Fall Hotel Monaco Wedding

Want to see the perfect autumn wedding palette of burgundy, champagne and cream with touches of sage green for a muted fall feel? Look no further than Kari and Brian’s delightful fall Hotel Monaco wedding in DC. Kari’s bridal bouquet featured a range of burgundy tones expressed by dahlia, roses, spray roses, and orchids accented with pops of champagne roses, cream stock and lisianthus, and sage silver dollar eucalyptus foliage. The maid of honor and junior bridesmaid carried similar bouquets to the bride. The groom wore a burgundy rose boutonniere accented with silver dollar eucalyptus. The remaining men sported champagne roses with silver dollar eucalyptus.

Guests were greeted at the site by a hand blown, flared rim glass vase filled with a dramatic, spraying arrangement – the perfect fall Hotel Monaco wedding statement piece. The design featured tall curly willow branches, white open cut calla lilies, cream stock, burgundy gladiola and snapdragons, and finished with red mokara and James Storei orchids and silver dollar eucalyptus. The tables alternated between tall and low table arrangements, taking advantage of the unique vaulted ceilings in the room. (The tall centerpiece designs flanked the aisle during the ceremony.) The tall designs featured a lush, tailored mix of hydrangea, stock, lisianthus, roses and spray roses in shades of burgundy and cream finished with silver dollar eucalyptus. The low wedding centerpieces featured a similar mix of flowers. A festive design of wedding flowers crowned the top of the cake with a demo-cascade of flowers accenting the tiers.

When Clara & John shared their vision of adding just a touch of blue to their wedding at DAR, we took that spark and ran with it. Instead of reaching for blue flowers, we leaned into chinoiserie — weaving in patterned porcelain vessels to add depth, interest, and that perfect pop of blue. It’s what we love most: taking your ideas and elevating them into something layered, unexpected, and completely yours.⁣
⁣
P.S. - Did you know there`s a cabinet at DAR that holds a collection of blue transferware dishes and container? Look for it the next time you`re there!⁣

For Lara & Owen`s ceremony, we collaborated with @modernfoliage and @voileandveil to create a truly immersive and unforgettable moment filled with lush draping a greenery, symphony of plants and, of course, florals. It’s always such a joy to transform this iconic space — and we’re thrilled to be returning to NMWA this weekend for another gorgeous celebration. Follow along in stories for a behind-the-scenes look at what we’re designing next!⁣

Double duty, done beautifully.

For Claire & Sean’s wedding at the Dockmaster’s Building, we created a floral garland for their ceremony arch. Eleegant, lush, and just dramatic enough to hold its own against the waterfront backdrop.

But we weren’t done yet. That same garland made a second appearance, repurposed to trail down the length of their head table. Thoughtful, sustainable, and completely gorgeous. Because we believe a good floral moment deserves an encore.

Sage and lavender never looked so chic 💜🌿 Alex & Andrew’s wedding at the Alexandrian was a perfect study in color-forward design. We loved how the bold linens played off the florals—especially those dreamy taper candles echoing the palette. Under a clear-top tent, the entire space felt fresh, modern, and effortlessly romantic. Proof that thoughtful details and color can transform a space into something unforgettable.⁣

Tall, bold, and unapologetically pink 💖

Caren & Aaron’s wedding at the always-stylish Hotel Monaco DC was a maximalist floral dream! Think king protea, astilbe, tulips, succulents, even pineapple accents!🍍 All artfully arranged to bring their vibrant vision to life. We had so much fun leaning into texture, color, and unexpected elements in this design.

If you’ve got big ideas, we’re all ears (and petals! And even pineapples 😜 ). Tap the link in bio to start dreaming!⁣

Some weddings are magic. ✨

This one just took a cart, a loading dock, stairs, ramps, 250 feet of hallway, and a very determined florist team.

Here’s what you don’t see in the final gallery: the cardio, the zip ties, the setup hustle. But would we do it all again for this dreamy blue-and-white moment we created for Jenni & Aaron at the Omni Shoreham? Absolutely.
