Never going to get over this fabulous one! On the cover of Washingtonian Weddings magazine now and you can read the article here! https://www.washingtonian.com/2019/09/24/fruit-decorations-dar-wedding/
Jacqueline and Stephen chose to dress up their venue with fruit decorations and other citrus-inspired details to create a modern-with-a-twist setting.
Martha Stewart Weddings
The couple asked florist Canteiro Weddings to create tall centerpieces—that wouldn't hinder guests' conversations—using a mix of red and pink roses and tulips. Smaller carnation-centric arrangements, placed in gold geometric terrariums, were placed flush on the tabletops.
