Burgundy Fall Hotel Monaco wedding

Genevieve and John had the most beautiful fall soiree at the Hotel Monaco last fall. The wedding featured rich burgundies and creams with accents of sage green – the perfect nod to the season. We are delighted to see the wedding featured on Borrowed & Blue! Be sure to check out the whole feature, but we’ve included some of our favorite images below.

Backyard weddings come with charm built in. Intimacy, laughter, the feeling of home. And flowers should be designed to meet that atmosphere! For Kristel & Jordan`s celebration, we leaned into their pastel floral palette paired with texture, and movement, keeping the palette playful but elevated. The result was a design that felt one-of-a-kind, deeply personal, and still refined. It’s proof that whether it’s a ballroom or a backyard, thoughtful floral design always sets the tone for the experience.⁣

Candlelight does something flowers can’t do on their own: it shifts the entire atmosphere. At Capitol View at 400, the skyline is already a showstopper, so we kept the florals for Rachael & Andrew`s wedding refined and layered, then added candlelight to transform the tables after dark. The flicker reflects off petals, glassware, and linens, making every detail feel more intentional. Especially in fall, when evenings arrive earlier, candles extend the life of the flowers and create a sense of intimacy that photographs beautifully.⁣

Moody palettes don’t have to wait for October. For Alexandra & Sam’s spring wedding at St. Francis Hall, we built the design on deep burgundy roses, moody mauves and deep plum fritillaria, the last a flower uniquely available in early spring. To keep the look from tipping too dark, we layered in Sahara Sensation spray roses, peach stock, and quince branches for lightness and movement. Loose and airy aisle pieces added whimsy, while a deconstructed arch and gold-rimmed candles brought romance. The result was dramatic without ever feeling heavy. Romantic, fresh, and unmistakably spring.

The secret to great floral design? Continuity, not duplication. For Natalie & Lawrence’s Woodend wedding, we reimagined the ceremony arch as a backdrop for their sweetheart table, then echoed the palette across cake florals and centerpieces. Each piece was distinct, but the entire celebration felt connected. That’s the balance we aim for: designs that don’t compete for attention, but work together to create a cohesive experience from vows to last dance.⁣

The National Museum of Women in the Arts is always a stunning canvas, and we’ve had the joy of designing there many times. For Lucas & Jerry, we embraced a chic monochromatic palette of white florals, branches and candlelight to complement the artwork and architecture. The result was timeless, elegant, and deeply personal, especially with the sweet nods to their beloved pup woven throughout the day. 🤍✨⁣

Ceremony focal points like chuppahs and arches have long been a favorite part of designing a wedding for us. With few rules, they become an opportunity to establish the mood for everything that follows. For Amanda & Jack’s wedding at Woodend, we drew from their William Morris–inspired invitation suite to guide the palette of mossy greens, mustard yellows, and soft blush. The result was a lush installation of pampas grass, moss, olive leaf, eucalyptus, solidago, mustard cremon, Toffee roses, and golden yellow spray roses, a nod to the texture and whimsy that awaited guests at the reception. (Swipe for fun surprises!).✨⁣
