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.

It’s Bike to Work Day — and while we usually pedal toward petals, we couldn’t resist sharing this creative twist from Elle & Bryan, one of our couples who wheeled their love of cycling straight into the ceremony. 🚲✨ 

Elle & Bryan’s wedding at Dumbarton House was full of charm, personal touches, and one especially fun nod to their love of cycling. Bicycle wheels became sculptural backdrops, proving that when it comes to personal touches, there’s no such thing as too niche.

Designing florals around unexpected objects? That’s our lane. And yes — it was all uphill in the best possible way.

A night of mystery and masquerade — and the perfect way to fête the 10th anniversary of The Scout Guide Alexandria and the launch of Vol. 10! ✨ 

We loved adding our signature touch of floral drama to this year’s launch party at the Hotel Heron. From a moody and dramatic entrance piece to a flower-filled car, sculptural arrangements on cocktail tables and elevated bar arrangements casting feathered shadows and moody textures, this event let us play in a world of whimsy and wonder.

We’re proud to be part of a guide that champions small businesses and celebrates creativity in our community. Supporting local means investing in the makers, doers, and dreamers who make Alexandria vibrant — and The Scout Guide does just that, beautifully. Cheers to Vol. 10! Special thanks to Sarah and Claire for always being so supportive and encouraging.
