Caroline knew that she wanted rich oranges and blues with touches of white for her bouquet and her bridesmaids. We designed a beautiful suite of blooms that included roses and dahlia in oranges and whites, orange orchids and ranunculus and finished with accents of blue delphinium and eucalyptus. With blue as Caroline’s favorite color, her groom Corey wore a blue delphinium boutonniere to finish his attire.

The ceremony and reception took place at Mount Vernon Inn, the restaurant on the grounds of George Washington’s Mount Vernon historic estate. The sunken garden was transformed for the ceremony with an aisle of pumpkins in shades of peach, blue-green and white, culminating in two dramatic altar designs in copper urns atop pedestals.

The color scheme for the reception consisted of whites, oranges and blues with pops of sage green. Chic Chinoiserie inspired wedding details started with the escort card table, where a banded ginger jar vase was filled with hydrangea, blue delphinium, orange dahlia and roses, and finished with eucalyptus greeted guests. Blue-white patterned Chinoiserie vases graced the tables in the ballroom, each filled with a rich mix of orchids, delphinium, dahlia and roses.

A floral palette of rich jewel tones have a way of redefining a room... For Alex & John`s wedding at the Hotel Monaco, layers of burgundy, eggplant, and textured seasonal blooms brought depth and drama to the ceremony space. The architecture was already striking, but the flowers changed the atmosphere, creating warmth, intimacy, and focus where guests gathered. That’s the impact of investing in floral design: it goes beyond color. Flowers set the mood, shape the experience, and ensure your wedding feels unforgettable from the very first impression.⁣

Did you know that baby’s breath can be a showstopper all on its own? 🌟

At Meaghan & David’s Willard Hotel wedding, we used this delicate bloom to create everything from airy, elevated centerpieces to rings of the tiny flowers to circle candles and lush runners on the head table. The result? A look that’s both ethereal and elegant, proving that baby’s breath can be more than just a filler flower. It’s a versatile, often budget-friendly option that brings a soft, romantic vibe to any wedding. Who’s ready to fall in love with this understated beauty? 😍

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.⁣
