Comic Book & Airline-Inspired Wedding

Dom and Dan’s wedding at the Ritz Carlton Georgetown was like the wedding of the year for us! We have known Dom for so many years as a professional colleague, and so it was extra special to be able to work with him and his fiancé Dan on the flowers for the wedding. In particular, we had so much fun merging Dom’s love of planes with Dan’s love of comic books for an extra personal touch. Check out the feature below!

Ceremony & Reception: Ritz Carlton Georgetown

Photography: Freed Photography

Videography: In Depth

Florist: Petal’s Edge Floral Design

Cake: Fancy Cakes by Leslie

Entertainment: Bialek’s

Wedding Planner: SME Events and Michelle Taylor Events

No, ma’am. That’s not how any of this works…

💐✨ Wedding flower myths? We’ve heard them all. ✨

“You can just reuse the _____ flowers.”
“Faux flowers look the same.”
“Greenery is cheap, right?”

We get it. Planning a wedding comes with a lot of well-meaning advice. But when it comes to flowers, there’s a big difference between a cost-saving hack and a costly mistake.

At Petal’s Edge, we design with intention, experience, and artistry. We’re not here to upsell. We’re here to guide you through what works, what doesn’t, and what’s actually worth it. Because your flowers should feel just as thoughtful as the rest of your wedding. 🌿💐

Forget “Something Borrowed’. Seriously - have you ever seen such a stunning and tasteful incorporation of blue tones in a wedding? We brought a playful twist on “Something Blue’ into Wendy & Erik’s wedding day at @willard_intercontinentaldc With touches of blue Chinoiserie vases, not to mention other blue touches like ribbons and bridesmaid dresses, the blush and ivory floral palette of all blended perfectly together! Cheers to a beautiful day as magnificent as the happy couple!

Designing at River Farm always feels like a breath of fresh air — quite literally! The gardens are already so lush and abundant, so for Caitlin & Sean’s wedding, our goal was to create florals that felt like a natural extension of the landscape. We adorned the existing pergola with a floral installation designed to look as though it had always been blooming there — organic, graceful, and perfectly at home in the garden.⁣

This moment. This backdrop. Nicole & Cina’s wedding ceremony at the Reagan International Trade Building was a masterclass in modern romance. White petals lined the aisle while a copper-painted square arch framed our couple in soft waves of white + green blooms. The final touch? The bride + her bridesmaids perfectly poised beneath the arch—one of those “stop scrolling” moments we’ll never tire of. Timeless, effortless, unforgettable.

Lush, lavish, and unapologetically sophisticated - these were the guiding words for the Hill & Valley Forum event at Union Station, where golden sunset tones met architectural grandeur in the most unforgettable way. The vision? A celebration that felt masculine yet elevated.⁣

To bring it to life, we had the joy of collaborating with Atelier Ashley Flowers. Sharing a unified palette but each interpreting it through our distinct lens, we created a layered floral story that unfolded across the space. Bold, textural blooms anchored our design, complementing the dramatic backdrop of this iconic venue while staying true to the event`s refined style.⁣
