Classic Hotel Monaco Wedding

Classic Hotel Monaco Wedding

There was so much warmth and energy in this family, making it such a pleasure to work with Maggie and her mother on the flowers for their classic Hotel Monaco wedding! The vision was modern, in keeping with the reception site, overlaid with a classic, French formal garden feel. A tall order to be sure! Maggie carried a bouquet of classic ivory roses and white ranunculus studded with white phalaenopsis orchids. Eddie’s boutonniere was fashioned from a white phalaenopsis bloom from Maggie’s bouquet. The bridesmaids wore navy dresses against which the simple domes of ivory roses stood out as both a crisp and modern choice.

Two striking altar arrangements in whites and greens flanked the ceremony area at Dahlgren Chapel on the campus of Georgetown University, each accented with touches of silver brunea pods and dusty miller. Chairs on both sides of the aisle held petite bouquets of roses, stock and spray roses accented with a mix of boxwood, salal and seeded eucalyptus.

The clean palette of white and green continued to the classic Hotel Monaco wedding reception, where an elegant design greeted guests at the escort card table. A tall, fluted glass vase was topped with a classic design of white hydrangea, roses, stock and lisianthus peppered with a rich mix of foliages – lemon leaf, boxwood, and draping seeded eucalyptus. Dinner tables were centered with a low, square glass vase lined on the interior with boxwood. The design, inspired by French parterre gardens, featured a sculpted ring of  boxwood surrounding a textured mound of white hydrangea, stock, roses, and lisianthus.

Pastels are having a moment, but the *real* magic is in the pairing. For Clara & John’s wedding at DAR, soft, romantic blooms were styled alongside timeless Chinoiserie details, creating a look that was equal parts elegant and unexpected.
Layering florals with statement vessels and pattern play brings depth to your tablescape and keeps your design feeling editorial and intentional from start to finish.

Black taper candles, white pumpkins, rust-toned bunny tails, and fall foliages were just a few of the stellar details that made Ashley & Brett’s wedding at the Hotel Monaco a total VIBE! 🍂

Framing a space can be just as impactful as filling it.

At Hotel Monaco, drama lives in the details. Soaring columns, bold architecture, quirky design. For Hannah & Mike’s wedding, we wrapped lush smilax around the columns to emphasize the room’s grandeur, and suspended the chuppah canopy between them. Designed in soft lavender and honey tones, the floral palette added warmth and softness to the ballroom’s rich interiors. Honey-hued rope taper candles added a textural glow around the base of each design.

Sometimes, it’s about how you place the flowers, not just which ones you choose.
