Fairmont DC Wedding

Michelle and Sam were blessed with a gorgeous day in July for their Fairmont DC wedding. They kicked things off with a ceremony at Holy Trinity Church in Georgetown. Afterwards, guests enjoyed cocktails and a festive reception at the Fairmont DC Hotel’s Courtyard and Colonnade room.

The couple’s wedding ceremony was simple and traditional, with Michelle walking down the aisle carrying a stunning cascade bouquet in whites and lavenders, with naturally cascading stems of white phalaenopsis orchids. Her bouquet featured lavender and white roses, lavender clematis. Two traditional altar arrangements in whites and lavenders marked the altar where the couple recited their vows.

July is without a doubt HOT in Washington, DC, and so if you love the security of an indoor wedding venue and natural light, there’s not better place than the Fairmont DC for your wedding. The gorgeous Colonnade room offers 360 degrees of floor-to-ceiling windows.

Elevating Michelle and Sam’s reception, lush designs of smilax and eucalyptus accented with lavender and white roses decorated the two front columns of the Colonnade. And as if that wasn’t enough, the head table featured a 30-feet long deconstructed garland of white hydrangea, lavender and white roses, lavender and white stock, lavender clematis and touches of greenery. Alternating tall and low centerpiece designs created drama and movement within the space, and the floral palette of cool lavenders and white was the perfect solution to the July heat.

We thank you for trusting us with your vision, and wish you a lifetime of happiness!

When the bride wears black, everything else falls into place. At Lauren & Alan’s Hotel Monaco wedding, the candlelight flickered against layers of greenery, lanterns, and shadow. The palette whispered more than it spoke. White flowers wouldn’t have belonged here; this was a story told in texture, depth, and restraint.

There’s power in contrast: light against dark, softness against structure, the unexpected choice that somehow feels inevitable once you see it. The design was less about decoration and more about atmosphere. Mysterious, elegant, and entirely unforgettable.

Florals in full dramatic mode for The Scout Guide Alexandria launch party at the Hotel Heron. A trunk bursting with roses, a plum-and-black arch layered in texture and light. Modern romance with an editorial edge. The evening’s palette played with tension: shadow against shine, petals against metal.

We love when flowers step outside the ballroom and into the spotlight, blurring the line between installation and arrangement. These designs were made to stop traffic, literally and figuratively.
