Modern Spring Hotel Monaco Wedding

It’s no secret that we absolutely love working with richly textured flowers and gorgeous colors, The color palette and flowers for Emily and Kevin’s spring Hotel Monaco wedding were fun, bright and fresh! The contrast between the bold colors of the coral charm peonies and the soft neutrals of the anemone and ranunculus was simply captivating. Emily’s cascading bouquet was unusual, as instead of being traditional and structured, it took on an organic feel with wisps of ruscus and jasmine vine creating movement. Stunning blooms in shades of coral, peach and white included peonies, garden roses, stock, ranunculus, anemone, and sweet pea. The final design truly popped against Emily’s delicate gown, and we loved the effect! For Emily’s maid of honor, we designed a French hand-tied bouquet in a complementary style, featuring the same gorgeous array of coral, peach and white florals.

Hotel Monaco Wedding Ceremony

Wedding ceremonies at the Hotel Monaco are always breathtaking, and Emily and Kevin’s was no exception! As guests arrived for the spring Hotel Monaco wedding , they were welcomed by a richly textured, asymmetrical arrangement of coral peonies, peach garden roses, peach stock, coral snapdragons, and white hydrangea, accented with lemon leaf, jasmine vine and Italian ruscus foliage and displayed in a classic urn. We flanked their ceremony area with two beautiful arrangements displayed on pedestals, pulling in the soft yet vibrant color palette of the other wedding flowers.

Modern Wedding Reception

To play up the modern feel for the spring Hotel Monaco wedding, clean-lined gold cube vases were chosen to hold the centerpiece flowers. Filled with coral roses, coral tulips, peach stock, white anemone, coral snapdragons, coral sweet pea, and organic touches of Italian ruscus and jasmine vine, the effect was bold and colorful. A sweet coral crown on their wedding cake was the ideal finishing touch to a truly delectable wedding!

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.⁣
