Hotel Monaco Wedding with Succulents

Cynthia and Mauricio’s Hotel Monaco wedding included so many gorgeous details, we just couldn’t wait to show you! With timeless, elegant colors, lush textures, and stunning floral accents everywhere you looked, this unforgettable celebration of love showcased just about everything we adore about weddings! Our inspiration for Cynthia’s bridal bouquet was a classic, neutral palette of whites, ivories and greens. We gathered white peonies, ivory garden roses, ivory Vendela roses, white ranunculus, pale green echevaria and touches of seeded eucalyptus to create an elegant, French hand-tied bouquet wrapped in ivory ribbon. Cynthia’s beautiful bridesmaids carried similar bouquets of Vendela roses, white ranunculus, and white lisianthus with seeded eucalyptus, for a dramatic contrast against their gowns. The men weren’t left out of all the floral gorgeousness, of course – instead, they looked dapper in simple, masculine boutonnieres of white ranunculus blossoms accented with eucalyptus.

Ceremony & Reception

To greet guests at the reception, we decked out the escort card table with a striking arrangement of white hydrangea, white stock, ivory roses and spray roses, white tulips and white lisianthus, finished with eucalyptus and salal foliage in a tall gold vase. What a first impression! For added flair, we accented Cynthia’s and Mauricio’s welcome sign with an artful design of seeded eucalyptus and delicate white blooms. Cynthia’s and Mauricio’s guest tables were a study in modern elegance with a classic twist. Their low centerpieces featured gold cube vases containing richly textured designs of white hydrangea, white stock, Quicksand roses, ivory spray roses, white ranunculus and green echevaria, finished with touches of eucalyptus foliage.

As baseball season wraps, we’re celebrating a win of our own: bringing Petal’s Edge floral magic to Nationals Park for a special event. While most days take us to historic houses and grand ballrooms, we love the chance to design somewhere unexpected. Because flowers don’t just belong in gardens. They shine in stadiums too!
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.
