This romantic wedding at Ritz-Carlton Washington DC brought the wow factor! Designed by Sam Crew of Simply Chic Events, the centerpiece of the reception space was a stunning head table flanked by dramatic florals courtesy of Sophie Felts. The overgrown look of the floral installations placed along both sides of the head table gave the effect of entering a secret garden. Complete with lots (like a lot a lot!) of red roses, the result was both luxe and romantic.
A mix of chairs was used throughout the ballroom, but our Roux Chairs took center stage at the couple’s dramatic head table. The natural wood frame and linen upholstery of the Roux went perfectly with crisp white lace tablecloths. Tables were topped with touches of gold, more amazing arrangements by Sophie Felts, and lots of pillar candles in keeping with the couple’s dreamy, romantic vibe.
This head table was one for the books! To achieve this look, rectangular tables were set up in one long row. A large pergola encased the tables, and Sophie Felts added dramatic floral installations to create this tunnel-like effect. Pergolas are a great way to draw attention to a specific design element, and we love seeing clients incorporate big statement pieces like this into their event design! Pergolas make a great base for florals, but can be gorgeous on their own as well. Our Wyn White Chuppah is most similar to the pergola pictured here, but our Crew 28′ 3-Section Natural Wood Pergola is our go-to for creating a dramatic effect like this!
The backdrop for the band was a hedge wall similar to our Asher 12′ Boxwood Wall. The boxwood panels fit right in with the secret garden vibes, and more dramatic florals were added to the wall to tie everything together. Decked out with a custom neon sign, this wall added interest to the stage and contrasted beautifully with the ballroom’s luxe drapery.
All in all, this wedding is one of our faves! If you’ve been following along on the blog, you probably know we’re big fans of the team at Sophie Felts. They truly outdid themselves here, and we could not be more obsessed with the STUNNING florals which made for a truly show-stopping head table. Such a gorgeous day!
