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.
We are so happy for Alexandra and John, and wish all the love shared on their romantic fall Hotel Monaco wedding day to be with them throughout their lives!
