A March Wedding Bursting with Spring Elegance

Erin and Jay’s early March wedding at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Washington, DC, was a masterful blend of spring vibrancy and sophisticated glamour. Their modern Pi Day celebration was a picturesque fusion of festive yellows, sleek grays, and deep navy blues.

Floral Fantasies in the Heart of the City

The bride’s bouquet was a vision of elegance, featuring a lush mix of white roses, anemones, ranunculus, mini-callas, and tulips. The warm hues of yellow Butterscotch roses added a cozy touch, while the black centers of the anemones provided a striking modern contrast. The bridesmaids’ bouquets echoed this elegance, combining yellow, white, pale blue, and gray florals, beautifully offsetting their navy dresses.

The groom and his groomsmen exuded modern charm with their mini-calla lily boutonnieres, accentuated with bear grass. These subtle yet stylish accents perfectly complemented the men’s attire, adding a dash of botanical elegance.

Romantic Ambiance in the Ballroom

The ballroom of the Hotel Monaco transformed into a romantic haven. A white organza panel beneath the dome, adorned with a line of hanging votives and textured white flowers, created an ethereal canopy. The drama was heightened by the dramatic yellow forsythia branches lining the aisle.

Escort Card Table and Cocktail Hour Decor

The escort card table was a standout, featuring a navy silk dupioni-wrapped vase with a splendid arrangement of orchids, delphinium, and forsythia in coordinating colors. The cocktail hour tables flaunted a modern touch with glass rectangle vases showcasing submerged stems of yellow mini-callas and white tulips.

Ballroom Elegance with Dramatic Tablescapes

The ballroom was a scene of dramatic elegance, with a mix of tall and low floral designs. Tall glass cylinders with yellow forsythia branches towered over tables, while silver ceramic cylinders overflowed with a lush mix of white hydrangeas, anemones, tulips, ranunculus, roses, delphinium, and dusty miller. The king’s table, draped in glittery navy linen, was adorned with an eclectic array of small vases filled with flowers in white, yellow, gray, and light blue hues.

Erin and Jay’s Kimpton Hotel Monaco DC wedding was not just a celebration of their union but also a festival of modern elegance and springtime charm. Their special day, rich in colors and florals, truly captured the essence of a Pi Day wedding, combining mathematical whimsy with botanical beauty.

The season for sparkle begins. ✨ From Thanksgiving dinners to New Year’s soirées, November is when party plans come to life — and our design calendar shifts from bouquets to ballrooms.

Our installation at the Watergate Hotel mixed metallics and white roses in sculptural form - proof that holiday design can be both organic and glamorous. Because at its core, festivity is about transformation: turning a space into a feeling, a table into a gathering, and light into warmth.
Let’s talk about the “just a few extra blooms” request. Spoiler: there’s no such thing as extra in the world of flowers. Every stem you see, from delicate sweet peas and perfect ranunculus to lush roses, was bought with intention because flowers are literally our business. 🌸

The blooms for a single flat lay? Retail price any where from $20 to $75 and up. And. Up. Why the mark up? Because selling flowers is how we make our living. It pays the team, the rent, the cooler, transportation costs, and more. (It’s not just petals and poetry over here). Multiply that by 50 - 70 weddings a season and you’re looking at over $3k in gift blooms. That doesn’t include the myriad of other free blooms we get asked for: cake flowers, passing tray flowers, sample arrangements and more. That’s not generosity. That’s payroll.

Here’s how we handle it: We offer all our couples the option to include flat lay florals. If yes, we build it into the proposal so everyone wins. The couple gets their dreamy detail shots, the photographer gets beautiful product to work with, and we stay in business. Fairness (and beauty) for all.

No shade to photographers and other wedding vendors here. But boundaries are healthy. Everyone’s work deserves compensation. Be kind. Ask questions. Respect the craft. Love the results.
