Classic Mayflower Hotel Ceremony & Reception

November 21, 2023

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.

We were thrilled to hear that the gem of a Georgetown venue, the City Tavern Club, was purchased and is no longer closing! A gorgeous historic space, the venue is situated in the heart of Georgetown and lends itself perfectly to elegant, classic affairs in its beautifully appointed space. It was the perfect site for Alexandra & Peter`s classic green and white floral palette, filled with roses, stock, larskpur and peonies, and truly evoked a timeless feeling.⁣

Lavender isn’t a palette we get to work with too often, sadly, but when we do, we’re so excited to incorporate some of those gorgeous purple blooms like clematis, campanula and astrantia.⁣
Michelle and Sam’s wedding day at the Fairmont was straight out of a purple wonderland!⁣
