A Vibrant Garden-Inspired Wedding at the Four Seasons Washington DC

Step into a world of joyful color and modern romance with Alina & Patrick’s wedding at the Four Seasons Washington DC. From playful stationery to whimsical florals and fashion-forward details, every moment of their celebration was a perfect reflection of their bold, creative spirit and deep connection.

Planned to perfection by Cheers Darling Events, the day blended editorial-worthy styling with a deeply personal narrative—making it a dream to photograph for the Costola Photography team.

Getting Ready: Personal Style Meets High Fashion

Alina began her day surrounded by laughter, love, and a few signature cocktails. Her custom invitations from Minted Weddings set the tone for the day—colorful, chic, and completely bespoke. Meanwhile, Patrick got ready in style, donning a sage green suit and a custom watch that echoed their colorful design palette.

Beauty was masterfully done by the team at Georgetown Bride, who brought out Alina’s radiant bridal look with a soft glam finish.

A Ceremony in Bloom

Held in the Four Seasons’ intimate courtyard, the ceremony space was transformed into a lush garden scene thanks to the artistic talent of Ritual Floral Studio. Soft vines, citrus-toned blooms, and sculptural arrangements framed the couple as they said “I do” in front of their closest family and friends—and one very dapper dog.

Cocktail Hour & Signature Sips

Guests were welcomed into a cocktail hour filled with curated lounge vignettes provided by Something Vintage and FAB Events DC. The vibe was a modern nod to Palm Beach chic, blending scalloped edges, velvet textures, and playful florals.

Custom cocktails were served in coupe glasses topped with flower petals—just one of many stylish surprises throughout the evening.

A Reception to Remember

The reception design was a maximalist’s dream come true. Think: wave-pattern linens, velvet drapery in jewel tones, and layered tablescapes that mixed modern playfulness with upscale sophistication. Guests dined on fine cuisine under the glow of crystal chandeliers before hitting the dance floor with ShowPow Events keeping the energy high all night long.

The cake—an art piece in itself—stood tall with whimsical piped vines and flower accents, echoing the entire day’s playful-yet-elevated aesthetic.

Final Touches: A Visual Story for the Ages

Every detail of this wedding was intentionally crafted to reflect Alina & Patrick’s personality: warm, spirited, and unapologetically original. From the design-forward paper goods by Minted Weddings, to the unforgettable dance party, to the couple’s quiet emotional moments—the day was a true editorial masterpiece.

It was an honor to capture this one-of-a-kind celebration, and we’re forever grateful to this incredible vendor team for bringing the vision to life.
