Modern Purple Omni Shoreham Wedding

Modern Purple Omni Shoreham Wedding

Petal's Edge DC | Real Wedding at Omni Shoreham DC | Washington DC Wedding Florist

Molly and Eric’s modern purple Omni Shoreham wedding, with ceremony and reception both at the property in Washington, DC, was a sophisticated and elegant celebration in tones of purple and white!

The beautiful bride carried a stunning bouquet in her chosen palette of white, lavender, and purple, with blooms that included ivory Vendela roses, lavender Ocean Song roses, ivory spray roses, purple lisianthus, and purple stock. A gorgeous locket with a picture of Molly’s mom was tucked into her bouquet for an incredibly sweet, sentimental touch. For Molly’s bridesmaids, we created simpler bouquets of white and ivory roses. Meanwhile, the handsome groom wore a simply perfect boutonniere of purple lisianthus accented with bear grass, while other boutonnieres featured a white rose with bear grass.

A major highlight of Molly’s and Eric’s heartfelt ceremony was the breathtaking chuppah under which they exchanged their vows! The chuppah for the modern purple Omni Shoreham wedding consisted of four gold-painted poles that supported a canopy of natural white silk dupioni, the chuppah was adorned with a dramatic spray of white hydrangea, ivory and lavender roses, ivory spray roses, purple stock, and seeded eucalyptus foliage.

For Molly’s and Eric’s modern purple Omni Shoreham wedding reception, we created a number of special arrangements. In addition to a striking display on the placecard table, we also created a sweet, textured design consisting of white hydrangea, sunflowers, lavender roses, purple stock, purple lisianthus, and ivory spray roses for the guestbook table. Designing gorgeous centerpieces is one of our favorite parts of designing weddings, and for Molly and Eric’s reception, our arrangements were a perfect mix of modern and classic. We filled gold ceramic square vases with white hydrangea, purple stock, lavender roses, ivory spray roses, white larkspur, and purple lisianthus, with touches of seeded eucalyptus. Working with Molly and Eric (and their exquisite taste!) was a dream, and we congratulate them both on their marriage!

We call it the creep…

Everyone talks about the rising cost of flowers, but there’s another story behind the numbers: time. Over the years, wedding timelines have stretched. First looks, detail shots, getting-ready portraits, ceremony and reception setups starting hours earlier than before, and more complex with event breakdowns. Florists are often still paid by the piece, not by the hour, yet the hours have multiplied.

What was once a 2 to 4 hour delivery day has quietly turned into a 12 to 16 hour production days with setup, standby, and late-night breakdowns. And flowers are still perishable, so they cannot sit out waiting for the photography timeline to catch up.

When couples ask why flowers cost more now, this is part of the answer. It is not just about stems or supply chains. It is the labor, the logistics, and the reality that perfection takes time, often a lot more than it used to.

Did you know that baby’s breath can be a showstopper all on its own? 🌟 

At Meaghan & David’s Willard Hotel wedding, we used this delicate bloom to create everything from airy, elevated centerpieces to rings of the tiny flowers to circle candles and lush runners on the head table. The result? A look that’s both ethereal and elegant, proving that baby’s breath can be more than just a filler flower. It’s a versatile, often budget-friendly option that brings a soft, romantic vibe to any wedding. Who’s ready to fall in love with this understated beauty? 😍
