Rashmi & Caleb | October 25, 2026 🌿
Who says you need a traditional floral arch to get married? For this intimate Indian wedding at Hill Center in Washington, DC, we transformed a beautiful existing tree into a cascading floral installation that looked like the flowers were growing right out of the trunk.
Rashmi wanted purple flowers, and I loved the creative challenge of building a garden-inspired design around that vision. I brought in rusty oranges, soft whites, earthy browns and lots of interesting foliage to give the installation depth, texture and movement.
One of my favorite details was using magnolia foliage for its beautiful brown undersides. We layered in dahlias, chrysanthemums, orchids, roses and carnations, creating a floral waterfall that followed the natural shape of the tree.
And the entire installation was foam-free!
Seeing these professional photos come back, especially with Rashmi’s stunning wedding attire against the flowers, makes me love this design even more.
This is what I love about floral design. Taking a couple’s vision, working with the natural surroundings and creating something completely unique to their wedding.
Congratulations, Rashmi & Caleb! ❤️
