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 bouquet is often the first place a couple’s floral vision comes to life. It is the piece everyone notices up close, and it quietly sets the tone for the entire wedding design.⁣
⁣
For Mandana & Jan’s St. Francis Hall wedding, Mandana carried a cascading bouquet of white anemone, burgundy hanging amaranthus, roses and spray roses in shades of burgundy and cream, and burgundy protea accented with eucalyptus and jasmine vine. The shapes were bold and sculptural, which gave the bouquet a modern feeling while still feeling elegant against the historic backdrop of the hall. When a bouquet reflects the personality of the couple, it becomes more than just flowers. It becomes part of the story of the day.⁣

There’s something really special about designing flowers for a venue that already feels immersed in the landscape around it.⁣
⁣
At the Dockmaster Building, the water, sky, reflections, and light become part of the experience. The floor-to-ceiling glass and panoramic waterfront views create a setting that feels airy, modern, and completely different from the more traditional DC wedding venues we work in so often.⁣
⁣
We loved leaning into that atmosphere for Claire & Sean`s wedding with flowers that felt organic, textural, and romantic without competing with the architecture or the view.⁣

In a city known for grand beaux arts mansions and classic ballroom weddings, there’s something so refreshing about the industrial architecture of Ritz-Carlton Georgetown.⁣
The exposed brick, steel details, and warm textures create a completely different kind of romance. It feels moodier, more intimate, and unexpectedly modern while still feeling unmistakably DC.⁣
⁣
We love the design opportunities a venue like this presents. Soft, garden inspired flowers against raw architectural elements will always be one of our favorite contrasts.⁣

How did we get these lemon arrangements from Point A to Point B with everything still attached? 🍋

Plastic wrap.

Floral design is equal parts beauty, engineering, and MacGyvering. Making it pretty is one thing. Figuring out how to transport it safely is a whole other skill.
