It was clear from the beginning that Ellen had a fun streak when she told us about her “something blue” – royal blue heels peaked out from her wedding dress! She paired teal bridesmaid dresses with shades of pink, from light pink stock to hot pink dahlia for the summer Hotel Monaco wedding. The bridal bouquet was in shades of pink and white using Café au Lait dahlia, pink Constance garden roses, ivory Vendela roses, white stock, and white lisianthus. Bridesmaids carried bouquets of roses in varying shades of pink from blush to hot pink, light pink stock, hot pink dahlia, and touches of white lisianthus.

What better way to celebrate summer for this Hotel Monaco wedding but a palette of bold pinks! Guest tables were decorated with a silver ceramic cylinder vase of hydrangea, stock, roses, spray roses, dahlia and mini-calla lilies in shades of pink. A fun and festive design of in shades of pink topped the cake. What a fun celebration!

The season for sparkle begins. ✨ From Thanksgiving dinners to New Year’s soirées, November is when party plans come to life — and our design calendar shifts from bouquets to ballrooms.

Our installation at the Watergate Hotel mixed metallics and white roses in sculptural form - proof that holiday design can be both organic and glamorous. Because at its core, festivity is about transformation: turning a space into a feeling, a table into a gathering, and light into warmth.

Let’s talk about the “just a few extra blooms” request. Spoiler: there’s no such thing as extra in the world of flowers. Every stem you see, from delicate sweet peas and perfect ranunculus to lush roses, was bought with intention because flowers are literally our business. 🌸

The blooms for a single flat lay? Retail price any where from $20 to $75 and up. And. Up. Why the mark up? Because selling flowers is how we make our living. It pays the team, the rent, the cooler, transportation costs, and more. (It’s not just petals and poetry over here). Multiply that by 50 - 70 weddings a season and you’re looking at over $3k in gift blooms. That doesn’t include the myriad of other free blooms we get asked for: cake flowers, passing tray flowers, sample arrangements and more. That’s not generosity. That’s payroll.

Here’s how we handle it: We offer all our couples the option to include flat lay florals. If yes, we build it into the proposal so everyone wins. The couple gets their dreamy detail shots, the photographer gets beautiful product to work with, and we stay in business. Fairness (and beauty) for all.

No shade to photographers and other wedding vendors here. But boundaries are healthy. Everyone’s work deserves compensation. Be kind. Ask questions. Respect the craft. Love the results.
