Gatsby Inspired Omni Wedding

The Omni’s garden is a truly beautiful space for a wedding ceremony made even more gorgeous when the weather is perfect. This elegant fall wedding was inspired by the luxe style of the 1920’s and The Great Gatsby. Shades of burgundy, eggplant, champagne and sage green were used throughout the flowers. Accents of pearls and gold added to the theme.

The bride’s bouquet featured eggplant calla lilies, Black Magic roses, burgundy dahlias, accented with champagne toned roses and seeded eucalyptus. Large pearl pins finished with bouquet and kept with the theme. For the bridesmaids, a bit of cream colored stock was added to the mix to give theirs an overall lighter feel.

The ceremony featured a simple chuppah erected in front of the Omni’s classic gazebo. Elegant posies of dahlias, roses and stock in shades of cream, champagne and burgundy accented with seeded eucalyptus draped from the top front corners of the structure.

The table centerpieces featured a striking mix of high and low styles, with the tall centerpieces adding antique green hydrangea to the mix of burgundy, eggplant and champagne roses and dahlias. Pearls were draped elegantly around the base of the flowers to add to the 1920’s theme. Low centerpieces in gold gold containers finished the dramatic look. A can’t miss? That cake from Fancy Cakes by Leslie. Just completes the look of the day!

Some venues need flowers that make a statement. Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is all about atmosphere.⁣
⁣
The exposed brick, warm lighting, and intimate scale already bring so much character to the space, so we leaned into layered candlelight, soft movement, and garden inspired flowers that felt romantic without overpowering the architecture.⁣

One of our favorite DC venues for couples who want their wedding to feel elegant, warm, and completely immersive.⁣

September, we’ve missed you!

September weddings get to have it both way: Summer flowers are still hanging around. Dahlias are at their absolute BEST. And little hints of fall start making their way into our buckets.

This is the month we start getting excited about foliage again. Berries, branches, grasses, pods, vines - all those slightly weird botanical things that make an arrangement more interesting!

Hello again, September!!

No inspiration photos. No flower list. No detailed design brief. Just a color palette and the freedom to run with it.

We took fuchsia, purple, and blue and turned them into layers of saturated color, unexpected textures, and flowers that made the whole room feel alive.

There’s something pretty magical about a client giving us a direction and then getting out of the way. They know their brand. We know flowers. And this is what happens when everyone trusts each other to do what they do best.

Give us the colors. We’ll take it from there. 🌸
