Virginia Garden Wedding at River Farm

Melissa and Greg’s perfectly Virginia garden wedding at River Farm featured pink and gray details that were carried through perfectly with spring pink flowers, gray succulents, and milk glass and mercury glass containers that perfectly suited the blooming cherry blossoms and the charm of River Farm. It was a garden affair full of so many beautiful moments; kissing under blossoming cherry trees, fur babies mixed into the festivities and all with a layer of crazy gorgeous florals.

April is the perfect time for a wedding in the Washington, DC area, since the weather is just that little bit cooler and gorgeous spring blooms abound. Melissa and Greg began their day with a ceremony at historic St. Mary’s in Old Town Alexandria. The Virginia garden wedding reception was just a short drive down the road to River Farm, also home to the American Horticultural Society. What better venue for a garden wedding! River Farm is especially stunning in the spring, with it’s blooming garden sand beautiful views of the Potomac.

The palette embraced soft pinks, champagne, and grays for a spring look. The groom and groomsmen wore grey suits and ties for a classic look. The flowers looked just picked from the garden, with textures created by hydrangea, roses, peonies, ranunculus and succulents for a touch of whimsy. A vintage vibe was created with lace overlays and milk glass and mercury glass vessels.

We’re never one to shy away from a floral moment—and at a venue like Congressional Country Club, the stakes (and the ceilings) are high. For Rebecca & Richard`s celebration, we played up the grandeur of the space with towering centerpieces and sprawling greenery that brought movement and life to each table. A timeless green-and-white palette with layers of texture gave this classic ballroom a fresh, organic twist. ⁣

Sun-drenched florals, bold texture, and one unforgettable chuppah moment.

For Aliza & Alex’s summer celebration at Oxon Hill Manor, we went full color-forward. Coral peonies were the undeniable star. Paired with wildflower-inspired details like daisies, snapdragons, freesia, and even herbs, the floral design struck that perfect balance between luxe and lighthearted.

From the birch pole chuppah trailing with blooms to vibrant, garden-style centerpieces, this tented affair radiated joyful energy - proof that color can absolutely be elevated!

Towering magnolia branches brought winter warmth and botanical drama to Aurora & Anil’s wedding at the Park Hyatt. With sculptural centerpieces and lush magnolia runners lining the long tables, this celebration proved that winter weddings can be rich in texture and full of life, no evergreen or holly required! ✨ ⁣

A ceremony space that proves minimal can still be magical. 🌿✨

Amanda & Matthew exchanged vows beneath a ceiling accented with smilax and twinkle lights, and a backdrop of Italian ruscus. Two wine barrels grounded the scene, each topped with loose, organic arrangements in soft winter whites and lush greens—perfectly at home in this modern winery space.

Simple. Airy. Effortlessly romantic. Just how we like it.

For Kim & Andrew’s wedding at the Hotel Monaco, we transformed the band backdrop into a statement moment - because if it’s going to end up in half your reception photos, it might as well steal the show! Cascading clouds of gypsophila and sparkling disco balls made sure the party looked as good as it felt.⁣

A little disco, a little drama, and a whole lot of fun. ✨ The band backdrop ends up in so many of your wedding reception photos, why not make a statement with it?⁣

When the setting is this charming and the florals this lush, magic is bound to happen. ✨

Rachael & Scott tied the knot at the historic Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House, where the garden-style ceremony was filled with elegance, emotion, and a gentle breeze of fall romance.

Their floral story? Creamy Café au Lait dahlias, textural greens, and dramatic touches of burgundy brought a wild-yet-refined feel to the day. From loose bouquets scented with eucalyptus to floral-filled urns and centerpieces that felt freshly gathered from an autumn garden, every detail whispered elegance.

This is fall wedding season in full bloom, and we loved every petal of it!
