The magnificent, Beaux Arts building was the perfect modern backdrop for Sarah and Adam’s spring Union Station wedding. Sarah’s lush bouquet of stunning green lady slipper orchids, green-white parrot tulips, white mini-calla lilies, and white ranunculus was accented with whimsical ferns. The bridesmaids carried green bouquets of maidenhair fern, camelia, umbrella fern, and green-white parrot tulips. Adam’s boutonniere took a mini-calla lily from Sarah’s bouquet, while the groomsmen’s boutonnieres were a clutch of greens mimicking the bridesmaids’ bouquets.

For the spring Union Staton wedding ceremony, Sarah and Adam got married amidst a romantic chuppah of curly willow branches tucked in salal, camellia, and umbrella fern foliages accented with green dendrobium orchids and green roses.

With it’s elevated ceiling and grand space, the architecture of East Hall lent itself to dramatic table arrangements. Greeting guests at the escort card table was a design dripping with white phalaenopsis orchids. A trio of designs distinguished the spring Union Station wedding. Tall, fluted vase arrangements of deep green foliage complemented low of lush greenery and modern orchid arrangements, while tall gladiolas provided an unexpected flair.

Pastels are having a moment, but the *real* magic is in the pairing. For Clara & John’s wedding at DAR, soft, romantic blooms were styled alongside timeless Chinoiserie details, creating a look that was equal parts elegant and unexpected.
Layering florals with statement vessels and pattern play brings depth to your tablescape and keeps your design feeling editorial and intentional from start to finish.

Framing a space can be just as impactful as filling it.

At Hotel Monaco, drama lives in the details. Soaring columns, bold architecture, quirky design. For Hannah & Mike’s wedding, we wrapped lush smilax around the columns to emphasize the room’s grandeur, and suspended the chuppah canopy between them. Designed in soft lavender and honey tones, the floral palette added warmth and softness to the ballroom’s rich interiors. Honey-hued rope taper candles added a textural glow around the base of each design.

Sometimes, it’s about how you place the flowers, not just which ones you choose.
