Dumbarton House Georgetown Wedding

If you have ever been to Dumbarton House in Georgetown, you know how charming the place is. When working with Sara and Matt, we were sure to create a classic wedding look that complemented the elegant venue.

The classic Dumbarton House wedding was designed in a timeless palette of bridal whites and ivories. Sarah’s elegant, bouquet showcased fluffy white hydrangea, ivory garden roses and white lisianthus blossoms. Her maid of honor carried a beautiful bouquet of hydrangea, roses and lisianthus. Matt and his groomsmen looked sharp in boutonnières created from an ivory rose accented with Italian ruscus foliage.

As guests arrived for the classic Dumbarton House wedding, they were greeted by two elegant boxwood monogram wreaths on the front gates. Two urns flanked the ceremony area, each filled with white hydrangea, white stock, ivory roses and spray roses, white lisianthus, and white larkspur. Lemon leaf foliage provided a contrasting accent.

A striking arrangement beside the seating chart welcomed guests to the classic Dumbarton House wedding reception. White hydrangea, white stock, ivory roses and spray roses, and white lisianthus, finished with touches of lemon leaf foliage, were displayed beautifully in an elegant urn.

For the guest tables, elegant garlands with ivory roses and spray roses were spread across the length of each long table, spilling to the floor on each side. A mix of soft blooms, showcased throughout the wedding, topped Sarah’s and Matt’s pristine white wedding cake.

Roses may dominate Valentine’s Day, especially the red ones. But anthurium? She’s the modern muse.⁣
⁣
Heart-shaped, glossy, and sculptural, anthurium comes in creamy whites, ballet pinks, coral, chocolate, even deep oxblood. It symbolizes love and abundance, but with an editorial edge that feels fresh and fashion-forward.⁣
⁣
No wonder it’s had a major glow-up in recent years. Romantic, but make it art. 💘⁣

Petal’s Edge didn’t always do Valentine’s Day.

The pandemic made one thing very clear: we couldn’t build a thriving business around one season or one type of event. Expanding beyond weddings wasn’t dramatic. It was just smart. It pushed us to think differently, to design differently, and to show up for our clients in more moments than just the aisle.

The shift felt natural because we are love junkies at heart. After years of creating wedding days, bringing that same intention to Valentine’s bouquets, anniversary surprises, and birthday deliveries was an easy extension of what we already do.

One of my favorite things is seeing a past couple’s name pop up in our orders, or a family member calling to celebrate a couple whose wedding we flowered years ago. (Or even a panicked Saturday email asking if we can help.) That continuity, that trust, that full-circle moment… it never gets old.

Valentine’s Day is this week. If you’ve been meaning to send something beautiful, this is your nudge. 💗 😘 Order online at ShopPetalsEdge.com

Beautiful spaces exist everywhere. You can book a great restaurant or walk into a well-designed hotel any day of the week. But what is it about weddings that feel so extraordinary? Yes, love is the obvious answer. Of course. But truly, when else in your life do you find yourself surrounded by flowers?!?! A wedding is one of those few moments we decide that a single day is worthy of transformation. To fill the room with a most fleeting and precious medium - flowers - knowing they’re here just long enough to make the moment unforgettable.

In discussing final changes, one of our couples had a note of hesitation in her voice, worried her palette might set a different mood than intended. Not seasonal enough? Too austere?

But here’s the thing: mood can be a matter of perspective. Which brings us to this wedding: once upon a time, orange was typecast as a strictly fall color. But flowers don’t follow rules. They bloom wildly, confidently, year-round! There are orange flowers in every season and in recent years, we’ve seen orange blooms show up to spring weddings, as warm oranges at summer soirées, and of course they’re still the favored guest at autumn affairs. Each time, the hue brings something fresh. Joy. Energy. That just-right edge.

Your color story should feel like you. In fact, for Olivia & David’s wedding, our bride’s mother shared that the color palette had been the one in her daughter’s childhood bedroom. A vibrant floral story that she had been living with all along. That’s what flowers can do. Pull memories forward, stitch generations together and turn a wedding into something deeply personal. And if it happens to challenge a few outdated ideas? Even better. 😉
