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.

As baseball season wraps, we’re celebrating a win of our own: bringing Petal’s Edge floral magic to Nationals Park for a special event. While most days take us to historic houses and grand ballrooms, we love the chance to design somewhere unexpected. Because flowers don’t just belong in gardens. They shine in stadiums too!
When the bride wears black, everything else falls into place. At Lauren & Alan’s Hotel Monaco wedding, the candlelight flickered against layers of greenery, lanterns, and shadow. The palette whispered more than it spoke. White flowers wouldn’t have belonged here; this was a story told in texture, depth, and restraint.

There’s power in contrast: light against dark, softness against structure, the unexpected choice that somehow feels inevitable once you see it. The design was less about decoration and more about atmosphere. Mysterious, elegant, and entirely unforgettable.

Florals in full dramatic mode for The Scout Guide Alexandria launch party at the Hotel Heron. A trunk bursting with roses, a plum-and-black arch layered in texture and light. Modern romance with an editorial edge. The evening’s palette played with tension: shadow against shine, petals against metal.

We love when flowers step outside the ballroom and into the spotlight, blurring the line between installation and arrangement. These designs were made to stop traffic, literally and figuratively.
