Elegant Meridian House Wedding

Kate and Sam’s classic and elegant Meridian House wedding featured a palette of cream and ivory tones punctuated with touches of coral and yellow. Swoon! Kate’s bouquet featured peonies, garden roses, lisianthus, tulips and stock with touches of succulents and eucalyptus. It was at once a spring yet vintage vibe. The buttery yellow hues continued in the bridesmaid bouquets.

The ceremony in the loggia was the epitome of an elegant Meridian House wedding, with two large urns positioned on the pedestals. The seating for dinner was intimate, with long tables holding petite designed in stemmed vases interspersed with floating candles.

See below some of the stunning images by Documentary Associates. Don’t Kate and Sam look like something out of a movie?

Let me go on record saying: when it comes to candles, especially in winter, more is more. 😉

Alexa, please play Christmas music.

Too early? I confess. I’m a Thanksgiving purist. It’s literally my favorite holiday. But as a floral designer, I’m often living a season ahead. Thinking of spring when it’s winter, or fall in the heat of summer. And yes, plotting winter holiday decor when it’s Halloween (if not the 4th of July!)

But something about the quiet in the air today and news of snow in places nearby is all it took to awaken my holiday spirit and launch holiday planning mode! If it takes you more to get you in the mood, maybe Sonja & Mike’s Christmas wedding from a few years ago will do the trick!

There’s a reason the garden aesthetic endures. Sydney & Adam’s Omni Shoreham wedding proved that abundance doesn’t mean excess. It’s about balance. Layers of red, peach, and champagne tones brought warmth to the Palladian Room’s formality, while trailing jasmine and geranium softened its edges.⁣

We often talk about ‘garden style’ as if it’s effortless, but true ease comes from intention, that blend of movement, proportion, restraint. Here, that translated into florals that felt alive within the space, grounded yet romantic.⁣
A study in color, texture, and timing. The kind of classic that never fades.⁣

Dreaming of a wedding that’s equal parts classic and chic? Take a cue from Meaghan & David’s stunning celebration at the Willard Hotel! 🌿✨ ⁣

Imagine walking down a candlelit ceremony aisle lined with delicate petals, followed by a reception where the Crystal Ballroom transforms into a floral wonderland. Tall centerpieces of baby’s breath creating a cloud-like effect, alternating tables adorned with rings of baby`s breath circling white pillar candles, and a dramatic runner of baby`s breath and cnadles going down the length of the head table. Meaghan & David`s wedding was the epitome of romance. ⁣

If you’re envisioning a day that’s timeless, elegant, and utterly romantic, let’s make it happen together! 💫⁣

The season for sparkle begins. ✨ From Thanksgiving dinners to New Year’s soirées, November is when party plans come to life — and our design calendar shifts from bouquets to ballrooms.

Our installation at the Watergate Hotel mixed metallics and white roses in sculptural form - proof that holiday design can be both organic and glamorous. Because at its core, festivity is about transformation: turning a space into a feeling, a table into a gathering, and light into warmth.

Designing flowers is one part skill, one part intuition, and a *whole lot* of listening! Every couple comes with a different level of exactly how much they`ve thought their design through. We especially love when someone hands us a vague idea of a ~vibe~ and trusts us to make it real. And to then follow up with the kindest words like this? It`s everything.⁣

"Gerry took what was an overall concept in my brain for our wedding and came up with a beautiful proposal and showed up on our wedding day with expertise and proficiency. I was so happy to have her guidance and help, the flowers and centerpieces were absolutely stunning, and it was so great how she was able to take the ~vibe~ I described to her and truly bring it to life. She is extremely responsive and professional and I would recommend anyone who is planning a wedding or event to go with Petal`s Edge!! Thank you Gerry!!!” - Judith⁣
