Cuba Libre Restaurant Wedding

Cuba Libre Restaurant Wedding

A whirlwind of a time frame – we met with Jessica’s mother to discuss flowers just a month before the wedding! – but the Cuba Libre restaurant wedding was pretty as a picture nonetheless. Jessica’s bridal bouquet was filled with the soft romantic textures of Cafe au Lait dahlia, peach and pale pink roses and stock with a hint of clean-lined modern with white mini- calla lilies and orchids. The bridesmaids’ bouquets featured a mix of light pink and white rose,s dahlia, stock, lisianthus and callas – all perfect choices for a summer wedding.

The ceremony took place at the Dunbarton Chapel at Howard University, where two lush floral designs flanked the couple while they took their vows. For the reception, the couple chose Cuba Libre Restaurant, kicking things up a notch with tropical-inspired designs of green and exotic blooms. Long tables featured garlands of nagi ruscus foliage. Glass cylinder vases featured a greenery mix of baby monstera leaves accented with aspidistra and touches of India tips. For small cocktail tables, contemporary-styled bud vases held simple white cymbidium or white phalaenopsis orchid blooms.

The Old Masters knew something we’re bringing back. ✨

Clusters of plums, grapes, even nuts add to the lush tablescape of flowers, the kind of abundance that belongs in a Caravaggio painting. Rich, tactile, and impossibly beautiful in person. It’s one of our favorite ways to add depth and drama to a wedding table without sacrificing an ounce of elegance.

Twenty years in business means there are people whose stories become part of yours.

When former Petal’s Edge designer Bree got married in Hendersonville, North Carolina, we knew we wanted to more than just present. So we loaded up supplies, traveled south, turned an Airbnb into a temporary design studio, sourced flowers from a local wholesaler (hats off to Coward Wholesale Flowers for being so helpful in addition to our local ride or die @potomacfloralwholesale), and spent the week creating wedding flowers far from home.

It’s not every day that a florist gets to design for one of their own. The miles, logistics, and long days were worth it to celebrate someone who spent years helping create beautiful weddings for others.

This time, it was Bree’s turn, and we couldn’t be happier.
