Not every couple is lucky enough to wake up to the perfect weather for their perfect outdoor ceremony. But that is not reason to fret! Somtimes the plan shifts. Laura & Ben`s outdoor ceremony at the Omni Shoreham moved inside at the last moment, and it turned out to be perfect all the same. We built a custom chuppah to frame their nuptials, overlaid with branches and flowers to echo a natural garden arbor. Swipe to see more of what made this one of our favorite spring weddings! (And they still managed to sneak in a few outdoor photos. 😉)⁣

Let me go on record saying: when it comes to candles, especially in winter, more is more. 😉

Alexa, please play Christmas music.

Too early? I confess. I’m a Thanksgiving purist. It’s literally my favorite holiday. But as a floral designer, I’m often living a season ahead. Thinking of spring when it’s winter, or fall in the heat of summer. And yes, plotting winter holiday decor when it’s Halloween (if not the 4th of July!)

But something about the quiet in the air today and news of snow in places nearby is all it took to awaken my holiday spirit and launch holiday planning mode! If it takes you more to get you in the mood, maybe Sonja & Mike’s Christmas wedding from a few years ago will do the trick!

There’s a reason the garden aesthetic endures. Sydney & Adam’s Omni Shoreham wedding proved that abundance doesn’t mean excess. It’s about balance. Layers of red, peach, and champagne tones brought warmth to the Palladian Room’s formality, while trailing jasmine and geranium softened its edges.⁣

We often talk about ‘garden style’ as if it’s effortless, but true ease comes from intention, that blend of movement, proportion, restraint. Here, that translated into florals that felt alive within the space, grounded yet romantic.⁣
A study in color, texture, and timing. The kind of classic that never fades.⁣

Dreaming of a wedding that’s equal parts classic and chic? Take a cue from Meaghan & David’s stunning celebration at the Willard Hotel! 🌿✨ ⁣
⁣
Imagine walking down a candlelit ceremony aisle lined with delicate petals, followed by a reception where the Crystal Ballroom transforms into a floral wonderland. Tall centerpieces of baby’s breath creating a cloud-like effect, alternating tables adorned with rings of baby`s breath circling white pillar candles, and a dramatic runner of baby`s breath and cnadles going down the length of the head table. Meaghan & David`s wedding was the epitome of romance. ⁣

If you’re envisioning a day that’s timeless, elegant, and utterly romantic, let’s make it happen together! 💫⁣

The season for sparkle begins. ✨ From Thanksgiving dinners to New Year’s soirées, November is when party plans come to life — and our design calendar shifts from bouquets to ballrooms.

Our installation at the Watergate Hotel mixed metallics and white roses in sculptural form - proof that holiday design can be both organic and glamorous. Because at its core, festivity is about transformation: turning a space into a feeling, a table into a gathering, and light into warmth.
