Jewel-Toned Carlyle Club Wedding

Jewel-Toned Carlyle Club Wedding

Petal's Edge DC | Washington DC Real Wedding | Hope & Jason, Carlyle Club Alexandria VA

As a floral designer, few things are more exciting than getting to work with vivid colors and unexpected blooms – we got to do just that at Hope’s and Jason’s jewel-toned Carlyle Club wedding, right in our own back yard in Alexandria, Virginia. Hope’s bridal bouquet, in particular, was a dream to design, with the most gorgeous jewel tones of burgundy, deep pink, purple, eggplant, and fuchsia. We tucked in everything from dahlias to spray roses, garden roses to scabiosa, calla lilies to anemone and more. For Hope’s bridesmaids, we used many of the same beautiful blooms to create stunning bouquets that perfectly complemented their emerald gowns. Fuschia roses made for perfect boutonnieres for Jason and the rest of the men in the wedding party.

At the jewel-toned Carlyle Club wedding reception, the guest tabled were decked out with organic, “almost rustic” but definitely elegant centerpieces in two distinct designs. Rounded arrangements of roses, spray roses, scabiosa, dahlias, thistle, callas, and stock – reminiscent of the bridesmaids’ bouquets – in square glass vases were displayed at many of the tables. On the smaller banquette tables, we provided smaller-scale versions of these arrangements in medium-height rectangular vases. For a sweet finale, we adorned Hope’s and Jason’s wedding cake with a festive floral crown of the same jewel-toned blooms.

Thank you, Hope and Jason, for engaging us to create your breathtaking wedding flowers! Congratulations again!

Sometimes a concept sweeps us off our feet. A French Rococo, Marie Antoinette-inspired wedding, alive with pinks, gilded accents, delicate feathers and lush draping - was one of those visions. 

We imagined opulence balanced with romance, every detail a love letter to history and beauty. We poured our hearts into the design… but it wasn’t meant to be. 

While we may not get to see it come to life, we’ll always be grateful for the spark of inspiration! To the one that got away, thank you for reminding us why we adore what we do. 

P.S. if your dream wedding is filled with gilded romance, you know where to find us 😉 💌 🌸 ✨
