Romantic Lavender Wedding at Mayflower

September 3, 2019

Romantic Lavender for Mayflower Hotel Wedding

There are few wedding venues as perfect as the Mayflower Hotel for a classic and elegant city wedding. With a blend of classic, cool-toned hues and a lush mix of elegant blooms, we designed a floral palette of romantic lavender for Kristin and Desmond that was perfect for their Mayflower Hotel wedding. Kristin’s bouquet held the best of spring with white peonies, Early Gray and Ocean Song roses with dusty miller foliage bringing in soft gray tones. For her maid of honor, we created a simpler and smaller version of the bridal bouquet, using white peonies, lavender roses, and dusty miller wrapped in black satin ribbon to match her dress. Desmond’s boutonniere perfectly complemented his beautiful bride’s bouquet, and consisted of an immaculate white rose accented with dusty miller and banded with black ribbon to blend into his tuxedo.

Ceremony in the Chinese Ballroom

The Chinese Ballroom at the Mayflower Hotel was transformed into a spectacular setting for Kristin and Desmond’s wedding ceremony. A pristine white fabric aisle runner provided a clean walkway for the ceremony. The entrance to the aisle opened up with two dramatic arrangements in romantic lavender, whites, and grays atop clear pilsner-style vases. A matching set flanked the ceremony area. To honor Kristin’s father, a posy of lavender and white blooms were placed on one of the seats in the front row.

Romantic Lavender Hued Reception

For the reception, the room featured an alternating centerpieces. And elevated design in romantic lavender, white and gray tones was placed on half of the tables. White hydrangea, stock spray roses and lisianthus were joined by lavender roses and dusty miller atop a fluted glass vase for a dramatic presentation. Elevated glass stands with floating candles accented the base of the centerpiece for a magical effect. To complete the room, collections of glass cylinder vases of varying heights contained tailored designs of white hydrangea and pale lavender roses. Floating candles twinkled from adjacent cylindrical vases.

Diane and Michael’s chuppah at the Westin Georgetown was a showstopper, accented with pastel blooms you don’t normally associate with fall but with enough dusty hues to feel seasonal. It was a dreamy palette of pale blue, lavender, purple, sage and soft blush. 💜✨ We couldn’t resist incorporating playful alliums (those striking purple spheres!) to add a touch of whimsy to the design.

Designing with color is one of our favorite things, and this chuppah proves how a thoughtful palette can bring warmth and joy to any season. Looking for cheery, elegant florals for your big day? Let’s chat! Schedule a complimentary consultation via the link in our bio. 💐

Romantic florals, candlelit glow, and three distinct centerpiece styles—all coming together for one dreamy reception. ✨ From lush low arrangements with flickering tapers to gold lanterns wrapped in blooms and elegant crystal candelabras accented with bud vases, each tablescape brought its own touch of magic. 🌸💫

Which style speaks to you? Or why choose—when you can mix and match for a reception that feels effortlessly layered and luxurious?

Spring is on our mind as we are underway with spring and summer wedding consultations. It makes us reminisce back to Denise and Neil’s beautiful wedding day at the Army and Navy Club. Their tall centerpieces were classic, with a hint of garden whimsy, for a romantic feel within the masculine ballroom.

We get to see one of our favorite planners Roberts & Co. today for a tasting at @armynavyclubdc And wouldn’t you know it? This wedding we did together came up in memories today!

Few things get us as excited as all the fun branches and textures that winter weddings bring. And that berry toned palette? To die for.

The epitome of chic. ✨ Sophia and Daniel were a vision —and together they looked as though they stepped straight off the pages of Vogue.

Sophia & Daniel’s ceremony chuppah was designed to feel like an ethereal dream, with clouds of baby’s breath interwoven with soft pink and antique shaded roses. 🌸 And those roses? They carried through the entire ballroom at the Willard, creating a cohesive and romantic look that left everyone in awe.

We’re thrilled this stunning day was featured in Washingtonian Weddings! 💐 A true celebration of love, beauty, and timeless style.
