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.

Oh the places we go! Working inside Folger Shakespeare Library is such a full circle moment for me. I once worked in art museums, so being back in a space like this (now with flowers?!) just makes me so happy. Truly honored to be part of this Friday’s gala 💫 , but in the meantime, here’s a throwback to last year’s event!

Time is not a florist’s friend. From the time this ever so perishable product arrives to when we set things up in meager timelines while dodging people - not to mention waiting for others to finish their part before we can start ours… Let’s just say it’s a challenge, but one we meet head on each week with ingenuity. Planning, pre-planning and even more planning. It’s not always sexy but it gets the job done.

Alexandra & Brian’s wedding at River Farm had that early summer, just-gathered feeling that never tries too hard but still feels completely considered. The palette stayed soft. Think pastel wildflowers with a little movement, nothing too tight or overly styled. Everything felt natural to the setting.⁣
⁣
The ceremony unfolded under the big tree with an arch that felt like it had grown there, loose and garden-inspired in shades of pale pink, light blue, cream, and lavender. It set the tone for the entire day.⁣
⁣
For the reception, long tables were filled all the way down with milk glass, blue mason jars, and pieces of depression glass, each one holding a slightly different mix of flowers. It created that full, abundant look that makes a space feel warm and inviting, while still leaving room for everything the evening needed to hold.⁣
Personal, relaxed, and quietly layered in a way that lets the setting - and the people in it - shine.⁣

It’s planning season for the Scout Guide launch party, and we couldn’t be more excited. 💃🏻

Any guesses on what we’ll see this year? 🤔

There is something especially beautiful about bringing soft garden flowers into a space like St. Francis Hall. The historic stone walls have a certain weight to them, and loose, romantic florals create a lovely contrast that keeps the room from feeling too formal.⁣
⁣
For Marina & Kosta’s wedding, the goal was to make the reception feel like a garden had quietly taken over the hall. We designed lush arrangements in peach, cream, and fresh greens that felt natural and abundant on the tables. Against the warm tones of the room and the glow of candlelight, the flowers softened the space and made the entire evening feel relaxed, welcoming, and full of life.⁣
