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.

Oh how we love a room shot…

Don’t get us wrong! Give us all the delicious little flower close-ups. We want to see every ruffly petal and perfect place setting.

But then BACK UP!

Because this is the moment we’ve been thinking about all along. How do those centerpieces fill the room? Where does your eye go first? Do the tall pieces actually feel tall beneath a 20-foot ceiling?

Does the whole thing have rhythm?

Seeing all of those individual pieces finally come together into one beautiful room never, ever gets old.

Twenty-plus years in and we still get a little giddy about it.

Some venues need flowers that make a statement. Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is all about atmosphere.⁣
⁣
The exposed brick, warm lighting, and intimate scale already bring so much character to the space, so we leaned into layered candlelight, soft movement, and garden inspired flowers that felt romantic without overpowering the architecture.⁣
⁣
One of our favorite DC venues for couples who want their wedding to feel elegant, warm, and completely immersive.⁣

September, we’ve missed you!

September weddings get to have it both way: Summer flowers are still hanging around. Dahlias are at their absolute BEST. And little hints of fall start making their way into our buckets.

This is the month we start getting excited about foliage again. Berries, branches, grasses, pods, vines - all those slightly weird botanical things that make an arrangement more interesting!

Hello again, September!!
