The Patterson Mansion is set right on Dupont Circle, and like many of the elegant old mansions of DC, it opens onto a grand stairway leading up to the event spaces. In addition to providing a fantastic leg workout for the team during load-in and load-out, these stairways offer exciting design opportunities. The Patterson Mansion’s stairway has an elegant stone fountain on the stair landing, and we created a dramatic statement arrangement to fill this alcove with flowers.
Unlike many of the elegant old mansions of DC, the Patterson Mansion has been updated in a more modern style. Bold colors and contemporary artworks pop against a stunning backdrop of original architectural features. It was a perfectly sophisticated setting for Andrea and Xavier’s New Year’s Eve wedding/party. We flowered up a wide neoclassical mantle to serve as the backdrop for the ceremony, with clusters of candles adding to the festive holiday mood.
My favorite part? Just seeing how much fun the bride and groom were having on this joyful night!
