Romantic River Farm Wedding

To say Aliya and Reuben were an easy going couple would be an understatement! With only three weeks before the big day, we talked flowers, discussed a design, and a mere six days later, the scheme for the flowers for their romantic River Farm wedding were designed and finalized! While Covid has posed many challenges for our couples, it didn’t keep this wedding from being anything short of magical.

Classic Palette with Blush

Aliya favored a classic palette of whites and greens with warm touches of blush, and loose textures for the bouquet. Her bouquet featured blush garden roses, blush and white roses, white ranunculus and white lisianthus accented with Italian ruscus and eucalyptus foliages.

Romantic Outdoor Ceremony

With River Farm’s lush summer garden surrounding the ceremony, we designed a floral arch full smilax and gorgeous white and blush blooms that completely looked like it belonged in the garden. It was the perfect spot against which to say “I Do.” The arch featured white and blush roses, ivory spray roses, white stock, and white lisianthus – and a few wild touches of autumn clematis vine.

Intimate Tent Reception

The reception in River Farm’s tent felt like a magical dream. Flanked by large plantings of elephant ear and other foliage, small elements such a cocktail table arrangements and floral decor for the cake meant that no detail big or small was overlooked.

We were delighted to help Aliya and Reuben celebrated their outdoor mini-wedding surrounded by their nearest and dearest. We wish you a lifetime of happiness.

No, ma’am. That’s not how any of this works…

💐✨ Wedding flower myths? We’ve heard them all. ✨

“You can just reuse the _____ flowers.”
“Faux flowers look the same.”
“Greenery is cheap, right?”

We get it. Planning a wedding comes with a lot of well-meaning advice. But when it comes to flowers, there’s a big difference between a cost-saving hack and a costly mistake.

At Petal’s Edge, we design with intention, experience, and artistry. We’re not here to upsell. We’re here to guide you through what works, what doesn’t, and what’s actually worth it. Because your flowers should feel just as thoughtful as the rest of your wedding. 🌿💐

Forget “Something Borrowed’. Seriously - have you ever seen such a stunning and tasteful incorporation of blue tones in a wedding? We brought a playful twist on “Something Blue’ into Wendy & Erik’s wedding day at @willard_intercontinentaldc With touches of blue Chinoiserie vases, not to mention other blue touches like ribbons and bridesmaid dresses, the blush and ivory floral palette of all blended perfectly together! Cheers to a beautiful day as magnificent as the happy couple!

Designing at River Farm always feels like a breath of fresh air — quite literally! The gardens are already so lush and abundant, so for Caitlin & Sean’s wedding, our goal was to create florals that felt like a natural extension of the landscape. We adorned the existing pergola with a floral installation designed to look as though it had always been blooming there — organic, graceful, and perfectly at home in the garden.⁣

This moment. This backdrop. Nicole & Cina’s wedding ceremony at the Reagan International Trade Building was a masterclass in modern romance. White petals lined the aisle while a copper-painted square arch framed our couple in soft waves of white + green blooms. The final touch? The bride + her bridesmaids perfectly poised beneath the arch—one of those “stop scrolling” moments we’ll never tire of. Timeless, effortless, unforgettable.

Lush, lavish, and unapologetically sophisticated - these were the guiding words for the Hill & Valley Forum event at Union Station, where golden sunset tones met architectural grandeur in the most unforgettable way. The vision? A celebration that felt masculine yet elevated.⁣

To bring it to life, we had the joy of collaborating with Atelier Ashley Flowers. Sharing a unified palette but each interpreting it through our distinct lens, we created a layered floral story that unfolded across the space. Bold, textural blooms anchored our design, complementing the dramatic backdrop of this iconic venue while staying true to the event`s refined style.⁣
