To start the wedding planning process, one of the questions we ask an engaged couple is why they chose to celebrate their marriage in the way in which they envisioned. Our clients expressed that they wanted their wedding to be very intentional; that while their immediate families were small, their chosen family filled with friends is quite large. That concept drove the decisions our clients made. in Washington, DC. – fit for a wedding reception.

The wedding invitations from Minted set the tone with sorbet colored hues with a modern sensibility.
This hand embroidered handkerchief from the bride to her Mom was a sentimental touch.
Can we have a moment for this whole look please? A modern vintage vibe with the bride’s gown by Alexandra Grecco from Lovely Bride DC, with earrings by Mejuri from Something Borrowed Bridal. A gorgeous bouquet of poppies in orange, peach and white; with lavender and apricot Japanese Sweet Peas, peach buttery Ranunculus, bright red Tulips, and lavender Lilac from Petals and Promises finished the whole look.
These accessories put the finishing touches on this bridal look with gloves from Kerry Parker
and this beaded and feather clutch from Cult Gaia
Loved this mother, daughter duo!
Two lovely people deserved this gorgeous day for the wedding ceremony in the gardens of Meridian House.
As a fellow cat mom, I appreciate signature cocktails named after the couple’s cats.
In the library, we had two long kings tables for dinner.
Each of the kings tables had a collection of modern bud vase trios of bright Poppies running down the center flanked by Ikebana style designs of lavender and peach Sweet Peas with red reflexed Tulips. Adding colorful tapered candles, we created a cheerful tablescape.
In the Drawing Room, we designed a similar layout with two long, kings table.
The bridesmaids’ bouquets did double duty and were reused as part of the floral centerpiece arrangements on the dinner tables.
Let’s have yet another moment for the bride’s beaded party dress by Karen Millen. It was even more fabulous in person.
