Classic Mayflower Hotel Ceremony & Reception

Classic Mayflower Hotel Ceremony & Reception

Greg and Dennis embarked on a journey of timeless love with a classic Mayflower Hotel ceremony that epitomized sophistication and charm. The wedding was filled with exquisite detail, from the traditional ceremony to the opulent floral arrangements that adorned this iconic venue.

Classic Mayflower Hotel Setting

The Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC is filled with allure and is the perfect backdrop for a classic wedding ceremony. With timeless architecture, historic architectural details and refined interiors, the Mayflower Hotel provided an enchanting setting that complemented the elegance of Greg and Dennis’ celebration.

Sophisticated Floral Accents

The grooms graced the occasion with pale pink Sweet Eskimo rose boutonnieres, each adorned with delicate touches of eucalyptus. A touch of class was added as the groomswomen carried lush, French hand-tied bouquets featuring white and blush roses, garden roses, mini-calla lilies, astilbe, and white stock, elegantly wrapped with gray satin ribbon.

Dramatic Mayflower Hotel Ceremony

Dramatic floral arrangements flanked the ceremony area on pedestals, creating a scene of grandeur and romance. A pristine white aisle runner, adorned with a simple satin ribbon seal, awaited the entrance of the wedding party. This simple yet classic touch added grace to the ceremony, setting the stage for a procession filled with love and tradition.

Creating Elegance at the Reception

The elegance continued into the reception with arrangements placed on glass cylinder vases. Classic, rounded designs of white hydrangea, stock, and roses adorned half of the dinner tables, while textured designs, incorporating Italian ruscus and silver dollar eucalyptus, graced the others.

Greg and Dennis’ classic Mayflower Hotel ceremony and following reception was a celebration of timeless love and refined elegance. From the iconic setting to the sophisticated floral accents, every detail spoke of a love story steeped in tradition and class.

What goes up, must come down. Our team spent a solid week of getting up on ladders, hanging wreaths, fluffing garland, and placing oversized bows to get nine local restaurants holiday ready… and now it ends. Every garland gets boxed and labeled. Every ornament tucked back in its place and each wreath finding a new home - until next year. It seems almost sad to put away the holiday decor, but ready for the next bit of sparkle & shine!

Do you recognize any of the places we added a touch of holiday magic? Sound off below!
Good by 2025. Hello 2026! More moments than a single reel can capture.
The end of the year calls for reflection… and what better inspo for that than disco balls 🪩!
