Torpedo Factory Alexandria VA Wedding

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect wedding venue, consider the Torpedo Factory in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. This former torpedo factory turned local art center offers an industrial charm with exposed ductwork, brushed concrete floors, and a clean, simple aesthetic—a blank canvas ready to be transformed into the Torpedo Factory Alexandria Virginia wedding of your dreams.

Susie and Grayson did just that, turning this industrial space into a vibrant celebration of love. Their Torpedo Factory Alexandria, VA wedding kicked off with a traditional ceremony at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, followed by a lively reception at the art center.

Susie, the radiant bride, stole the show with her bouquet featuring vibrant coral hues. Imagine coral peonies that would make anyone swoon, complemented by sweet pea, roses, snapdragons, and anemone. The bridesmaids followed suit, each carrying a mono botanic bouquet in a softer peach hue, creating a harmonious variation of the bridal bouquet. We absolutely love when brides infuse such thoughtful details into their big day!

As the festivities continued into the reception, the Torpedo Factory came alive with an eclectic mix of table designs. Half the tables boasted textured arrangements in square glass vases, adorned with navy and coral satin ribbons. The other half featured monochromatic designs in glass rectangle vases, each showcasing a different flower. From “Juliet” garden roses and “Femma” tea roses to stock, mini-calla lilies, and gerbera daisies, the floral arrangements showcased the beauty of coral in all its shades.

The reception was a visual feast with a play of colors and textures, bringing a modern preppy vibe to this industrial space. Each table told a story of love and creativity, making Susie and Grayson’s Torpedo Factory Alexandria VA wedding a memorable affair.

If you’re dreaming of a unique wedding venue in Alexandria, Virginia, consider the Torpedo Factory for an unforgettable celebration.

Oh how we love a room shot…

Don’t get us wrong! Give us all the delicious little flower close-ups. We want to see every ruffly petal and perfect place setting.

But then BACK UP!

Because this is the moment we’ve been thinking about all along. How do those centerpieces fill the room? Where does your eye go first? Do the tall pieces actually feel tall beneath a 20-foot ceiling?

Does the whole thing have rhythm?

Seeing all of those individual pieces finally come together into one beautiful room never, ever gets old.

Twenty-plus years in and we still get a little giddy about it.

Some venues need flowers that make a statement. Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is all about atmosphere.⁣
⁣
The exposed brick, warm lighting, and intimate scale already bring so much character to the space, so we leaned into layered candlelight, soft movement, and garden inspired flowers that felt romantic without overpowering the architecture.⁣

One of our favorite DC venues for couples who want their wedding to feel elegant, warm, and completely immersive.⁣

September, we’ve missed you!

September weddings get to have it both way: Summer flowers are still hanging around. Dahlias are at their absolute BEST. And little hints of fall start making their way into our buckets.

This is the month we start getting excited about foliage again. Berries, branches, grasses, pods, vines - all those slightly weird botanical things that make an arrangement more interesting!

Hello again, September!!
