Rustic Archer Hotel Wedding

Rustic Archer Hotel Wedding

Petal's Edge | Alexandria Virginia Wedding Florist | Wedding Flowers

Rich purples and soft lavenders, as well as an overall aesthetic of rustic elegance, are what we brought to Marla and Liam’s wedding at Lorien Hotel & Spa, now the Archer Hotel. Located at on King Street, the venue is right in our neck of the woods in Old Town Alexandria. We had a great time working with the luscious colors and textures of this sweet couple’s rustic wedding.

The gorgeous colors of Marla’s bridal bouquet really popped against her gown! Purple lisianthus, purple stock, lavender roses, and scabiosa pods contrasted beautifully with the ivory garden roses and ivory spray roses. The stems were wrapped in a natural burlap ribbon and finished in twine. Meanwhile, the bridesmaids’ lighter bouquets, in hues of ivory and lavender, also stood out from their plum dresses. Liam’s boutonniere, as well as the remaining boutonnieres, were kept simple, with an ivory rose accented with seeded eucalyptus.

The guest tables were transformed for the rustic Archer Hotel wedding with unique centerpieces consisting of mason jars tied with twine. Each jar was filled with the same purple and white blooms featured throughout the wedding, for a coordinated, yet elegantly casual, look. White jar candles, accented with purple ribbon, added to the intimate feel of the reception.

Marla’s and Liam’s happiness shines through in their photos from the day, and we loved being a part of their rustic Archer Hotel wedding. Congratulations!

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨ 

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea! 

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨ 

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level 

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance
