Traditional Alexandria Wedding

January 30, 2015

Alexandra and Steven ‘s wedding as the epitome of a traditional Alexandria wedding. From the traditional ceremony setting at Christ Church, one of the oldest churches in Old Town Alexandria, to the reception at Mount Vernon Inn on George Washington’s estate, the wedding spelled classic from touch to finish. Alexandra’s long-sleeve lace gone exuded classic Grace Kelley vibes, while Steven looked dashing in his Marine Corp dress uniform. Florals embraced a delicate blush and dove gray palette. Classic done oh-so-right.

The bridal bouquet featured the best of spring. The loosely styled, garden bouquet featured peonies and Juliet garden roses, spring touches of lilac, light pink ranunculus and sweet pea, and frilly white astilbe with delicate strands of jasmine vine. The bridesmaids’ bouquets held similar hues, pairing with the dove gray dresses.

A traditional Alexandria wedding altar design flanked the ceremony area, situated on the two window sills. The two small windows featured a similar palate, designed so they could be repurposed on the fireplace mantels for the reception.

We were thrilled to hear that the gem of a Georgetown venue, the City Tavern Club, was purchased and is no longer closing! A gorgeous historic space, the venue is situated in the heart of Georgetown and lends itself perfectly to elegant, classic affairs in its beautifully appointed space. It was the perfect site for Alexandra & Peter`s classic green and white floral palette, filled with roses, stock, larskpur and peonies, and truly evoked a timeless feeling.⁣

Lavender isn’t a palette we get to work with too often, sadly, but when we do, we’re so excited to incorporate some of those gorgeous purple blooms like clematis, campanula and astrantia.⁣
Michelle and Sam’s wedding day at the Fairmont was straight out of a purple wonderland!⁣
