The Willard Hotel has a rich, 200-year history and is a true landmark in Washington, DC. This is not the first wedding we have blogged about at this location, as it is one of our favorite wedding spots. Last summer, our lovely couple tied the knot at this landmark venue, and we could not have been more excited to create a classic Willard Hotel wedding in classic blue.
The bride’s bouquet featured tighter cream floral blooms – roses, spray roses, and lisianthus – with light layers of snow on the mountain and Italian ruscus foliage. Her bridesmaids carried petite versions of her bouquet accented with blue delphinium.
A beautiful sanctuary in it’s own right, Holy Trinity was dressed with just a touch of floral decor to make it personal. Pew posies on either side of the aisle featured cascades of ivy foliage with white open rose clusters. The altar featured two large white urns with compacted round arrangements to anchor the ceremony area. White roses, hydrangea, and stock were finished with accents of lush greenery for texture.
Guests were welcomed to the Grand Ballroom to candlelight on each of the round tables. The first look featured a collection of three petite glass vessels with fluffy white and blue blooms and greenery anchored with pale blue taper candles and votives to make a full tablescape. The second design featured an elevated design atop a clear glass pilsner vase. The tall centerpiece was composed of white and blue florals, drawing the eye to the arching ceilings of the space. A stunning blue scalloped base plate and blue menu card finished the table.
