Wedding at Daughters of the American Revolution

Brides share kiss on steps of Daughters of the American Revolution on wedding day

A wedding at the Daughters of the American Revolution headquarters is hard to beat for that class vibe, especially when peonies are involved! Our sweet brides – yes, brides, plural! – wanted a romantic scheme of whites with small touches of pink, with peonies a must have. It helped that Kristi and Robyn completely trust our vision. And as a result, it is on of our favorite weddings at the O’Byrne Gallery at DAR headquarters. The timeless garden aesthetic reflected the best of spring. Kristi and Robyn each carried elegant bouquets in a timeless palette of whites and greens. White peonies, roses, spray roses and lisianthus were arranged with Italian ruscus and wrapped in ivory double-faced satin ribbon in a criss-cross design. The bridesmaids’ bouquets featured roses, stock, lisianthus and Italian ruscus in a complementary style.

Ceremony on the Portico

Ceremonies at the Daughters of the American Revolution building, also known as DAR, is one of those things where less is more. With the Washington monument in the distance, you don’t want to block the view! Two classic gold urns held lush, garden designs of hydrangea, stock, roses and spray roses, and lisianthus in shades of white and ivory with the palest blush pink were finished with eucalyptus and lemon leaf foliage.

Classic Summer Reception

At the reception, the bouquets did double-duty, standing at attention on the DAR’s gorgeous fireplace! Simple gold mercury compotes grades the tables. Lush and textured designs of white orlaya, ivory and pale pink roses, ivory spray roses, white stock, and white lisianthus spilled from the bowls, finished with variegated pitt nigra, Italian ruscus foliage and wisps of green sword fern. Twinkling light from adjacent candles added to the romantic effect.

We truly appreciate the opportunity to help create Kristi and Robyn’s exquisite wedding at the Daughters of the American Revolution

celebration. Congratulations!

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
