Early summer in Baltimore—the giddy anticipation of spring has run it’s course, flowers are in full bloom, and still-pleasant heat hangs around for the evening as does the summer sun. Romance takes many forms, and this sounds about right for one of them. As the month of May wanes, we’re reflecting on one of our favorite weddings from last June.
The Mt. Washington Mill Dye house, a Baltimore venue we never tire of, was the perfect setting for Megan & Peter’s summer garden inspired celebration. We love this venue for it’s versatility, grit, romance & charm. Megan & Peter - a fun and exuberant couple - wanted lush, full flowers that were still joyful and textured to tie into the venue well.
Possibly of my favorite repurposing of a ceremony installation. Loved the romance of this lounge area. Plus, the guests were still taking photos in front of the chuppah when we returned for clean up late at night - always a rewarding sight after a long day’s work.
We decided on a pallet of dark greens and muted neutral tones accented by plenty of bright pops of coral and pink. Local summer blooms, like ethereal white agrostemma and painterly late-blooming peonies, stole the show in bouquets, graced the cake and completed growing gardens running the length of the tables. Muted cappuccino roses tied into the tone of the exposed brick walls.
Perhaps one of our favorite details of the day was the rambling installation of blooms and greens suspended behind the welcome and escort card acrylic signs – a design idea by Clover Event Co that we helped execute.
Lush arrangements that graced the back of the ceremony aisle made their way into the reception afterward to become part of the sweetheart table.
And of course, my personal favorite, a cake covered in blooms…
For good measure, here’s an action shot of the long tables with growing gardens. Every corner you turn at the Dye House gives way to another dreamy scene.
I’m a sucker for gauzy linen table runners, aren’t you?
Too many talented minds and love-filled hearts went in to this celebration to give the month of June all of the credit, but it sure did add to the magic.
