Vintage Spring River Farm Wedding

Vintage Spring River Farm Wedding

It’s always fun when one of our weddings lands on the cover of Washingtonian Bride & Groom magazine! We have some lovely outdoor spots in Alexandria for a wedding reception, but none more lovely than the classically styled house and garden that serves as the headquarters for the American Horticultural Society. Meghan and Adam’s vintage River Farm wedding ceremony took place at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, followed by a reception at garden venue.  For her color palette, the bride chose pale pinks and whites, with a loose, vintage look.  For the bouquets, simplicity was the key.  White and pink peonies, accented with trailing jasmine vine made up the striking bridal bouquet, with simple white ranunculus for the bridesmaids bouquets.

The vintage River Farm wedding reception featured composite arrangements using our eclectic collection of mercury and milk glass containers. Flowers were loose and elegant, with a textured rustic and vintage feel.  Flowers included ranunculus, Queen Anne’s lace, spray roses, hydrangea, ivy, peonies and stock in shades of pink and white with accents of green.  The decor even included a unique magnolia garland, strung between the bride and groom’s chair, but with a secret separation so that the newlyweds appeared to share a chair all night!

A rooftop celebration that proves timeless can still be bold. For Elaine & Trey’s wedding at Capitol View at 400, we leaned into classic green and white, but elevated it with sculptural greenery installations, gold Harlow stands, and skyline views that stretched for miles. A ceiling of foliage softened the tented space, while sleek black bridesmaid dresses added contrast and edge. Clean, refined, and impossibly romantic.

It’s Bike to Work Day — and while we usually pedal toward petals, we couldn’t resist sharing this creative twist from Elle & Bryan, one of our couples who wheeled their love of cycling straight into the ceremony. 🚲✨ 

Elle & Bryan’s wedding at Dumbarton House was full of charm, personal touches, and one especially fun nod to their love of cycling. Bicycle wheels became sculptural backdrops, proving that when it comes to personal touches, there’s no such thing as too niche.

Designing florals around unexpected objects? That’s our lane. And yes — it was all uphill in the best possible way.
