Champagne Modern Hotel Monaco Wedding

November 10, 2014

The Hotel Monaco in DC is one of those unique gems in Washington – classically styled architecture merged with the modern sensibilities of a boutique hotel. And with that inspiration as the backdrop, Lauren and Geoff’s June wedding took advantage of both elements!

With a color palette of candlelight whites and ivories, champagne hues, and accents of gold, Lauren’s bouquet featured classic textures and soft romantic shapes. The bouquet of white peonies, ivory ‘Vendela’ roses and white mini-calla lilies was finished with touches of champagne hued ‘Quicksand’ roses. Against a striking patterns and sequined dress, her maid of honor’s bouquet was fashioned from ivory and champagne roses and mini-calla lilies. To complement, the groom’s boutonniere was designed using a white rose and the best man in champagne.

The ceremony took on a decidedly modern turn. Taking advantage of the soaring architectural feature supporting the central dome, a panel of white organza was suspended seemingly transparently between the four columns. A line of hanging votives on gold wire created the suggestion of the supports for the chuppah in an ethereal and romantic way. An elegant fabric runner marked the aisle for the otherwise in-the-round set up for the ceremony.

Centered on the escort card table was an elegant gold vase with a classic design of white hydrangea, stock, ivory and champagne roses, and spray roses. The reception tables combined modern and classic sensibilities. Classic gold bowls held contemporary, tailored arrangements of white hydrangea, stock, dahlia, spray roses, and mini-calla lilies, accented with ivory and champagne roses. Elegant stemmed votives with floating candles brought a romantic touch of candlelight to each table.

But, no pranks here when we recommend scheduling your complimentary floral consultation today as we are filling up for the rest of 2025 and spring of 2026! ⁣

A chuppah like no other. ✨ For Lottie & Kyle’s wedding at the Hotel Monaco, we framed the ceremony with tall, airy designs of eucalyptus, larkspur and delphinium, while delicate strands of white dendrobium orchids floated from the canopy suspended between the rotunda columns. The result? A chuppah that felt ethereal, elegant, and completely one-of-a-kind. Don’t miss the next photo for a closer look at this dreamy design!

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

A floral moment as timeless as Leah & Matt’s love. 🤍 Their intimate ceremony at Mount Vernon Inn featured a breathtaking circular arch of lush white roses—the perfect symbol of eternity. Inside, glass-enclosed taper candles set aside soft, full blooms filled the tables and set the scene for a romantic reception. Classic, elegant, and completely unforgettable. ⁣

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.”⁣
