One of the things we love about St. Francis Hall is how dramatic the room becomes once guests enter for the reception. Long tables, candlelight, and floral centerpieces change the entire mood of the space. We often mix tall and low arrangements here so the room feels layered and dimensional instead of flat. The result is romantic, a little theatrical, and exactly the kind of setting that makes a wedding dinner feel unforgettable.
For Allie & Bud`s garden-inspired spring wedding at St. Francis Hall, the goal was to soften the hall’s historic architecture with flowers that felt abundant and organic. A palette of peaches, creams, and layered greens brought a fresh garden feeling into the room, with lush arrangements that felt almost as if they had just been gathered from the landscape. Against the stone walls and warm wood of the hall, the effect was both elegant and inviting, proof that this historic Washington, DC venue can transform beautifully depending on the floral vision.

May is off to a great start with Katie & Jake’s beautiful wedding at Woodlawn! A tent wedding, soft pastels, lots of texture… everything we love about a spring wedding! And a great team to boot!

Industrial space… but make it soft, romantic, and completely unforgettable ✨
Sally and Kevin’s wedding at the Torpedo Factory Art Center is exactly why we love this venue so much. It gives you contrast. Edge. And then you layer in blush, ivory, pale green, and gold? Magic.
Her bouquet was all the good stuff: white peonies, Cafe au Lait dahlias, garden roses, and the prettiest hint of blush. Classic, but not boring. Elevated, but still emotional.
And those ceremony arrangements? Pulled double duty into the reception (because yes, we’re always thinking about that). Soft romance in an industrial space just hits differently.

It was all about subtle contrast. Low, textured white arrangements layered with smoke glass, petite vases, and candlelight that actually did its job, casting that warm, flattering glow across the room. A few elevated pieces pulled the eye upward, connecting the space without overwhelming it. Nothing excessive, just beautifully considered from every angle

This Saturday, we are back at one of our absolute favorite venues, and the art historian in me will never not be giddy to work at a venue like this one.
Woodlawn & Pope Leighey House just feels like magic every single time. The historic architecture, the lush grounds, the intimacy of it all... we fall in love with it over and over again. And the tent? Hold my cocktail. 🍸
We can`t wait to help create something truly unforgettable this weekend. 🌿🤍

My social media is currently being populated with the news of Uranus leaving Taurus and what than means. I am certainly no expert astrologer, but if last weekend is a harbinger of things to come, it’s going to be a fantastic new period! We’ve weathered many challenges over the last eight years, things that have encouraged us to change and innovate, and Petal’s Edge is a stronger and more versatile company for it. 🥂
