A Romantic Garden Soirée at Larz Anderson House: M+B’s Luxurious Wedding in Washington, DC
Washington, DC, is home to some of the most beautiful venues for capturing luxury weddings, but few are as enchanting as the Larz Anderson House. Steeped in European elegance and charm, this stunning historic location was the backdrop for M+B’s breathtaking wedding day—a romantic garden soirée that perfectly blended the timeless beauty of the venue with vibrant floral designs, intimate moments, and sophisticated details.
A Floral Extravaganza: Dramatic Floral Arch & Flower Market Display
When it comes to luxury weddings, floral design can make or break the atmosphere, and M+B’s floral arrangements were nothing short of spectacular. From the moment guests arrived, they were greeted by a dramatic floral arch at the entrance—a stunning display of lush blooms in bright, juicy hues that also served as the perfect backdrop for wedding party and couples portraits. The arch, skillfully crafted by the incredible Sophie Felts team , created a picture-perfect entrance that set the tone for the rest of the celebration. The vibrant colors and fragrant blooms seemed to transport everyone to a European flower garden, with the luxurious venue providing the ideal setting for such an extravagant floral statement.
Inside, the couple took their inspiration even further with a floral escort display that resembled a bustling European flower market. Guests meandered through a collection of artisanal floral arrangements, each thoughtfully placed as part of the escort card display. This charming, whimsical touch added a sense of wonder and romance to the day, and it was a favorite detail for both the couple and their guests.
Intimate Moments, Timeless Memories
M+B’s wedding day was about more than just the flowers and the venue—it was about the intimate moments that made the day so special. M+B exchanged their first look in the front of Anderson House, reading cards that they wrote to one another simultaneously.
