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.

It’s been a very long time since floral centerpieces were just flowers in a vase. Today’s centerpieces have multiple elements, loads of candles, things that have to be assembled and even built on-site. And yet the presumption persists that the florist is just going to show up with a box that can be left in the corner for someone else to place on the table.

Putting aside the fact that we take far more pride in our work than that… to say that we value logistics and planning is an understatement!! And logistics are truly our skill set. We can tell you how many man hours a particular installation will take and can design for efficiency. It’s truly our super power.

Most floral design relies on other things being in place. Not useful? “You can get into the room at this time.” Actually useful? “The bar you’re building that cascading piece on will in place no later than X o’clock.” But more than that? Start realizing that event demands are not what they used to be.

We were at the Willard InterContinental this past weekend setting up for Mari`s bridal shower. Think pink, gardeny, everything spring.⁣
⁣
The Crystal Room is always a lot of look. Those green marble columns, the chandeliers... and yet it`s so quintessentially DC! There`s something about that room that makes pink feel completely at home.⁣
⁣
It took us straight back to Sophia & Daniel`s wedding ceremony in the same space. Pink baby`s breath, roses, the whole thing. Two totally different events, same magic. Pink and the Crystal Room? We`re convinced it`s a love story. 💚🌸⁣

I love eavesdropping. 😜

While setting up for the new Georgetown Citibank, we overheard someone say, “This is the moment.” ❤️

And I couldn’t have said it better myself. Because when flowers are doing their job, they don’t just fill a space. They create a moment you can feel.
