Ritz-Carlton Georgetown DC Wedding

Like the wedding itself at the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown in DC, our couples story take place in the heart of Washington, DC, where fate intertwined the lives of Sarah-from-London and Erkan-from-Istanbul. Their love story began as their professional pursuits brought them to our fairy city. As luck would have it, the duo crossed paths in Las Vegas, which led to a proper first date upon their return to Washington, DC. Despite Sarah’s return to England after the end of her internship, the couple nurtured a two-year-long-distance relationship, weaving memories from Paris to Istanbul.

Their unique journey took an emotional turn at the Georgetown waterfront, where they stumbled upon a hidden diary in a bench. Sarah’s entry narrated their story and expressed a longing to be together. Little did she know that a year later, Erkan would propose through a new entry in that very diary.

Their journey culminated in a wedding with the theme “love is a journey” at the enchanting Ritz-Carlton Georgetown. The celebration featured a soft palette of light blue and nude tones, mirroring the couple’s romantic tale.

Sarah carried a unique bridal bouquet of classic white and ivory blooms with gentle touches of peach, champagne, and pale blue. White dahlias, peach stock, light blue delphinium, champagne Quicksand roses, and more created a captivating arrangement, wrapped in rustic burlap for an added touch.

Maid of honor and junior bridesmaid carried scaled-down versions of the bride’s bouquet, all wrapped in burlap. The groom’s boutonniere and others incorporated white roses and light blue delphinium, tied with rustic twine to complement with the bouquets.

Guests were welcomed with a striking arrangement on the escort card table, featuring a vintage blue mason jar holding a rich design of white and peach stock, champagne Quicksand roses, and more. The rustic elements of the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown in DC wedding was complemented by the industrial vibe of the venue. The guest tables exuded vintage garden elegance with blue mason jars filled with a lush mix of flowers, tying the theme together.

The exquisite wedding cake was adorned with festive clusters of flowers in shades of blue, peach, and white, creating a captivating visual feast. Every floral detail encapsulated the essence of Sarah and Erkan’s journey, making their Ritz-Carlton Georgetown wedding a celebration of love, growth, and the beautiful union of two souls.

A floral palette of rich jewel tones have a way of redefining a room... For Alex & John`s wedding at the Hotel Monaco, layers of burgundy, eggplant, and textured seasonal blooms brought depth and drama to the ceremony space. The architecture was already striking, but the flowers changed the atmosphere, creating warmth, intimacy, and focus where guests gathered. That’s the impact of investing in floral design: it goes beyond color. Flowers set the mood, shape the experience, and ensure your wedding feels unforgettable from the very first impression.⁣

Did you know that baby’s breath can be a showstopper all on its own? 🌟

At Meaghan & David’s Willard Hotel wedding, we used this delicate bloom to create everything from airy, elevated centerpieces to rings of the tiny flowers to circle candles and lush runners on the head table. The result? A look that’s both ethereal and elegant, proving that baby’s breath can be more than just a filler flower. It’s a versatile, often budget-friendly option that brings a soft, romantic vibe to any wedding. Who’s ready to fall in love with this understated beauty? 😍

Backyard weddings come with charm built in. Intimacy, laughter, the feeling of home. And flowers should be designed to meet that atmosphere! For Kristel & Jordan`s celebration, we leaned into their pastel floral palette paired with texture, and movement, keeping the palette playful but elevated. The result was a design that felt one-of-a-kind, deeply personal, and still refined. It’s proof that whether it’s a ballroom or a backyard, thoughtful floral design always sets the tone for the experience.⁣

Candlelight does something flowers can’t do on their own: it shifts the entire atmosphere. At Capitol View at 400, the skyline is already a showstopper, so we kept the florals for Rachael & Andrew`s wedding refined and layered, then added candlelight to transform the tables after dark. The flicker reflects off petals, glassware, and linens, making every detail feel more intentional. Especially in fall, when evenings arrive earlier, candles extend the life of the flowers and create a sense of intimacy that photographs beautifully.⁣

Moody palettes don’t have to wait for October. For Alexandra & Sam’s spring wedding at St. Francis Hall, we built the design on deep burgundy roses, moody mauves and deep plum fritillaria, the last a flower uniquely available in early spring. To keep the look from tipping too dark, we layered in Sahara Sensation spray roses, peach stock, and quince branches for lightness and movement. Loose and airy aisle pieces added whimsy, while a deconstructed arch and gold-rimmed candles brought romance. The result was dramatic without ever feeling heavy. Romantic, fresh, and unmistakably spring.

The secret to great floral design? Continuity, not duplication. For Natalie & Lawrence’s Woodend wedding, we reimagined the ceremony arch as a backdrop for their sweetheart table, then echoed the palette across cake florals and centerpieces. Each piece was distinct, but the entire celebration felt connected. That’s the balance we aim for: designs that don’t compete for attention, but work together to create a cohesive experience from vows to last dance.⁣
