Stylish Fairmont Hotel DC Wedding

June 18, 2020

Fairmont Hotel DC Wedding

This past fall, we had the honor of working with Annie and David to bring their Fairmont Hotel wedding to life. You cannot compile a list of the best DC wedding venues without mentioning the Fairmont Hotel. From the intimate Colonnade Room to the Grand Ballroom, the traditional vibe is glamorous from start to finish. So that being said, this charming couple wanted play up that elegance.

To start, we paired classic whites and ivories with warm, candlelight shades of champagne and gold. Add touches of eucalyptus, garden roses, and dahlias and we had a recipe for a romantic and classic fall floral palette. And while the bouquets were STUNNING, that was just the start to this incredibly stylish fall wedding at the Fairmont Hotel.

St. Mary’s Armenian Church Ceremony

The wedding ceremony took place at St. Mary’s Armenian Church. If you haven’t visited, it’s a gorgeous church in northwest DC. Simple altar arrangements graced the sanctuary.

Fairmont Hotel Grand Ballroom Reception

Once guests arrived to the Fairmont for the reception, they were greeted with a luxurious and dramatic room of tall gold glass vases. Each elevated stand was topped with a classic designs of white hydrangea, stock, champagne roses, ivory spray roses, and lisianthus finished with soft gray-green eucalyptus foliage. Filling the table level of the designs were alternating gold julep cups with hydrangea and eucalyptus and elevated glass stands with floating candles for a romantic glow. A stylish fall wedding ballroom you just want to twirl around in.

A chuppah like no other. ✨ For Lottie & Kyle’s wedding at the Hotel Monaco, we framed the ceremony with tall, airy designs of eucalyptus, larkspur and delphinium, while delicate strands of white dendrobium orchids floated from the canopy suspended between the rotunda columns. The result? A chuppah that felt ethereal, elegant, and completely one-of-a-kind. Don’t miss the next photo for a closer look at this dreamy design!

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

A floral moment as timeless as Leah & Matt’s love. 🤍 Their intimate ceremony at Mount Vernon Inn featured a breathtaking circular arch of lush white roses—the perfect symbol of eternity. Inside, glass-enclosed taper candles set aside soft, full blooms filled the tables and set the scene for a romantic reception. Classic, elegant, and completely unforgettable. ⁣

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea!

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Thank you to Megan and Damien for their 5 star review! We loved flowering and coordinating their beautiful wedding day at St. Francis Hall! ⁣

“We were so lucky that we found Petal`s Edge. Gorgeous flowers and we hired Gerry for her super talented day of wedding coordination. Planning a wedding is hard but Petal`s Edge made it easy. Beyond super beautiful florals that really elevated our day and made it special, it was such a huge help that any time I was stuck in the planning process, Gerry answered any question I had. Her professionalism and capabilities are simply unmatched. She knows everything about venues, vendors and more inside and out. Meetings to see your floral designs are super smooth. Petal`s Edge will write your contract super fast and easily helped us amend it. The day of the wedding couldn`t have been more perfect. It was so easy and fun. Petal`s Edge set everything up perfectly and make sure it ran smoothly. The florals were so beautiful!! I loved all of the details, from a stunning bridal bouquet, posies for moms and grandmas, framing the posters with eucalyptus, to gorgeous multicolored petals down the aisle. Our guests were so comfortable and well taken care of the whole night. Petal`s Edge really took the rustic/classic vision I had in mind and made it a gorgeous reality.”⁣

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance
