Woodend Sanctuary Wedding

Woodend Sanctuary in Chevy Chase, MD can only be described as enchanting. And equally so for of Hannah and Nick’s wedding! Our childhood sweethearts lucked out with the most perfect October weather, as they held their Woodend Sanctuary wedding ceremony in the wooded grove with reception to follow in the elegant tent. This Woodend Sanctuary wedding in classic white and green featured a textured nod to fall with rich foliage and berries amidst the mix of classic white botanicals.

With the wildflower meadow acting as a backdrop to the beautiful grove, and a stunning classic palette of whites and greens, it made for a picture-perfect ceremony. A wood-stained chuppah acted as the ceremony focal point, with asymmetrical floral pieces framing the couple on the upper left and right sides of the structure. Simple and stunning.

The couple carried the classic theme throughout their entire day. The wedding party carried the most lush and textured bouquets. Hannah’s bouquet included white and ivory garden roses, lisianthus, spray roses, ranunculus and even white hypericum berries finished with eucalyptus and acacia foliages. The classic floral palette mixed with a range of textures was perfect for a Woodend wedding in white and green. Her bridesmaids, wearing burgundy gowns, held smaller bouquets with a complementary floral palette.

Once guests filtered towards the tend following the ceremony, they found an intimate setting for dinner and dancing. The centerpieces included lush floral in gold compotes with classic green and white floral arrangements. An elegant eucalyptus garland extended the length of the head table. Everything flowed together seamlessly and cohesively even with the subtle variation of centerpieces.

A tented reception. Ceremony urns overflowing with white hydrangea and gladiola. Centerpieces that looked like they were plucked straight from an English country garden. Rachael and Scott`s Woodlawn wedding was everything. 🤍 This is exactly why we love what we do, taking a venue`s natural beauty and letting the flowers just... amplify it. Historic, romantic, and completely unforgettable. 🌿✨⁣

Theres something about September that always feels like a turning point. The days are still warm, but the morning is a bit cooler. School is back in session. The light starts to change. And after a long DC summer, you do all get that first day when you can open the door and think, yes, fall really is coming. 🍁

For me fall has always been tied to the rhythm of the school year. Kids going back to school and calendars filling up. Pulling sweaters out of the back of the closet, and thinking about Halloween before you’re quite ready to admit summer is over.

In the studio, autumn has another rhythm. September and October weddings - arguably our busiest time of the year - paired with all sorts of fun things. Pods, berries, grasses and all sorts of funky things.

I think there’s a reason fall weddings always feel so right. It’s a season built around change. The landscape shifts, the light softens, the year begins winding down… and in the midst of that, two people choose to begin something.

Maybe that’s what I love about this time of year. Autumn can feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. So here’s to another fall wedding season, changing leaves, cooler nights (no mosquitoes), celebrations and all the new beginnings still ahead.

Amy & Reuben’s wedding photos are here, and I forgot how much I loved this palette! White flowers, loads of green, and black woven through just enough to make everything feel a little sharper.⁣

We used anemones, ranunculus, roses, sweet pea and stock, with big, loose greenery moments throughout the room. It was springy without being pastel, classic without feeling too traditional, and so much fun to see all together at the Park Hyatt.⁣
⁣
Also, that bouquet. 🤍🖤⁣

Classic roses. Ethereal baby’s breath. And bleached ruscus for some fashion forward style. Classic with an edge.
