s bouquet.

The ceremony took place before the Georgian style house at Woodlawn, the copper-poled arch picking up on the natural brick red-orange hues of the building in the distance. Two floor standing urns flanked the entrance to the aisle, each filled with abundant texture – cocculus, salal and eucalyptus foliages accented with white stock, ivory spray roses, and white lisianthus. Delicately poised on the arch were organic installations of ruscus foliage with pops of white roses and dahlia to complete the simple and sweet ceremony backdrop.

This natural and organic aesthetic continued into the tent for the timeless Woodlawn wedding reception, where a mix of designs were placed on the tables. Gold lanterns were ringed with lush greens and pops of white for half of the tables, while a gold Revere bowl centered the remainder.

It’s been a very long time since floral centerpieces were just flowers in a vase. Today’s centerpieces have multiple elements, loads of candles, things that have to be assembled and even built on-site. And yet the presumption persists that the florist is just going to show up with a box that can be left in the corner for someone else to place on the table. 

Putting aside the fact that we take far more pride in our work than that… to say that we value logistics and planning is an understatement!! And logistics are truly our skill set. We can tell you how many man hours a particular installation will take and can design for efficiency. It’s truly our super power.

Most floral design relies on other things being in place. Not useful? “You can get into the room at this time.” Actually useful? “The bar you’re building that cascading piece on will in place no later than X o’clock.” But more than that? Start realizing that event demands are not what they used to be.

I love eavesdropping. 😜

While setting up for the new Georgetown Citibank, we overheard someone say, “This is the moment.” ❤️

And I couldn’t have said it better myself. Because when flowers are doing their job, they don’t just fill a space. They create a moment you can feel.
