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 never just an arch.

For Kelly & Ross’ ceremony, we started with River Bend Club’s classic symmetry and used it to guide every design decision, from the shape of the arch to how the flowers were layered for movement and softness. Greenery grounded the structure, and white blooms floated above like clouds.  Every choice is about visual flow, guest experience, and the couple at the center of it all (including their dog, who clearly understood the assignment 🐾).

A Study in Simplicity.

White roses. Baby’s breath. Taper candles. Bud vases. That’s it! Except it’s everything. For this modern black-and-white wedding at the Hotel Monaco, the impact wasn’t in the quantity. It was in the intention. Every floral element was thoughtfully placed to enhance the space, not overwhelm it.

We’re big believers in letting design whisper, not shout, and this one spoke volumes.
