Elegant Lyceum Wedding

Petal's Edge DC | Lyceum Wedding Alexandria, VA | Washington DC Wedding Florist

Blues and greys were everywhere at David’s and Josh’s elegant Lyceum wedding in Alexandria, VA. We were honored to create classic floral decor for these handsome grooms and to help set the stage for a wonderful celebration of love!

David’s and Josh’s boutonnieres featured blue thistle accented with silver-hued dusty miller, while the rest of the boutonnieres incorporated light blue delphinium accented with bear grass. For the mothers and the best woman, we created corsages of ivory roses and spray roses for a timeless effect. For the couple’s adorable flower girl, we filled a white wicker basket with a design of blue thistle, finished with silver satin ribbon.

 

Two striking ceremony altar arrangements made a perfect statement for the elegant Lyceum wedding. Set in copper urns atop pedestals, contained a mix of dark and light blue hydrangea, dark and light blue delphinium, blue thistle, light blue nigella, and dusty miller foliage, with touches of lemon leaf foliage. At the reception, elegant and understated centerpieces shone at each guest table, with lush wreaths of dark blue hydrangea, light blue delphinium, light blue thistle, and silver-hued dusty miller foliage surrounding lanterns provided by the grooms. Meanwhile, David and Josh themselves dined at a classic sweetheart table, accented with a small silver revere bowl filled with a textured design of the same gorgeous blue blooms showcased throughout the wedding. For a sweet finale, we festooned the wedding cake with delicate wedding flowers in a blue and grey color palette.

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨ 

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea! 

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨ 

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level 

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance
