Spring Pink Wedding at Hotel Monaco DC

Spring pinks for a Hotel Monaco wedding? Yes please. And then when a bride says to you, “I like the idea of gold pineapples,” you know you’re going to have fun with the flowers for her wedding! Caren and Aaron chose the modern and slightly funky venue to fill with spring pinks for their Hotel Monaco. Caren’s bouquet was composed of some unique and fun flowers, including protea, ranunculus, peonies, tulips, stock, astilbe and hyacinth in varying shades of pink accented with seeded eucalyptus foliage. Bridesmaids bouquets were also textural blooms of ranunculus, tulips, and hyacinth in varying shades of pink accented with seeded eucalyptus foliage. Did you notice? Not a single rose! Aaron’s boutonniere was a hot pink ranunculus accented with bear grass, and the remaining boutonnieres used light pink ranunculus.

A suspended panel fo fabric highlighted the unique architectural features of the venue. With some accents of spring pinks for the Hotel Monaco wedding chuppah, it took the scene from simple to romantic. Posies of flowers were attached to each corner for a pop of color.

Spring pinks featured throughout their Hotel Monaco wedding reception as well. The escort card table design set a fun and dramatic scene with a tall, fluted glass vase displaying an expressive design of protea, stock, orchids, tulips, snapdragons, astilbe, and larkspur in varying shades of pink accented with ruscus, baby blue eucalyptus, and seeded eucalyptus for texture and drape. Wisps of draping jasmine vine and submerged sprays of orchids lent the finishing touch. Cocktail arrangements didn’t disappoint with those gold painted pineapples filled with a textured mix of hydrangea, tulips, astilbe, and stock in varying shades of pink accented seeded eucalyptus. Guest tables in the reception held a gold cube vase of dark pink hydrangea, light pink stock, light pink astilbe, tulips and ranunculus in varying shades of pink, and pale green succulents finished with seeded eucalyptus.

There’s something really special about designing flowers for a venue that already feels immersed in the landscape around it.⁣
⁣
At the Dockmaster Building, the water, sky, reflections, and light become part of the experience. The floor-to-ceiling glass and panoramic waterfront views create a setting that feels airy, modern, and completely different from the more traditional DC wedding venues we work in so often.⁣
⁣
We loved leaning into that atmosphere for Claire & Sean`s wedding with flowers that felt organic, textural, and romantic without competing with the architecture or the view.⁣

In a city known for grand beaux arts mansions and classic ballroom weddings, there’s something so refreshing about the industrial architecture of Ritz-Carlton Georgetown.⁣
The exposed brick, steel details, and warm textures create a completely different kind of romance. It feels moodier, more intimate, and unexpectedly modern while still feeling unmistakably DC.⁣
⁣
We love the design opportunities a venue like this presents. Soft, garden inspired flowers against raw architectural elements will always be one of our favorite contrasts.⁣

How did we get these lemon arrangements from Point A to Point B with everything still attached? 🍋

Plastic wrap.

Floral design is equal parts beauty, engineering, and MacGyvering. Making it pretty is one thing. Figuring out how to transport it safely is a whole other skill.

A moongate arch dressed in nothing but lush greenery - lemon leaf, ruscus, eucalyptus - and that was just the beginning. 🌿 Sometimes the most stunning designs are the ones that let the natural beauty do the talking. Lindsay and Matt`s classic Woodlawn ceremony is proof that simple, done really well, is always enough. 🤍⁣
