Vintage Travel Wedding

Vintage Travel Wedding

Catherine and Walter’s vintage travel wedding was originally planned to take place in late January, but that fateful blizzard put the best laid plans to waste. Not to fear! The festivities were rescheduled for April – and as you can see by these photos, everything turned out equally as lovely. The couple chose a vintage travel wedding theme, an homage to how they met. Burned out at work, Catherine chose a trip to Costa Rica, where she met Walter. They met amongst a group at a local bar, and after a group hike from the bar, they knew they’d forged a lifelong link.

Catherine carried a bouquet in classic, textured whites – peonies, lilac, ranunculus, freesia, orchids, and garden roses accented with seeded eucalyptus and camellia foliage finished with long, trailing ribbons in gold, ivory and green. The bridesmaids carried simpler versions of the bridal bouquet.

The ceremony took place at Alexandria’s Lyceum. Two lush green designs of mixed foliages flanked the couple, a mix of camellia, myrtle, ivy, jasmine vine, and hanging amaranthus accented with white larkspur and astilbe.

The reception took place at the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Sumptuous linens in gold and green featured a mix of table designs. Half the round tables featured a gold cathedral candlestick topped with a design of lush, mixed green foliages – loose and organic in feel. Gold footed bowls held romantic designs of hydrangea, stock, lilac, roses and ranunculus in classic whites with hints of light pink astilbe and sweet pea.

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea!

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance
