Elegant Hay Adams DC Wedding

Few wedding venues are as romantic and elegant as the Hay Adams Hotel in Washington, DC, which is just one of the reasons we were thrilled to design Robin and Chuck’s flowers for their reception. Everything about the couple’s elegant Hay Adams wedding was sophisticated, including their classic winter white color palette! Creating a stunning contrast to Robin’s unique olive gown was her sophisticated, white-hued French hand-tied bouquet. Mini calla lilies were ringed with a collar of winter white astilbe and wrapped in ivory satin ribbon, finished with delicate pearl-headed pins. Chuck’s boutonnière was timeless and white as well, combining a complementary mini calla lily and winter white astilbe, wrapped in masculine black ribbon.

Reception in the John Hay Room

For the cocktail hour at the Hay Adams, we provided delicate tale arrangements consisting of artful stems of mini calla lilies, displayed in small vases. The elegant Hay Adams wedding reception remained classic, with centerpieces of lush, textured white hydrangea, white stock, ivory roses, white astilbe, white freesia, white mini calla lilies and white anemone, accented with green camelia foliage and displayed in gold mercury glass bowls. The sweet finale was a stunning cake topped with an elegant crown of mini calla lilies.

DC’s grand hotels pull out all the stops for the holidays, and we can’t get enough of the tree-lined hallway at The Mayflower Hotel. What a dreamy backdrop for our winter bride. ✨⁣

An elegant tented reception at Dumbarton House? Say no more. For Meghan & Pierce’s celebration, we designed soft, romantic centerpieces that flowed effortlessly down the head table and added movement to the round guest tables. A mix of textured greenery brought that lush, organic touch we love. It’s proof that timeless and fresh can go hand in hand. Tented weddings are stunning in any season… especially when the florals do the heavy lifting.⁣

Airy. Intentional. Unexpected.
Bouquets like this don’t just come together. They’re built with a designer’s eye and an engineer’s precision. Structured, sculptural, and perfectly imperfect.

The wired bouquet is having a moment, and we’re all in. Staying at the forefront of floral design means constantly evolving our techniques. Craftsmanship, mechanics, and keeping our skills as fresh as our stems! Modern bridal design? You’re looking at it.

Hair? Done. Makeup? Glowing. Bouquet?

A dream in toffee and white. And when the champagne tower hits just right? That’s the Petal’s Edge touch. 🍾💐

From behind-the-scenes to final frame, this shoot was full of joy, movement, and flower-filled magic. Because designing moments that feel as good as they look? That’s kind of our thing.

We’re never one to shy away from a floral moment, and at a venue like Congressional Country Club, the stakes (and the ceilings) are high. For Rebecca & Richard`s celebration, we played up the grandeur of the space with towering centerpieces and sprawling greenery that brought movement and life to each table. A timeless green-and-white palette with layers of texture gave this classic ballroom a fresh, organic twist. ⁣

Sun-drenched florals, bold texture, and one unforgettable chuppah moment.

For Aliza & Alex’s summer celebration at Oxon Hill Manor, we went full color-forward. Coral peonies were the undeniable star. Paired with wildflower-inspired details like daisies, snapdragons, freesia, and even herbs, the floral design struck that perfect balance between luxe and lighthearted.

From the birch pole chuppah trailing with blooms to vibrant, garden-style centerpieces, this tented affair radiated joyful energy - proof that color can absolutely be elevated!
