The Alexandrian Hotel Wedding

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.

It’s never just an arch.

For Kelly & Ross’ ceremony, we started with River Bend Club’s classic symmetry and used it to guide every design decision, from the shape of the arch to how the flowers were layered for movement and softness. Greenery grounded the structure, and white blooms floated above like clouds. Every choice is about visual flow, guest experience, and the couple at the center of it all (including their dog, who clearly understood the assignment 🐾).

A Study in Simplicity.

White roses. Baby’s breath. Taper candles. Bud vases. That’s it! Except it’s everything. For this modern black-and-white wedding at the Hotel Monaco, the impact wasn’t in the quantity. It was in the intention. Every floral element was thoughtfully placed to enhance the space, not overwhelm it.

We’re big believers in letting design whisper, not shout, and this one spoke volumes.
