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!

Oh how we love a room shot…

Don’t get us wrong! Give us all the delicious little flower close-ups. We want to see every ruffly petal and perfect place setting.

But then BACK UP!

Because this is the moment we’ve been thinking about all along. How do those centerpieces fill the room? Where does your eye go first? Do the tall pieces actually feel tall beneath a 20-foot ceiling?

Does the whole thing have rhythm?

Seeing all of those individual pieces finally come together into one beautiful room never, ever gets old.

Twenty-plus years in and we still get a little giddy about it.

Some venues need flowers that make a statement. Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is all about atmosphere.⁣
⁣
The exposed brick, warm lighting, and intimate scale already bring so much character to the space, so we leaned into layered candlelight, soft movement, and garden inspired flowers that felt romantic without overpowering the architecture.⁣

One of our favorite DC venues for couples who want their wedding to feel elegant, warm, and completely immersive.⁣
