Romantic Lavender Wedding at Mayflower

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.

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!!!⁣
