Intimate Wedding at The George

Wedding at The George

The George of Old Town is a fully renovated historic home in Old Town Alexandria. Once belonging to George Washington, the house is available for rent, making it a stunning option for your “intimate day”. A beautiful entryway, staircase, stylishly appointed rooms, and a back patio make it a lovely choice for a small wedding at The George – especially with room for all of your nearest and dearest to stay as well. Sharing our recent late summer wedding at The George today!

Carine & Justin’s Wedding

Getting married in the midst of a pandemic is not easy, but by following local guidelines and reducing guest counts, Carine and Justin’s wedding at The George was as magical as any. As guests arrived for the intimate ceremony, the back of the aisle featured a design full of lush cream and mauve blooms making for a grand entrance to the intimate space. The palette for the wedding was a unique combination, perfect for late summer. The floral palette featured Cafe au Lait dahlia, Purple Moon and Amnesia roses, delicate smokebush, pampas grass and lots of eucalyptus and olive leaf foliages. Carine’s bouquet featured creamy white dahlia and garden roses accented with Cafe au Lait, while Justin wore the most simple and elegant boutonniere of olive leaf foliage. The ceremony itself was set with a lush, deconstructed arch flanking the wooden gate in the brick-enclosed patio. Lemon leaf, ruscus, smokebush and olive leaf were finished with white and mauve roses and spray roses, with pampas grass plumes creating a dramatic finish to the design.

Industrial architecture and romantic flowers will forever be one of our favorite combinations.⁣

For Sarah & Erkan`s wedding at Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, we paired lush garden textures in muted pastel hues to soften up the brick and steel interiors throughout the reception space. The result felt intimate and quietly luxurious in all the right ways.⁣
⁣
This venue is such a dream for couples who want something moodier and more architectural than a traditional ballroom wedding.⁣

Natural. Timeless. Elegant. Soft. Romantic.⁣

When Annemarie described her vision, we knew exactly the world we wanted to build around her. This September, she and Cooper were wed at the stunning Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House in Alexandria, surrounded by lush greens, white blossoms, and the warmth of copper and gold woven throughout every detail.⁣
From her abundant dahlia and rose bouquet to the organic arch installations and candlelit reception tent, every element told one continuous, intentional story.⁣

Designing flowers for St. Francis Hall always begins with scale. The ceilings are high, the stone walls are bold, and delicate arrangements can quickly disappear if they are not designed with the room in mind.⁣
⁣
For Monica & Dave’s wedding, we leaned into that height with tall arrangements that lifted the eye upward while still keeping the tables welcoming for guests. Soft white and green flowers created a romantic feeling against the historic architecture, while the elevated designs helped the entire room feel balanced. When the proportions are right, the flowers do not fight the space. They belong in it.⁣
