Mayflower Hotel Washington DC Wedding

Jane and Ethan celebrated their union with a timeless and elegant wedding at the historic Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC. Their classic nuptials were a perfect blend of sophistication and romance, creating an unforgettable day filled with love and joy.

The day began with a morning ceremony at the LDS Temple, setting the tone for the rest of the festivities. Jane, the stunning bride, carried an exquisite cascading bridal bouquet of white phalaenopsis orchids, adding a touch of natural elegance to her ensemble. The bridesmaids complemented her with simple yet beautiful bouquets featuring ivory roses and spray roses, accented with dusty miller foliage for a touch of silvery softness.

As the day transitioned into evening, the festivities continued in the grandeur of the Mayflower Hotel’s Grand Ballroom. The reception exuded opulence, with long tables featuring lush and elegant floral garlands of white hydrangea, roses, spray roses, stock, and phalaenopsis orchids. These arrangements spanned the length of the 16-foot tables, creating a visually stunning and cohesive design that perfectly complemented the classic ambiance of the venue.

To further enhance the overall aesthetic, round tables were adorned with silver footed, mercury glass bowls. These centerpieces were lush and abundant, showcasing a blend of white hydrangea, roses, stock, spray roses, lisianthus, and dusty miller. The arrangements were thoughtfully accented with white phalaenopsis orchids, adding texture and movement to the design.

Jane and Ethan’s Mayflower Hotel wedding was a celebration of love and sophistication, captured in every detail. The classic and elegant style, paired with the luxurious floral arrangements, made their day truly timeless. The Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC provided the perfect backdrop for this enchanting celebration, leaving lasting memories for the happy couple and their guests.

For Rebecca and David’s wedding at the Omni Shoreham, the vision was pure timelessness — white, ivory, and green, with a British sensibility that felt both formal and fresh. Garden roses, ranunculus, lisianthus, and stock created softness and movement, while thistle, heather, and ivy added quiet texture and tradition. The result was classic, but never simple, an elegant study in tone, proportion, and restraint. From the church railings draped in eucalyptus to the gilded compotes on the head table, every detail was designed to feel effortless, polished, and enduring. It was the kind of beauty that never goes out of style.⁣

For Anna and Abram, fall is more than a season. It is a mood. Their chuppah was dressed in curly willow branches and preserved leaves, with clusters of pumpkins for that final {chef`s kiss} touch. Bouquets brimmed with the richness and rhythm of the season: burgundy dahlias, red garden roses, scabiosa pods, viburnum berries, and peach stock. Birch bark vases held centerpieces filled with fruits, and foliage, carrying warmth through every detail. Fall florals are always about abundance, but the art is in keeping them balanced: lush, layered, and full of light.⁣

Fall at Decatur House… a love letter in color and light. Foliage climbing the chuppah, tables lined with pomegranates, persimmons, and candlelight beneath a clear-top tent. Everything wrapped in that soft golden tone that only fall manages to find. We might call it harvest season, but it’s really about warmth. The kind you feel in the flowers, in the glow, in the people who gather there. This one was pure autumn energy, in every possible way.

Few venues carry the presence of Anderson House. Its marble halls and gilded ceilings invite florals that feel architectural in their own right. For Heather & Clifford’s wedding, we worked in a single hue: red. Roses, ranunculus, and anthurium in layered tones of crimson, scarlet, and wine filled the ballroom in tall and low arrangements that stretched the length of the long tables. In a monochromatic palette, every petal and curve matters. Texture, proportion, and placement become the language of design. The result was bold yet refined, a composition that echoed the formality of the setting while transforming it into something deeply personal and unforgettable.⁣

Before the installations. Before the ballroom glow. There’s this - buckets, stems, the quiet rhythm of preparation.

With a palette of orange, burgundy, and white, Kerry & Brendan’s wedding at the Woodrow Wilson House was a study in contrast: cassic in form, but unexpected in color. Kerry carried a classic bouquet of white garden roses, ranunculus, and lisianthus with ruscus and eucalyptus foliage, while her bridesmaids’ bouquets brought color with orange and burgundy blooms that popped against their gowns. The reception brought old world charm with tall cathedral candlestick centerpieces draped in amaranthus while lush, low garden urns held flowers in classic but textured greens and whites. The result was warm, textural, and timeless, a celebration that felt both refined and joyfully vibrant.⁣
