Westin Georgetown Wedding

Westin Georgetown Wedding

Summers in DC can get steamy, which makes for a difficult decision when the bride and groom want an outdoor wedding but also don’t want to sweat the small stuff! Enter the perfect idea: bring the outdoors in. Alex and Ryan’s garden wedding actually took place inside, but you’d never know it from the lush greenery and garden flowers decorating the Promenade for the Westin Georgetown wedding.

Alex’ bouquet was a picture of romance, with blush garden roses, loose tendrils of jasmine vine and the most luscious, blush Cafe au Lait dahlia. The similar floral palette was perfect against the blush bridesmaid dresses.

A romantic mirrored sign greeted guests for the ceremony, with eucalyptus and flowers adding a soft, romantic touch. The candle-lined aisle drew guests to the altar, where two lush urns flanked the ceremony for the Westin Georgetown wedding ceremony.

Garlands are so perfect for a garden aesthetic, and each of the long tables featured these rows of greenery accented with flowers in blush and cream hues, further finished with candles along the length of the table. Round tables featured a low compote filled to overflowing with romantic hydrangea, roses, Queen Anne’s lace and more. Creating a striking focal point for the Westin Georgetown wedding reception was an elevated piece that framed the couple along the head table.

Oh how we love a room shot…

Don’t get us wrong! Give us all the delicious little flower close-ups. We want to see every ruffly petal and perfect place setting.

But then BACK UP!

Because this is the moment we’ve been thinking about all along. How do those centerpieces fill the room? Where does your eye go first? Do the tall pieces actually feel tall beneath a 20-foot ceiling?

Does the whole thing have rhythm?

Seeing all of those individual pieces finally come together into one beautiful room never, ever gets old.

Twenty-plus years in and we still get a little giddy about it.

Some venues need flowers that make a statement. Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is all about atmosphere.⁣

The exposed brick, warm lighting, and intimate scale already bring so much character to the space, so we leaned into layered candlelight, soft movement, and garden inspired flowers that felt romantic without overpowering the architecture.⁣

September, we’ve missed you!

September weddings get to have it both way: Summer flowers are still hanging around. Dahlias are at their absolute BEST. And little hints of fall start making their way into our buckets.

This is the month we start getting excited about foliage again. Berries, branches, grasses, pods, vines - all those slightly weird botanical things that make an arrangement more interesting!

Hello again, September!!
