Shop Update: How to Shop Safely

How to Shop Safely for Flowers

There are two easy ways to shop safely for flowers, gifts and daily delivery arrangements with us:

give us a call for a virtual shopping appointment, or
we invite you to shop via our webstore.

We are able to accommodate a very small number of visitors at this time, but will do our best! We are delighted to have participated in the ALX Promise program, which means that we have been trained and have committed to higher safety standards for employees and customers than the minimum rules required by law for all businesses.

Important things to know if you decide to visit the shop in person.

Per VA law and City of Alexandria Health Department requirements, all customers must wear a mask. If you are unable or unwilling to wear a mask, you invite you to shop with us online or by phone. We are unable to allow you to enter without a mask.

Visitors will be required to:

Wash or sanitize hands upon entry.
Maximum one customer permitted in the shop at a time. We will sanitize between each customer.
Please maintain six feet of distance from our staff.
We are unable to take cash payments right now. If you order by phone or online, payment will be taken care of ahead of time. We can arrangement for curbside pick up if you wish to pick up your order in person.
Our meeting area is closed.

For wedding consultations, we continue to conduct those by phone or zoom. We appreciate your understanding as we maneuver a host of new rules to keep us and everyone safe. We hope to help everyone shop safely.

Hot pink and orange might sound daring, but when paired with balance and structure, they become timeless. At Kate & Nick`s Mayflower wedding, we used orchids, dahlias, and roses in saturated tones softened by texture and shape, a palette that felt joyful but still sophisticated. The secret to vibrant design is control: letting one element lead, the others harmonize. It’s how bold color becomes elegance rather than excess.⁣
⁣
And as it happens, we’ll be back at the Mayflower this weekend. Different couple, different palette, but the same intention! We love to create a design that feel perfectly at home in this iconic space.⁣

For Rebecca and David’s wedding at the Omni Shoreham, the vision was pure timelessness — white, ivory, and green, with a British sensibility that felt both formal and fresh. Garden roses, ranunculus, lisianthus, and stock created softness and movement, while thistle, heather, and ivy added quiet texture and tradition. The result was classic, but never simple, an elegant study in tone, proportion, and restraint. From the church railings draped in eucalyptus to the gilded compotes on the head table, every detail was designed to feel effortless, polished, and enduring. It was the kind of beauty that never goes out of style.⁣

For Anna and Abram, fall is more than a season. It is a mood. Their chuppah was dressed in curly willow branches and preserved leaves, with clusters of pumpkins for that final {chef`s kiss} touch. Bouquets brimmed with the richness and rhythm of the season: burgundy dahlias, red garden roses, scabiosa pods, viburnum berries, and peach stock. Birch bark vases held centerpieces filled with fruits, and foliage, carrying warmth through every detail. Fall florals are always about abundance, but the art is in keeping them balanced: lush, layered, and full of light.⁣

Fall at Decatur House… a love letter in color and light. Foliage climbing the chuppah, tables lined with pomegranates, persimmons, and candlelight beneath a clear-top tent. Everything wrapped in that soft golden tone that only fall manages to find. We might call it harvest season, but it’s really about warmth. The kind you feel in the flowers, in the glow, in the people who gather there. This one was pure autumn energy, in every possible way.

Few venues carry the presence of Anderson House. Its marble halls and gilded ceilings invite florals that feel architectural in their own right. For Heather & Clifford’s wedding, we worked in a single hue: red. Roses, ranunculus, and anthurium in layered tones of crimson, scarlet, and wine filled the ballroom in tall and low arrangements that stretched the length of the long tables. In a monochromatic palette, every petal and curve matters. Texture, proportion, and placement become the language of design. The result was bold yet refined, a composition that echoed the formality of the setting while transforming it into something deeply personal and unforgettable.⁣

Before the installations. Before the ballroom glow. There’s this - buckets, stems, the quiet rhythm of preparation.
