Here is a sneak peek from the wedding we did at Love Point recently – which is a new venue right on the other side of the bride!

Stay tuned and have a great weekend!

We had a beautiful wedding out in St. Michael’s a couple of weeks ago.  The venue was Kirkland Manor and we were able to really customize as much as possible with the decor.  We just loved this archway on the property and spruced it up with flowers everywhere for the ceremony.

We used our hanging mason jars with white stock, dahlias and snapdragons and tied off with a burlap wrap for the aisle.

Here is the beautiful bride Amanda!  I can’t wait for the professional photos to come in as there were so many beautiful places to take photos at this venue.  Her bridal bouquet was made of garden roses, ranunculus, lisianthus, dahlias and astilbe.

Stay tuned for more tomorrow!

I am still waiting on the professional photos from my trip to Minnesota for Jennifer’s wedding day!  But I thought I would do a second installment in the meantime with some of the photos I took of the flowers that I made for her.  Above is Jennifer’s bridal bouquet with vendela cream roses, white phaleanopsis orchids, white hypericum berries, white freesia with a few ranunculus tucked in there with peacock feather accents!

Waylon, Jennifer’s gorgeous groom, donned a lapel with local greenery, a peacock feather and green hypericum berries (it was pretty windy that day)!

The bridesmaids held such fun bouquets with folded aspidistra leaves, eucalyptus, emerald roses, belles of Ireland, hypericum berries and a peacock feather accent.

Then – here finally – the groomsmen lapels…loved them.  All the peacock feathers came from Waylon’s family farm!  Love it!

Stay tuned for more!

While I don’t have the professional photos back, here is Jessica Piscitelli’s pretty bridal bouquet we did for her wedding a few weeks ago!  Jessica is one of our favorite wedding videographers and I was so excited to do her wedding flowers.  Even though I had to travel for her wedding day – I was still able to get her bridal bouquet done before I left!  Her bouquet was comprised of local green/blue hydrangea, delphinium, lavender, rosemary and dahlias.

Congrats to Jessica and Bart!!!

Here are the fun details from Tina and Chris’ wedding this summer!  Tina started the day at the Mandarin Oriental.  Right after getting ready, Tom from Documentary Associates took some stunning photos in her suite!

We made her beautiful bridal bouquet with green cymbidium orchids, scabiosa pods, seeded eucalyptus, white lisianthus, green hypericum berries, succulents, emerald green roses, lily grass with a few feather accents.

Chris + Tina – pronounced man and wife at Top of the Town!!!

Tina and Chris opted for a fun travel theme for their wedding.  Starting with programs shaped like passports and escort cards like airline tickets!  They also asked the guests to pin on a map where they have been.  The tall centerpieces were created with submerged cymbidium orchids and manzanita branches with hanging votives and orchids attached to them.  The beautiful cake was designed by Cakes by Linda.

Congrats to Chris and Tina – we are so happy we could be a part of your day!!!

We are excited to showcase a few photos from Julia and Taylor’s wedding from June.  Above, Julia walks her way to the ceremony at the Netherlands Carillon lawn (near the Iwo Jima Memorial).

You may recall  the post we did earlier on their floral designs, but here is Julia and her proud father!  We had such a wonderful time planning this wedding as Julia’s mother is a very good friend of my mother!

One of the reasons we love weddings at the Netherlands Carillon is the amazing view!  We made this trellis and adorned it with pretty garland, delphinium and lisianthus accents.

Here we have the escort card table arrangement complete with apples and belles of Ireland.  Then the pretty blue centerpieces we made with hydrangea, peonies and delphinium.

Congrats to Julia and Taylor!!!

Continuing from last week’s post…here are more details from the pretty in pink wedding we did earlier this month at the Decatur House!  We showcased the beautiful and fun bridesmaid bouquet last week with the limes…Above is the bridal bouquet with pink peonies, white freesia and green hypericum berries.

Main Event Caterers brought these great ottomans in to have a fun lounge feel inside the carriage house!

We used rich colors in the altar arrangements with these pink and green hydrangea and pink peony mixture.

We loved this fresh look with pink hydrangea and pink peonies with pears inside the vase!

This pretty and simple cake was brought in by Main Event Caterers from Fancy Cakes by Leslie!

Congrats to Jane and Michael for the beautiful wedding day at the Decatur House!

Here is the final installment from the gorgeous wedding at Thorpewood a couple of weekend’s ago!  We have tons of these milk bottles, mason jars and milk glass for rental.  Some of these were actually from Mary Kate’s wedding at Thorpewood last year!  We used a combination of green hydrangea, white delphinium, spider mums, rosemary, lavender and rice flowers in the vases for these particular tables.

On the other tables we had our signature manzanita boxes (available for rent and can be used with flowers or hanging votives, etc.) with white dendrobium orchids attached to the branches.  Perfect for Thorpewood!

We loved the bridal bouquet!  A free-flowing bouquet with parrot tulips, bupleurum, rosemary, lavender, blue delphinium with green and white ranunculus!

Bride’s bouquet was accompanied by the groom boutonniere comprised of rosemary and lavender with hemp finish.

Congrats to the bride and groom!

Thanks to Mary Kate McKenna for these gorgeous images!

We had such a beautiful wedding this past weekend at Halcyon House.  I am waiting for the photographer to send me better photos as these were taken by me (not bad if I say so myself)!  The bride’s bouquet was made with phaleanopsis orchids, white lisianthus, white garden roses and white mini calla lilies.

We had very simple boutonnieres and corsages for their wedding with lisianthus for the mothers and the ushers/fathers and a phaleanopsis orchid for the groom!

Here is a close up of one of the arrangements with lisianthus and garden roses.  This was from a simple ceremony table.  Can’t wait to show you the reception decor!

Stay Tuned!

Ahhh – Nicole…I will never forget when you whipped out that photo of your dress when you came to my studio. It was love (for me) at first sight!!  I wanted your blue dress on my blog and now – here it is baby!

Nicole had tons of dried purple, green and blue hydrangea from her mother’s backyard for us to use!  It meant a ton to her for us to use them as we added other fresh, local and sustainable flowers into the mix!  This incredible fall bouquet worked beautifully with her gorgeous blue gown.  Her bouquet was comprised of burgundy dahlias, link pink ranunculus, scabiosa pods, astrantia with hints of the dried hydrangea.

Jeffrey wore such a handsome suit and we created a matching boutonniere comprised of a single burgundy dahlia and florets of the dried green hydrangea.

The centerpieces were comprised of dried hydrangea, dahlias and roses which were set off beautifully on those chocolate pin-tuck linens!  YUM!

Congrats to Nicole + Jeffrey on such a beautiful eco-friendly wedding!  Stay tuned for more images in our featured weddings section of the website!

We are excited to finally showcase Melanie and Michael’s wedding from June at Woodend Sanctuary.  As many of you know – it is one of my favorite locations in the entire Washington, DC area.

We helped Melanie and Michael with a partial planning package along with all of her flowers and decor.  Her bridal bouquet was comprised of lavender and white mini calla lilies with light blue delphinium and fresh lavender accents.

They kept the ceremony pretty simple and added a touch of whimsy with these adorable purple, lavender and white carnation pomanders – which we reused on the back of the chairs at the head table during the reception.

Their centerpieces had luscious local purple hydrangea with lavender vanda orchids.

Melanie had so much fun picking out their candy for the candy bar!  She did not stick to a color theme – she stuck to the candies that both her and Michael loved!

Congratulations Melanie and Michael!

And thanks to Martha Fitzsimon for all the beautiful photos!
