Winery-Inspired St Francis Hall Wedding

Winery-Inspired St Francis Hall Wedding

We must confess. We fall in love with our couples as much as we do with the designs we work together to create with them. Sasha had a grand, winery-inspired St Francis Hall wedding – modern and elegant, classic to the core, with rustic winery-inspired touches throughout. Blending those elements proved stunning. Love, love, LOVE! Sasha’s bouquet featured the simple and clean modern lines of burgundy cymbidium orchids, eggplant mini-calla lilies, and ivory roses finished with curly willow branches vining lightly around the perimeter of the bouquet for a rustic touch to evoke the feel of a winery. Burgundy cymbidium orchids graced her hair. The bridesmaids carried lush bouquets of ivory and pale pink roses, burgundy cymbidiums, and burgundy mini-calla lilies finished with earthy touches of scabiosa pods and seeded eucalyptus.

The ceremony took place at Holy Comforter Church. We love how gleefully happy they look. As guests arrived at the winery-inspired St Francis Hall wedding, they were greeted with an elegant, handblown glass vase filled with wine corks! You would not believe how many wine corks there were! (Special thanks to Fibre Space who put us in touch with La Fromagerie. It’s great to have friends in our Old Town business community.) The vase was topped with a dramatic design of red antique hydrangea, red orchids, Black Magic and Quicksand roses, and burgundy spray roses finished with burgundy hanging amaranthus and seeded eucalyptus foliage. The reception alternated between elegant tall and low designs in rich shades of wine and champagne.

Tall designs were elevated on an elegant, old world-styled cathedral candlestick, each holding classic designs of hydrangea, roses, spray roses finished with burgundy hanging amaranthus and seeded eucalyptus, the hues alternating between deep rich burgundies and champagnes – fitting for a winery-inspired St Francis Hall Wedding. A small, wooden wine crates held the low designs, each arrangement featuring roses, hydrangea, dahlia, callas, and spray roses finished with rustic accents of kiwi vine. A dramatic cascade of wedding flowers proceeded down one side of the cake.

It’s Bike to Work Day — and while we usually pedal toward petals, we couldn’t resist sharing this creative twist from Elle & Bryan, one of our couples who wheeled their love of cycling straight into the ceremony. 🚲✨

Elle & Bryan’s wedding at Dumbarton House was full of charm, personal touches, and one especially fun nod to their love of cycling. Bicycle wheels became sculptural backdrops, proving that when it comes to personal touches, there’s no such thing as too niche.

Designing florals around unexpected objects? That’s our lane. And yes — it was all uphill in the best possible way.

A night of mystery and masquerade — and the perfect way to fête the 10th anniversary of The Scout Guide Alexandria and the launch of Vol. 10! ✨

We loved adding our signature touch of floral drama to this year’s launch party at the Hotel Heron. From a moody and dramatic entrance piece to a flower-filled car, sculptural arrangements on cocktail tables and elevated bar arrangements casting feathered shadows and moody textures, this event let us play in a world of whimsy and wonder.

We’re proud to be part of a guide that champions small businesses and celebrates creativity in our community. Supporting local means investing in the makers, doers, and dreamers who make Alexandria vibrant — and The Scout Guide does just that, beautifully. Cheers to Vol. 10! Special thanks to Sarah and Claire for always being so supportive and encouraging.
