Berry-Toned Hotel Monaco DC Wedding

Oh, Leah and Joshua’s wedding was RICH! The berry-toned Hotel Monaco wedding featured incredible, saturated hues of red, fuchsia, navy blue. Swoon!! Leah carried a bouquet of Juliet garden roses, Cafe au Lait dahlia, blush pink mini-calla lilies and light pink ranunculus accented with burgundy dahlia and seeded eucalyptus. Their bridesmaids bouquets amped up the color with roses, dahlia, ranunculus, and callas in saturated berry tones accented with seeded eucalyptus and blue-black viburnum berries.

The ceremony took place at the historic Sixth and I Synagogue. Accenting the chuppah onsite was a garland of seeded eucalyptus foliage accented with wedding flowers, and two posies of stock, dahlia, and roses with peaches, pinks, and burgundies finished with soft greenery.

For the berry-toned Hotel Monaco wedding, guests were greeted to the reception by an elegant gold vase at the escort card table. The vase was topped with a classic, rounded design of antique green hydrangea, light pink stock, burgundy dahlia, roses and spray roses, Cafe au Lait dahlia, and peach Femma. Similar flowers filled a classic gold bowl for the dinner tables, each finished with floating candles in stemmed containers. The garland from the chuppah was repurposed on the sweetheart tables and the posies on the backs of the bride’s and groom’s chairs, finishing the look.

It’s been a very long time since floral centerpieces were just flowers in a vase. Today’s centerpieces have multiple elements, loads of candles, things that have to be assembled and even built on-site. And yet the presumption persists that the florist is just going to show up with a box that can be left in the corner for someone else to place on the table.

Putting aside the fact that we take far more pride in our work than that… to say that we value logistics and planning is an understatement!! And logistics are truly our skill set. We can tell you how many man hours a particular installation will take and can design for efficiency. It’s truly our super power.

Most floral design relies on other things being in place. Not useful? “You can get into the room at this time.” Actually useful? “The bar you’re building that cascading piece on will in place no later than X o’clock.” But more than that? Start realizing that event demands are not what they used to be.

We were at the Willard InterContinental this past weekend setting up for Mari`s bridal shower. Think pink, gardeny, everything spring.⁣
⁣
The Crystal Room is always a lot of look. Those green marble columns, the chandeliers... and yet it`s so quintessentially DC! There`s something about that room that makes pink feel completely at home.⁣
⁣
It took us straight back to Sophia & Daniel`s wedding ceremony in the same space. Pink baby`s breath, roses, the whole thing. Two totally different events, same magic. Pink and the Crystal Room? We`re convinced it`s a love story. 💚🌸⁣

I love eavesdropping. 😜

While setting up for the new Georgetown Citibank, we overheard someone say, “This is the moment.” ❤️

And I couldn’t have said it better myself. Because when flowers are doing their job, they don’t just fill a space. They create a moment you can feel.
