Vintage Mount Vernon Inn Wedding

Vintage Mount Vernon Inn Wedding

So what photos won’t show you from this delightful vintage Mount Vernon Inn wedding is that it took place on a THURSDAY! Surrounded by an intimate grouping of friends and family, Bettie and Jacob recited their vows and celebrated their union at the historic Mt. Vernon Inn in the middle of the week.

Embracing the colonial flair of the site, Bettie and Jacob chose a romantic scheme of champagnes, pinks, and natural and unstructured touches of green for the vintage Mount Vernon Inn wedding. Bettie carried a bouquet of champagne Sahara and Quicksand roses accents with light pink astilbe, stock, and loose wisps of jasmine vine, while Jacob’s boutonniere matched with a similar clutch of flowers. Small touches of ivory spray roses graced her hair. The bridesmaids carried ivory roses and stock accented with jasmine vine, the perfect contrast to their diaphanous, blush pink dresses.

The ceremony took place under the tent on the back patio of the site. It was truly the most perfect spring day – all the more shocking with how peculiar our DC spring weather has been! The couple was flanked by two lush urn designs of light pink hydrangea, astilbe, stock, champagne and ivory roses finished with lemon leaf and draping touches of jasmine vine.

Bettie and Jacob had collected an assortment of teapots for their centerpieces, providing a personal touch to the reception. Each teapot was filled with a garden mix of light pink and champagne flowers accented with green. The hydrangea, roses, lisianthus, ranunculus, astilbe and stock looked perfectly at home in the eclectic mix of containers. The ceremony arrangements were brought into the ballroom for the reception and framed the cake.

It was a special treat for us to also be able to provide day of coordination for the event. With Bettie finishing up her graduate degree in North Carolina while Jacob started a new business here in the DC area, it was wonderful to be able to lend our logistical skills to help see the couple through their day. Congratulations Bettie and Jacob on their vintage Mount Vernon Inn wedding.

Before the installations. Before the ballroom glow. There’s this - buckets, stems, the quiet rhythm of preparation.

Amanda & Jack’s Woodend wedding drew its inspiration from a William Morris print - lush, romantic, and rooted in nature. The florals carried that spirit through every detail: moss runners lined the tables, dotted with petite brown bottles of chamomile, blush spray roses, and wisps of greenery that felt as if they had grown there overnight. Cloche domes held tiny blooms like keepsakes. Brass animals cradled florals as though part of the garden itself, a perfect nod to the nature sanctuary venue. (Which ones can you find?) Even the greenery-lined staircase framing the cake echoed the same story. Every bloom was chosen for texture and movement, bringing that painterly, botanical world to life in three dimensions.
