Intimate Brunch Wedding at the Four Seasons

Intimate Brunch Wedding at the Four Seasons

Amanda and Brandan’s intimate brunch wedding at the Four Seasons in Washington, DC was at once cozy and intimate, romantic and elegant, and dramatic and joyful. We had the honor of working with this beautiful couple to bring their wedding to life. The couple wanted to both honor the clean lines of the space and lend a garden, early fall feel.

Burgundy and Blush Palette

A classic, soft palette of ivory, blush and burgundy blooms were accented with touches of rose gold. Amanda carried a beidermeier style bouquet of concentric rings of white ranunculus and roses, blush garden roses, and burgundy roses and dahlia. Brandan’s boutonnière featured a single burgundy rose finished with eucalyptus.

Intimate Ceremony

While most people think of the hotel for its grand reception spaces, the Conservatory is a uniquely intimate space. It was a perfect choice for brunch wedding. An asymmetrical group of flowers accented the ceremony, with pedestals topped with lush designs of hydrangea, stock, roses, dahlia, and lisianthus in shades of burgundy, blush and white finished with touches of seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus for texture.

Romantic Reception

Amanda and Brandan’s brunch wedding at the Four Seasons reception in the Dumbarton Room was both beautiful and intimate. A lush design green guests at the escort card table, ringed with glowing candles in rose gold containers. Inside the ballroom, long king’s tables were anchored with elevated designs atop clear glass pilsner vases. Each were designed using white hydrangea, blush and white stock, roses in shades of ivory, blush, and burgundy, burgundy dahlia, and white lisianthus, accented with seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus. A garland of eucalyptus foliage spanned the length of the tables, while petite, monochromatic arrangements of roses in shades of ivory, blush and burgundy peeked out from gleaming rose gold containers.

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? 💅

Thank you to Megan and Damien for their 5 star review! We loved flowering and coordinating their beautiful wedding day at St. Francis Hall! ⁣

“We were so lucky that we found Petal`s Edge. Gorgeous flowers and we hired Gerry for her super talented day of wedding coordination. Planning a wedding is hard but Petal`s Edge made it easy. Beyond super beautiful florals that really elevated our day and made it special, it was such a huge help that any time I was stuck in the planning process, Gerry answered any question I had. Her professionalism and capabilities are simply unmatched. She knows everything about venues, vendors and more inside and out. Meetings to see your floral designs are super smooth. Petal`s Edge will write your contract super fast and easily helped us amend it. The day of the wedding couldn`t have been more perfect. It was so easy and fun. Petal`s Edge set everything up perfectly and make sure it ran smoothly. The florals were so beautiful!! I loved all of the details, from a stunning bridal bouquet, posies for moms and grandmas, framing the posters with eucalyptus, to gorgeous multicolored petals down the aisle. Our guests were so comfortable and well taken care of the whole night. Petal`s Edge really took the rustic/classic vision I had in mind and made it a gorgeous reality.”⁣

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

Amanda & Matt`s District Winery wedding was filled with lush greenery - a fresh turn on a winder wedding to bring the outdoors in. A hanging greenery focal point created the perfect backdrop for the happy couple - both for the ceremony and then the head table. Amanda shared the kindest review following the wedding: ⁣
⁣
“Magical. Ethereal. Breathtaking. Gerry and her team transformed District Wintery into a magical winter wonderland. Our theme was icy blue winter and the flowers, ceiling and stairwell installation were on point!”⁣

Not all green and white floral palettes are created equal. This one here will NEVER go out of style and is truly as timeless as they come! Magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary, and delicate touches of white… Add velvet linens and gold touches, and we’re smitten... 😍

A wedding in an art gallery deserves florals that are a work of art, as well! The towering floral pieces we designed for Jen and Doug’s wedding at the National Museum of Women in the Arts blended the clean, modern lines of calla lilies with the texture and color of larkspur, stock and snapdragons to elevate the design of their beautiful wedding at the museum.
