Maybe green really is having its moment. Between the Yellow Brick Road yellows, the poppy-red anemones, and a reception drenched in layered greens, this Oz-inspired spring event felt like a preview of the color conversations designers are having now.
From emerald to chartreuse to the softest sage, green can be grounding, glamorous, or a little bit wild — sometimes all at once. And with the Wicked sequel stirring up the color world again, we’re curious…
Which shade is your leading character this season?
Some of the most meaningful moments in this work come from the families who return to us. Mey first reached out by saying she’d loved her sister Iona’s wedding flowers, from the colors, the choices, the way everything held up for days. She wanted something just as thoughtful for her own wedding at 101 Constitution.
A textured mix of white florals with lush eucalyptus bringing its blue-green hues gave the skyline a quiet elegance of its own. And standing there with that view of the Capitol, it was hard not to feel grateful for the trust families place in us, year after year. It’s an honor every single time.

Not every couple is lucky enough to wake up to the perfect weather for their perfect outdoor ceremony. But that is not reason to fret! Somtimes the plan shifts. Laura & Ben`s outdoor ceremony at the Omni Shoreham moved inside at the last moment, and it turned out to be perfect all the same. We built a custom chuppah to frame their nuptials, overlaid with branches and flowers to echo a natural garden arbor. Swipe to see more of what made this one of our favorite spring weddings! (And they still managed to sneak in a few outdoor photos. 😉)

Let me go on record saying: when it comes to candles, especially in winter, more is more. 😉

Alexa, please play Christmas music.
Too early? I confess. I’m a Thanksgiving purist. It’s literally my favorite holiday. But as a floral designer, I’m often living a season ahead. Thinking of spring when it’s winter, or fall in the heat of summer. And yes, plotting winter holiday decor when it’s Halloween (if not the 4th of July!)
But something about the quiet in the air today and news of snow in places nearby is all it took to awaken my holiday spirit and launch holiday planning mode! If it takes you more to get you in the mood, maybe Sonja & Mike’s Christmas wedding from a few years ago will do the trick!

There’s a reason the garden aesthetic endures. Sydney & Adam’s Omni Shoreham wedding proved that abundance doesn’t mean excess. It’s about balance. Layers of red, peach, and champagne tones brought warmth to the Palladian Room’s formality, while trailing jasmine and geranium softened its edges.
We often talk about ‘garden style’ as if it’s effortless, but true ease comes from intention, that blend of movement, proportion, restraint. Here, that translated into florals that felt alive within the space, grounded yet romantic.
A study in color, texture, and timing. The kind of classic that never fades.
