Quirky Archer Hotel Wedding

Quirky Archer Hotel Wedding

We cannot express just how much we LOVED working with Stevie and Sean on both flowers and coordination for their amazing and intimate wedding at the Lorien Hotel & Spa, now the Archer Hotel. From Stevie’s glittery gown to Sean’s kilt and hand knit kilt hose to the terrariums with golden dinosaurs, the wedding was a quirky site to see.

We often find ourselves paying attention to the bride’s attire, but Sean’s paid homage to his paternal family’s Irish heritage in his attire. His attire was almost entirely handmade- including Sean’s kilt hose which were hand knit by Stevie.

Their quirky sense of humor came through with Stevie’s “Handbook for the Recently Deceased” handbag, a nod to favorite movie, “Bettlejuice”. Their wedding at the Archer Hotel began with an intimate rooftop ceremony that included a ring warming ceremony. The diamonds in Stevie’s band came from her Nana’s wedding ring, after whom she is named.

Following the rooftop ceremony, guest moved indoors for a reception full of dancing and heartfelt toasts. A “Bridezilla” greeted guests at the escort card table and encouraged them to take home one of the unique living centerpieces. Bernard, the couple’s pet pig statue, attended the wedding as well – dressed appropriately of course.

And so we are even more excited to see the amazing fete featured on Capitol Romance!

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.

Black taper candles, white pumpkins, rust-toned bunny tails, and fall foliages were just a few of the stellar details that made Ashley & Brett’s wedding at the Hotel Monaco a total VIBE! 🍂

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.
