Romantic Fall Wedding at Hotel Monaco DC

Romance filled the air at Alexandra and John’s fall wedding celebration at Hotel Monaco DC, a venue we return to again and again for its warmth, character, and sense of occasion. Their day felt classic and intimate, with floral design that leaned into the richness of the season while remaining refined and balanced.

For the ceremony, Alexandra carried an elegant French hand-tied bouquet designed in deep, romantic tones. Burgundy dahlias and Black Magic roses were layered with burgundy hellebores and ranunculus, softened by peach Juliet garden roses and peach stock. Seeded eucalyptus added movement and texture, giving the bouquet an organic, natural finish. John’s boutonniere echoed the softness of the design, featuring a white mini calla lily accented with seeded eucalyptus.

The ceremony space was framed with dramatic floral arrangements in burgundy and blush, creating a romantic backdrop that enhanced the moment without overpowering it. The rich tones added warmth and depth, perfectly suited to a fall wedding at Hotel Monaco.

As guests transitioned into the reception, they were welcomed by a striking arrangement displayed in a gold urn at the place card table. The asymmetrical design featured burgundy dahlias, Juliet garden roses, ivory spray roses, burgundy astilbe, and a mix of seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus. The composition felt lush yet intentional, setting the tone for the evening ahead.

Guest tables were styled in a modern, elegant way with a classic sensibility. Glass cylinder vases held monochromatic arrangements of burgundy blooms, allowing the depth of color to take center stage. The streamlined presentation complemented the venue’s interiors while reinforcing the romantic atmosphere of the celebration.

Alexandra and John’s wedding at Hotel Monaco DC was timeless and expressive, a fall celebration defined by thoughtful design, rich seasonal color, and an effortless sense of romance.

My social media is currently being populated with the news of Uranus leaving Taurus and what than means. I am certainly no expert astrologer, but if last weekend is a harbinger of things to come, it’s going to be a fantastic new period! We’ve weathered many challenges over the last eight years, things that have encouraged us to change and innovate, and Petal’s Edge is a stronger and more versatile company for it. 🥂

Oh the places we go! Working inside Folger Shakespeare Library is such a full circle moment for me. I once worked in art museums, so being back in a space like this (now with flowers?!) just makes me so happy. Truly honored to be part of this Friday’s gala 💫 , but in the meantime, here’s a throwback to last year’s event!

Time is not a florist’s friend. From the time this ever so perishable product arrives to when we set things up in meager timelines while dodging people - not to mention waiting for others to finish their part before we can start ours… Let’s just say it’s a challenge, but one we meet head on each week with ingenuity. Planning, pre-planning and even more planning. It’s not always sexy but it gets the job done.

Alexandra & Brian’s wedding at River Farm had that early summer, just-gathered feeling that never tries too hard but still feels completely considered. The palette stayed soft. Think pastel wildflowers with a little movement, nothing too tight or overly styled. Everything felt natural to the setting.⁣
⁣
The ceremony unfolded under the big tree with an arch that felt like it had grown there, loose and garden-inspired in shades of pale pink, light blue, cream, and lavender. It set the tone for the entire day.⁣
⁣
For the reception, long tables were filled all the way down with milk glass, blue mason jars, and pieces of depression glass, each one holding a slightly different mix of flowers. It created that full, abundant look that makes a space feel warm and inviting, while still leaving room for everything the evening needed to hold.⁣
Personal, relaxed, and quietly layered in a way that lets the setting - and the people in it - shine.⁣

It’s planning season for the Scout Guide launch party, and we couldn’t be more excited. 💃🏻

Any guesses on what we’ll see this year? 🤔
