Spring Omni Shoreham Wedding

Spring Omni Shoreham Wedding

Wedding couple at gazebo

Located along Rock Creek park, the Omni Shoreham hotel has the feel of a luxury retreat while being right in a sought after Washington, DC neighborhood. One of our favorite spots in the city, we have worked at this Omni many times over the years – and in just about all of the ballroom spaces! Jenni and Aaron’s spring Omni Shoreham wedding, though, presented a first for us. While the beautiful ceremony took place at the iconic domed gazebo, the reception made use of the patio terrace.

Punctuated with flowers in shades of blue, the palette was both nuanced and classic. Blue is truly one of our favorite color schemes for spring. Lush white peonies formed the body of Jenni’s bouquet, accented with blue delphinium and tweedia, sharp green lady’s mantle, and rounded out with white mini-calla lilies, stock, lisianthus and Italian ruscus foliage. The bridesmaids’ simpler smaller bouquets popped against their pale blue dresses.

The aisle was strewn with white roses leading to the gazebo. Elegant lemon leaf garlands were tucked with white and ivory roses and spray roses, white stock, and dark and light blue delphinium. With the white cherry blossom trees in blooms in the background, it was truly a magical, spring Omni Shoreham wedding ceremony.

Blue is such a great color for a spring Omni Shoreham wedding, if only because there are more blue flower options to be had! For the reception, the intimate guest count was well suited to the patio terrace, where guests could continue to gaze out upon the stunning gazebo and lawn. Each table featured a lush design of blues and whites – hydrangea, stock, roses, lisianthus, tweedia and delphinium filled glass cylinder vase. A striking design of dark and light blue delphinium graced the guestbook table.

It was such a pleasure to bring Jenni and Aaron’s vision to life! We with you many beautiful seasons together ahead.

Advice I’d give you as a florist if I wasn’t afraid of hurting your feelings…

1. Creativity costs money

Thoughtful choices matter. Floral design comes from premium blooms, careful mechanics, and hours of labor. Often, investing in a few impactful designs creates more magic than trying to do a little bit everywhere.

2. Pinterest isn’t reality.

Styled shoots, filters, and out-of-season flowers can set unrealistic expectations. A skilled florist translates your inspiration into something real, beautiful, and perfectly suited to your wedding.

3. Your choice of wedding planner can be a 🚩

A strong planner protects your vision and collaborates with your creative team. But not every planner has the same level of experience, and misplaced trust can cost you money, time, and beauty. Surround yourself with professionals who set you up for success. Protecting quality is how your vision comes to life

4. Repurposing only works with a plan.

Yes, some ceremony flowers can move into the reception, but it requires staff, timing, and logistics. With forethought, it’s seamless and impactful. Without it, it can create stress or compromise the design.

5. Timing is everything.

Flowers are living things with a short window of perfection. A carefully built schedule protects bouquets, keeps installations fresh, and ensures your flowers look their best when it matters most.

🌸 And one note for fellow vendors: florists care deeply. I don’t know a single one who doesn’t. We want to give couples our very best work. But flowers are perishable, which means details matter. When timelines push us to deliver too early, when arrangements are dismantled without our input, or when fading blooms are photographed as “detail shots,” the couple’s vision suffers. Collaboration is what protects the flowers and, ultimately, the experience we all want for our clients.

The truth may not always be easy to hear, but hearing it early will save stress, protect your vision, and give you flowers that feel unforgettable for all the right reasons. ✨
Victorian elegance met modern romance at the Fairmont. ✨ Centerpieces have the power to set the tone for an entire ballroom. Half the guest tables featured tall silver candelabras topped with textured designs of hydrangea, roses, dahlias, and lisianthus in shades of pink and burgundy. More than accents, the elevated designs added height, repetition, and cohesion throughout the room. The balance of tables held silver footed bowls brimming with the same rich palette, styled in a looser, organic shape. Together, the mix of height, texture, and candlelight created a romantic atmosphere that was timeless and unforgettable — the kind of detail that takes a wedding from beautiful to truly show-stopping. 🌸✨
