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.

Are you curious about what bold color looks like at the Mayflower? Look no further than Kate and Nick’s vibrant celebration.

An elegant tented reception at Dumbarton House? Say no more. For Meghan & Pierce’s celebration, we designed soft, romantic centerpieces that flowed effortlessly down the head table and added movement to the round guest tables. A mix of textured greenery brought that lush, organic touch we love. It’s proof that timeless and fresh can go hand in hand. Tented weddings are stunning in any season… especially when the florals do the heavy lifting.⁣

Airy. Intentional. Unexpected.
Bouquets like this don’t just come together. They’re built with a designer’s eye and an engineer’s precision. Structured, sculptural, and perfectly imperfect.

The wired bouquet is having a moment, and we’re all in. Staying at the forefront of floral design means constantly evolving our techniques. Craftsmanship, mechanics, and keeping our skills as fresh as our stems! Modern bridal design? You’re looking at it.

Hair? Done. Makeup? Glowing. Bouquet?

A dream in toffee and white. And when the champagne tower hits just right? That’s the Petal’s Edge touch. 🍾💐

From behind-the-scenes to final frame, this shoot was full of joy, movement, and flower-filled magic. Because designing moments that feel as good as they look? That’s kind of our thing.

We’re never one to shy away from a floral moment, and at a venue like Congressional Country Club, the stakes (and the ceilings) are high. For Rebecca & Richard`s celebration, we played up the grandeur of the space with towering centerpieces and sprawling greenery that brought movement and life to each table. A timeless green-and-white palette with layers of texture gave this classic ballroom a fresh, organic twist. ⁣

Sun-drenched florals, bold texture, and one unforgettable chuppah moment.

For Aliza & Alex’s summer celebration at Oxon Hill Manor, we went full color-forward. Coral peonies were the undeniable star. Paired with wildflower-inspired details like daisies, snapdragons, freesia, and even herbs, the floral design struck that perfect balance between luxe and lighthearted.

From the birch pole chuppah trailing with blooms to vibrant, garden-style centerpieces, this tented affair radiated joyful energy - proof that color can absolutely be elevated!

Towering magnolia branches brought winter warmth and botanical drama to Aurora & Anil’s wedding at the Park Hyatt. With sculptural centerpieces and lush magnolia runners lining the long tables, this celebration proved that winter weddings can be rich in texture and full of life, no evergreen or holly required! ✨ ⁣
