The Alexandrian Hotel Wedding

The Alexandrian Hotel wedding florist bouquet

Being local to Alexandria, we do so many weddings at The Alexandrian Hotel that we may as well be The Alexandrian Hotel florist! But this wedding… Joy! Never was a bride so aptly named, and you can see the unbridled (heh) glee on Joy and Rich’s faces on the day of their wedding. The palette of burgundy and cream was never so seasonally appropriate. Joy carried a stunning bouquet in burgundy and cream tones set off with touches of sage green. The bouquet featured burgundy dahlias, spray roses, scabiosa, Black Magic roses accented with cream stock, champagne Sahara roses, and finally finished with seeded eucalyptus. Rich’s boutonniere featured a burgundy rose from Joy’s bouquet accented with seeded eucalyptus.

The ceremony took place in The Alexandrian Hotel’s courtyard. The couple was flanked by two elegant, wrought iron stands featuring modern designs of red James Storei and mokara orchids, burgundy snapdragons and gladiola accented with cream stock, and for a rustic finish, tall curly willow branches and seeded eucalyptus foliage.

Guests found their escort cards at a garland-rimmed table backed with a line of floating candles in stemmed, glass containers. The tables featured a mix of two complementary designs in either black footed bowls or a mix of footed black urns. Each container was filled with a richly textured design of antique green hydrangea, burgundy dahlia, roses, spray roses and scabiosa, cream stock, champagne roses, and touches of seeded eucalyptus. The sweetheart table was finished with a garland accented with wedding flowers, similar to the escort card table design.

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea!

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance
