Vintage Hendry House Wedding

Vintage Hendry House Wedding

Though rustic in detail, elegance perfect describes Lisa and Tim’s vintage Hendry House wedding, a charming property in Arlington.  Using a palette of whites, golds, and blush pinks, the wedding featured loose, textured designs of garden flowers with quirky touches like painted cans for the centerpieces. Rustic cans were painted in a variety of metallic shades. Lisa carried an elegant bouquet of white peonies, ranunculus, lisianthus and stock, blush garden roses, and dusty miler with wild touches of jasmine vine to capture a rustic looseness. Her fiancé’s boutonniere complemented with a white ranunculus blossom. To contrast with their navy dresses, the bridesmaids’ held garden bouquets of roses, ranunculus, spray roses, sweet pea and stock in varying shades of pink finished with dusty miller.

The ceremony took place in front of the grand, wisteria vine-covered arch at the site. Two large, floor-standing urns flanked the ceremony, each filled with a classic design of hydrangea, roses, stock, spray roses, lisianthus, Queen Anne’s lace, and hanging amaranthus in whites, pinks and greens – a style befitting the vintage Hendry House wedding. Gold painted cans hung from the chairs on both sides of the aisle, with additional cans hung on shepherd hooks lining the path to the ceremony.

One of the more striking and different elements of the wedding, a bed of baby’s breath was created to hold the escort cards. Loose, rustic designs in pink and white were placed in painted cans, ranging in size from a tomato paste can to a coffee can. The cans were a perfect complement to the vintage Hendry House wedding style. Ranunculus, roses, Queen Anne’s lace and hanging amaranthus were the perfect loose blooms.

The 2026 Folger Gala had a vision for an event that was described by words like opulent Regency, peacock feathers, trailing plants, still life, Bridgerton. The linen choices were vibrant, full of pattern, and eclectic. We designed their arrangements with movement, color, texture and flower choices that worked with lighting for a truly incredible event. 

Never underestimate the power of color and texture to make a big statement.

Elaine & Trey were originally supposed to be married in 2020. Like so many couples, they had to postpone.

On the eve of what would have been their originally planned wedding day, Elaine’s bridesmaids reached out with the sweetest idea: send her flowers along with a note reminding her that her celebration was still ahead. Instead of creating a random arrangement, we decided to surprise her with something even more meaningful: a preview of her wedding flowers. Specifically, a sample of what her reception centerpieces would look like.

I still remember walking up to her front door. It was painted the most beautiful shade of green, and I remember thinking, “Of course it is.” Somehow it fit her perfectly. You pick up on little things like that when you spend your life getting to know couples.

A little while later, Elaine reached out. While she had no idea what we’d done, she simply said she’d just received flowers, and they were EXACTLY what she’d always imagined for her wedding.

People often assume wedding flower consultations are about scrolling through Pinterest or recreating someone else’s designs. For me, they’re about listening.

Over the years, I’ve learned to hear not just what couples say, but what they mean. To recognize when a single word holds an entire vision that hasn’t quite found its language yet. My job isn’t simply to copy inspiration photos (but we’re good at that, too). It’s to translate hopes, personalities, and half-formed ideas into flowers that feel unmistakably them.

Sometimes, that means getting it exactly right before they’ve ever seen a single bloom
