Modern Red Wedding

LGBTQ+weddings can mean nontraditional attire, like the black dress and suit these wedding couple opted for

Andrea and Marty wed one winter’s day in December with a rich scheme of red, black and white well suited to the modern red wedding at the W Hotel.  One of the sweetest things about Andrea and Marty was in how they wanted to weave meaning into some of their flowers.  For example, to celebrate the 12 years they had spent together, it was very important that Marty’s bouquet held exactly 12 roses.

The ceremony took place in front of the ballroom’s fireplace, which featured a series of glass-enclosed pillar candles of varying heights across the length of the mantle.  Flanking either side of the riser were dramatic, monochromatic designs of red flowers in black glass vases – red French tulips, roses and anemone.  A dramatic black runner was accented with red rose petals scattered along either side of the aisle.  Pillar candles graduating in height lined the aisle.

A striking white glass vase on the escort card table held a design of red orchids and tulips.  Andrea and Marty wanted to keep an intimate scale for the reception, and so chose low designs for the dinner tables.  The centerpieces alternated between white cube vases with red flowers, and clusters of three glass rectangle vases with monobotanic designs of roses, anemone, tulips, ranunculus or orchids.  The cake, with its intricate, black graphic design, was finished with clusters of red spray roses. The palette made for an exceptionally elegant modern red wedding celebration.

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.

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!

A ceremony space that proves minimal can still be magical. 🌿✨

Amanda & Matthew exchanged vows beneath a ceiling accented with smilax and twinkle lights, and a backdrop of Italian ruscus. Two wine barrels grounded the scene, each topped with loose, organic arrangements in soft winter whites and lush greens. So perfectly at home in this modern winery space!

Simple. Airy. Effortlessly romantic. Just how we like it.
