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.

The vines had crept up the columns and into the chandeliers by the time the bride arrived in black… 🐦‍⬛

Black is a bold look for a wedding, and when it’s the bride’s dress, that alone deserves another look! We’ve been saving Lauren and Alan’s Hotel Monaco wedding for spooky season, and you can see why. Between the antique keys, the open books and that magnificent black cake, we were happily lost in the gothic romance and dark academia vibe. Crawling vines only add to the mystery.

Orange and burgundy flowers brought an autumn glow to the whole setting, with curling fiddleheads and little Chinese lanterns giving Lauren’s bouquet a slightly peculiar, woodland feel.

Anything better than classic vibes? ✨

My favorite moment? Transferring the aisle garland studded with white blooms to the urn alcove for a dramatic moment in the tent.

Our very own Bree got married!!! 💜 Bree is the daughter of a college friend’s best friend (follow that? 😂), and she worked with me for a few years at Petal’s Edge. So when it came time for her wedding, this one was personal.

Bree has always loved all things French. But the wedding wasn’t in France; it was at Green Mountain Farm in North Carolina. So French château gave way to French country: lavender and rosemary, rattan and terracotta, and loose, airy flowers in soft lavender and cream. A little rustic, a little elegant, and just right for the setting. And so Bree! (In fact, she may not have realized it, but the hues of terra cotta picked up on the red in her hair 😉)

When I sent her the proposal, Bree wrote back: “I’m actually crying. It’s so beautiful. It’s everything I wanted it to be.”

We love you, Bree! And we loved being part of your day!!! 💕

The fountain garden at Woodlawn + Pope Leighey House is one of our favorite spots on earth, and cocktail hour here just hits differently. 🤍 Urn arrangements, cocktail table florals, a custom seating area, string lights, an escort card wall... the details are what transform a beautiful space into a full experience. Because details make the difference — always. ✨🌿⁣

A palette pulled straight from a glass of bourbon. 🥃

Sculptural calla lilies, trailing amaranthus, grapes and peaches. Modern, organic, a little decadent, and just a little moody.

Designed for Basil Hayden, and proof that sometimes the most interesting thing you can put in a floral arrangement isn’t a flower.

We loved working with @basilhayden to bring this together.

There’s just something about St. Francis Hall.⁣

Maybe it’s the brick. Maybe it’s the windows. Maybe it’s those twinkle lights that somehow make every wedding feel a little bit magical.⁣

For Erin & Joel`s wedding, we loved the contrast of all that warm architecture with cool blues, crisp whites and lots of greenery. Nothing fighting the room. Nothing trying too hard. Just really pretty flowers in a really wonderful space.⁣

And honestly, we could design here a hundred times and still get excited walking through those doors.⁣
