Modern Spring Wedding at Hotel Monaco DC

Modern Spring Hotel Monaco Wedding

It’s no secret that we absolutely love working with richly textured flowers and gorgeous colors, The floral palette for Emily and Kevin’s spring Hotel Monaco wedding were fun, bright and fresh! The contrast between the bold colors of the coral charm peonies and the soft neutrals of the anemone and ranunculus was simply captivating. Emily’s cascading bouquet was unusual, as instead of being traditional and structured, it took on an organic feel with wisps of ruscus and jasmine vine creating movement. Stunning blooms in shades of coral, peach and white included peonies, garden roses, stock, ranunculus, anemone, and sweet pea. The final design truly popped against Emily’s delicate gown, and we loved the effect! For Emily’s maid of honor, we designed a French hand-tied bouquet in a complementary style, featuring the same gorgeous array of coral, peach and white florals.

Hotel Monaco Wedding Ceremony

Wedding ceremonies at the Hotel Monaco are always breathtaking, and Emily and Kevin’s was no exception! As guests arrived for the spring Hotel Monaco wedding , they were welcomed by a richly textured, asymmetrical arrangement of coral peonies, peach garden roses, peach stock, coral snapdragons, and white hydrangea, accented with lemon leaf, jasmine vine and Italian ruscus foliage and displayed in a classic urn. We flanked their ceremony area with two beautiful arrangements displayed on pedestals, pulling in the soft yet vibrant color palette of the other wedding flowers.

Modern Wedding Reception

To play up the modern feel for the spring Hotel Monaco wedding, clean-lined silver mirror cube vases were chosen to hold the centerpiece flowers. Filled with coral roses, coral tulips, peach stock, white anemone, coral snapdragons, coral sweet pea, and organic touches of Italian ruscus and jasmine vine, the effect was bold and colorful. A sweet coral peony crowns their wedding cake was the ideal finishing touch to a truly delectable wedding!

The fountain garden at Woodlawn + Pope Leighey House is one of our favorite spots on earth, and cocktail hour here just hits differently. 🤍 Urn arrangements, cocktail table florals, a custom seating area, string lights, an escort card wall... the details are what transform a beautiful space into a full experience. Because details make the difference — always. ✨🌿⁣

A palette pulled straight from a glass of bourbon. 🥃

Sculptural calla lilies, trailing amaranthus, grapes and peaches. Modern, organic, a little decadent, and just a little moody.

Designed for Basil Hayden, and proof that sometimes the most interesting thing you can put in a floral arrangement isn’t a flower.

We loved working with @basilhayden to bring this together.

There’s just something about St. Francis Hall.⁣

Maybe it’s the brick. Maybe it’s the windows. Maybe it’s those twinkle lights that somehow make every wedding feel a little bit magical.⁣
⁣
For Erin & Joel`s wedding, we loved the contrast of all that warm architecture with cool blues, crisp whites and lots of greenery. Nothing fighting the room. Nothing trying too hard. Just really pretty flowers in a really wonderful space.⁣
⁣
And honestly, we could design here a hundred times and still get excited walking through those doors.⁣

An outdoor ceremony followed by a beautiful ballroom reception? The St. Regis makes a very persuasive case.⁣
⁣
The Astor Terrace and Astor Ballroom give us two different settings to consider, and I love finding the floral thread between them. A color carried through. A favorite flower appearing again. A shape that feels familiar when guests move inside. You get the excitement of a new space, with flowers that feel like they belong to the same celebration.⁣
⁣
Those connections are some of my favorite parts of wedding design, and for Katie and Doug, I love how they went a step further with incorporating hand painted ceramics form Katie`s homeland. ⁣
