Hill & Valley Forum Event at Union Station

Hill & Valley Forum event at Union Station with flowers by Petal's Edge, corporate event florist in Washington

As a corporate event florist in Washington, DC, we’re honored when we’re called upon to bring our signature floral touch to the events that make this city run. The Hill & Valley Forum, held in the Presidential Room and the East Hall of Union Station in the heart of the city, was just such an occasion—combining high-level dialogue with elegant design.

For this impactful gathering, we provided flowers for the tables, along with bar arrangements and a signature welcome piece that enhanced the space. Bowing to the more masculine, modern feel of the event, we opted for clean lines and blooms in shades of orange, tan, and burgundy. Gold harlow stands held designs of antique green hydrangea, peach stock, salmon cremon, Black Magic, Coffee Break and Toffee roses, burgundy spray roses accented with deep green magnolia foliage and wisps of copper pistache foliage. Bar designs drew from this palette for designs appropriate to their placement. Our team focused on creating floral centerpieces that felt fresh, intentional, and polished—perfect for the tone of the event.

Union Station, with its sweeping architecture and iconic history, called for a design that respected the grandeur of the space while supporting the event’s modern mission. We leaned into sleek vessels, rich textures, and strategic repetition to define the aesthetic across the venue.

We know that every corporate event has a distinct brand and energy—and that’s where a skilled corporate event florist in Washington, DC can make all the difference. The florals served as more than just décor; they were a quiet but compelling part of the visual storytelling for attendees, speakers, and partners alike.

Whether it’s an annual forum, leadership dinner, or milestone celebration, our floral work brings clarity and beauty to the message behind the event.

It’s been a very long time since floral centerpieces were just flowers in a vase. Today’s centerpieces have multiple elements, loads of candles, things that have to be assembled and even built on-site. And yet the presumption persists that the florist is just going to show up with a box that can be left in the corner for someone else to place on the table. 

Putting aside the fact that we take far more pride in our work than that… to say that we value logistics and planning is an understatement!! And logistics are truly our skill set. We can tell you how many man hours a particular installation will take and can design for efficiency. It’s truly our super power.

Most floral design relies on other things being in place. Not useful? “You can get into the room at this time.” Actually useful? “The bar you’re building that cascading piece on will in place no later than X o’clock.” But more than that? Start realizing that event demands are not what they used to be.

I love eavesdropping. 😜

While setting up for the new Georgetown Citibank, we overheard someone say, “This is the moment.” ❤️

And I couldn’t have said it better myself. Because when flowers are doing their job, they don’t just fill a space. They create a moment you can feel.
