Vibrant Oxon Hill Manor Wedding

Vibrant Oxon Hill Manor Wedding

There are times, when working with a couple on the design for their wedding flowers, that it feels almost like a Iron Chef competition. You are given key ingredients, unusual parameters and then go! Come up with something unique and creative! Such was the case with Lily and Phil’s vibrant Oxon Hill Manor wedding.

Lily loved an organic look and rustic textures – herbs, unusual flowers like coxcomb, succulents. Phil favored a modern look – clean lines and simplicity. The agreed upon color scheme was an unusual and vibrant mix of rich purples, greens and oranges. A color scheme of complimentary colors can be tricky, but the result was unique and stunning. This was one of those times where seeing it come together was amazing, and seeing the photos from the photographer took our breath away. Lily’s bouquet had a natural organic feel, mixing in herbs, berries, succulents and coxcomb with garden flowers like purple stock and lisianthus. The bridesmaids carried bouquets of orange dahlia and coxcomb, coneflower pods, purple lisianthus, and berries accented with fragrant herbs. The boutonnieres were all mini-calla lilies, reflecting Phil’s more modern tastes – orange for the groom and purple for the rest of the men. The flower girls carried baskets of rose petals – one orange, one green, one lavender – a color blocking that foreshadows the reception.

 

The ceremony took place in the garden at Oxon Hill Manor.  A simple birch pole chuppah supported a canopy of natural silk duping.  The four urns at the base were filled with a mix of herbs – lavender, basil, mint, thyme and rosemary.

The reception took on a truly modern flair. The complex color scheme was color blocked, so that the flowers focused on only monochromatic oranges, a contrast to the green leaf-wrapped vases, purple linens, orange stemware, and lime green napkins. Two designs were created to reflect the mix of tables. Industrial-feeling orbs in green and purple were installed by Design Foundry from the ceiling of the tent.

On the round tables, three glass bubble bowls featured orange dahlia, roses, coxcomb, pin cushion protea and Chinese lanterns.  The largest bowl was wrapped along the interior with a variegated calathea leaf and held a mix of orange flowers; the two smaller bowls held a swirl of bear grass on the inside topped with a monobotanic design of orange flowers. For the rectangle tables, the three round vases were accompanied by a set of three glass bottle-style vases of varying heights, each holding an elegant stem of orange Chinese lanterns in a kind of rustic-meets-modern twist. The cake was accented with orange pom pom dahlia strategically placed on each of the tiers.  This cake makes us swoon.  The topper is just so adorable.

 

We loved the challenge the design for this vibrant Oxon Hill Manor wedding presented. What a rich reward in color and texture!
