Romantic Hotel Monaco Wedding

Romantic Hotel Monaco Wedding

Tyler and Michael’s wedding at the Hotel Monaco in Washington, DC was nothing short of a floral dream! Held in the breathtaking Paris Ballroom, their ceremony was set within the iconic central rotunda, which provided the perfect backdrop for their modern yet romantic celebration.

Located in the heart of Washington, DC, the Hotel Monaco is known for its blend of historic architecture and modern luxury. A National Historic Landmark, the neoclassical building was originally constructed in 1839 as the General Post Office building. It was the first all-marble building in Washington DC. The venue’s Paris Ballroom, with its soaring ceilings and elegant rotunda, offered a timeless backdrop for Tyler and Michael’s nuptials. 

The grooms both wore petite boutonnieres made of delicate pink spray roses—a soft, subtle touch that added just the right amount of color to their classic wedding day attire. For their vows, a lush floral semi-circle framed the couple, creating a romantic, garden-like atmosphere in the grand space. The semi-circle design featured white larkspur, white lisianthus, Quicksand and Sweet Eskimo roses, ivory spray roses, and white stock finished with lemon leaf and Italian ruscus foliage that brought freshness and natural beauty to the ceremony. The gentle curve of the floral ring created a perfect focal point for this heartfelt moment.

The reception florals carried over this theme of elegance and romance, with classic clear compotes adorning each table. Each centerpiece featured white hydrangea, white stock, White O’Hara garden roses, Quicksand roses, light pink spray roses, light pink astilbe, and touches of chocolate lace flower for a vintage touch. Sage green accents of silver dollar eucalyptus added a pop of texture to the otherwise classic designs, elevating the tablescapes to modern sophistication.

One of the best features of this wedding design was the way the florals transitioned seamlessly from ceremony to reception. The stunning floral semi-circle from the ceremony was repurposed in front of the sweetheart table, continuing the romantic feel while adding a lush and luxurious touch to the reception space.

Tyler and Michael’s Hotel Monaco wedding was a beautiful combination of classic romance and modern design, and the florals made their day one to remember.

Maybe green really is having its moment. Between the Yellow Brick Road yellows, the poppy-red anemones, and a reception drenched in layered greens, this Oz-inspired spring event felt like a preview of the color conversations designers are having now.

From emerald to chartreuse to the softest sage, green can be grounding, glamorous, or a little bit wild — sometimes all at once. And with the Wicked sequel stirring up the color world again, we’re curious…

Which shade is your leading character this season?
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!
