Classic Omni Shoreham Wedding

Classic Omni Shoreham Wedding

Floating candles interspersed between flowers.

The Omni Shoreham Hotel is such a gem in Washington. Overlooking Rock Creek Park, the hotel boasts not only a grand interior, but the gardens are a stunning oasis of flowering gardens and a gazebo that overlooks the wooded park. Laura and Ben’s wedding at the Omni early May wedding featured a classic palette of whites alternated with rich shades of purple and blue. Laura’s bouquet for her classic Omni Shoreham wedding featured a spring mix of white lilac, peonies, ranunculus and anemone, while her groom sported a matching boutonniere of white ranunculus.

Last minute threats of rain forced the ceremony indoors into the Ambassador Ballroom, but the festivity was not compromised in the least.  Laura and Ben were married beneath a garden-inspired chuppah featuring an overlay of curly willow branches tucked with purple larkspur, lavender roses and stock, and touches of light blue delphinium. Purple lilac draping from the top creating the feel of wisteria vines. Despite moving indoors, the ceremony retained every feel of a classic Omni Shoreham wedding ceremony. Clutches of lavender stock, roses, and lisianthus finished with an ivory ribbon bow were attached to the chairs along the aisle.

Cocktails in the Palladian Room preceded the reception in the Empire Ballroom.  For the escort card table, a silver urn was centered atop a patterns gray linen and filled with a design of purple and lavender larkspur and stock accented with light blue delphinium.

 

 

Atop gray linens, round tables featured a glass footed bowl with a rich, garden arrangement of white hydrangea purple stock, ivory roses, and plum ranunculus accented with lavender and purple sweet pea and tulips. Cylinder vases with floating candles completed the design. For the longer rectangle tables, a rich garden design of white hydrangea, stock, roses and ranunculus accented with lavender sweet pea filled a mix of glassware, including glass rectangle vases of varying heights and small compote bowls extended along the length of the table.  Stemmed votives with floating candles added a romantic touch of candlelight. The classic Omni Shoreham wedding was impeccable from start to finish.

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨ 

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea! 

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨ 

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level 

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance
