Irish Flair for Hotel Monaco Wedding

It was important to Brianna and Brent to honor their heritage for their wedding. From deep greens and golds to shamrocks and a March wedding date, we think we can safely say they had an Irish Hotel Monaco wedding. The touch of Irish flair took this wonderful couple’s celebration from ordinary to extraordinary! Brianna’s bouquet was designed to be timeless and elegant, as was every element of the couple’s wedding. White peonies, ivory Vendela roses, and white ranunculus were accented with whimsical green shamrocks for Irish flair. The bridesmaids carries soft bouquets of peach Juliet garden roses, Vendela roses, blush Quicksand roses, white ranunculus, and peach stock, also accented with shamrocks, for a soft contrast to their shimmering gold gowns. The boutonnieres incorporated an ivory rose with shamrocks for Brent, and champagne Quicksand roses with shamrocks for his groomsmen, each banded with a masculine black ribbon.

Luck ‘o the Irish Reception

After a stunning ceremony at St. Mary Mother of God Catholic Church, guests headed to the Hotel Monaco’s beautiful ballrooms for a party to remember! The Irish Hotel Monaco wedding featured centerpieces that complemented the couple’s taste. Like pots of leprechaun gold, elegant gold cube vases featured a rich and textured blend of white hydrangea, peach stock, ivory and blush roses, and white ranunculus, finished with shamrocks. Lush garden roses crowned the couple’s uniquely textured wedding cake, for a sweet ending to an unforgettable night!

A traditional Irish wedding blessing says, “May the meaning of this hour be fulfilled through the days and years to come,” and we can’t think of a more appropriate sentiment with which to congratulate Brianna and Brent on their marriage!

It’s Bike to Work Day — and while we usually pedal toward petals, we couldn’t resist sharing this creative twist from Elle & Bryan, one of our couples who wheeled their love of cycling straight into the ceremony. 🚲✨ 

Elle & Bryan’s wedding at Dumbarton House was full of charm, personal touches, and one especially fun nod to their love of cycling. Bicycle wheels became sculptural backdrops, proving that when it comes to personal touches, there’s no such thing as too niche.

Designing florals around unexpected objects? That’s our lane. And yes — it was all uphill in the best possible way.

A night of mystery and masquerade — and the perfect way to fête the 10th anniversary of The Scout Guide Alexandria and the launch of Vol. 10! ✨ 

We loved adding our signature touch of floral drama to this year’s launch party at the Hotel Heron. From a moody and dramatic entrance piece to a flower-filled car, sculptural arrangements on cocktail tables and elevated bar arrangements casting feathered shadows and moody textures, this event let us play in a world of whimsy and wonder.

We’re proud to be part of a guide that champions small businesses and celebrates creativity in our community. Supporting local means investing in the makers, doers, and dreamers who make Alexandria vibrant — and The Scout Guide does just that, beautifully. Cheers to Vol. 10! Special thanks to Sarah and Claire for always being so supportive and encouraging.
