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.

Where should we put flowers? It`s one of the questions couples ask us most often, and sometimes the answer is surprisingly practical!⁣
⁣
For Trevor and Jermaine`s fall wedding at the Salamander Resort in Middleburg, the celebration took place in the Culinary Garden, a beautiful outdoor space with winding paths, beautiful greenery and little spaces tucked around every corner. A gorgeous setting, but how do guests know where they`re supposed to go?⁣
⁣
Flowers, of course!⁣
⁣
We placed these fabulous fall urn arrangements atop large barrels to help guide guests through the garden. Mounds of autumn hydrangea, dahlias, garden roses and branches of bittersweet brought the most delicious shades of burgundy, rust, orange and gold to the arrangements. They looked right at home among the changing leaves, and made it easy for guests to find their way.⁣

Who needs directional signs when you can have flowers this pretty?!⁣

Fall foliage with the soft touch of pastel blooms. We could happily spend all of November working with this combination!!

Emma and Andrew’s Decatur House wedding gave us the chance to mix peach and blush roses with branches in copper, burgundy and golden yellow. Starting with that chuppah! We let the foliage reach out beyond the dark wood frame, with flowers tucked all the way down the posts.

Inside the reception, garden roses, dahlias, autumn leaves and touches of fruit filled gold compotes, alongside tables with elevated candlelight and smaller floral arrangements. Soft pinks, burnt orange, gold and plenty of texture. There was so much to love about this November wedding, and we’re especially partial to the lush foliage!

Burgundy, burnt orange, peach and toffee. Quite the color combination for a spring evening! We’d happily revisit this palette now that November is here.⁣

Because of the volume of tables at this corporate event at Union Station, we didn`t just design tall arrangements, we placed them atop gold Harlow stands in two varying heights, giving the flowers a little up-and-down movement across the East Hall. Antique green hydrangea, roses and magnolia foliage looked right at home against those mustard drapes. And those blue-and-gold floral linens? So much fun to design flowers around!!⁣
⁣
Over in the Presidential Room, generous urn arrangements and a central statement piece dressed the cocktail reception. An evening that gave us plenty of opportunities to go big with flowers, in one spectacular DC setting.⁣

When your bride describes her style as “coastal granny chic,” you KNOW we’re going to have fun with the flowers!!! 💙⁣
⁣
Think gobs of hydrangea, delphinium and garden roses, blue and white Chinoiserie vases, and plenty of candlelight. Classic, relaxed, and just the right amount of coastal granny! Consider us OBSESSED with Alexandria & Kevin`s wedding at the Riggs Hotel!!!⁣
