Classic roses. Ethereal baby’s breath. And bleached ruscus for some fashion forward style. Classic with an edge.
We spend a lot of time talking about flowers, mechanics, color palettes, and installations.
But every once in a while we`re reminded that flowers aren`t really the point.
They`re the backdrop to the moments people remember.
Tiffiannii & Minerva`s celebration, made possible through Wish Upon a Wedding, was one of those reminders. The flowers mattered. The celebration mattered more.
And that`s exactly how it should be.

Oh, Monaco. We’ve had some fun in this room.
We’ve filled it with color. We’ve kept it classic. We’ve brought in trees, hung flowers overhead, gone wild with candlelight and designed more iterations of this ballroom than we could possibly share in one post.
And somehow, we’re still not tired of it!
One of our favorite things about working in a space again and again is figuring out how to help our couples make it feel personal. Same room. New couple. New flowers. New party.
Here are a few Monaco favorites from over the years.
You had us at hellebores. 🤍
Still not over this one! Eleanor LOVED hellebores (as do we), and got our hands on every shade of hellebore we could get our hands on for her spring wedding to Shelby at the Alexandrian Hotel. To round things out, we added some of our favorite, delicious spring textures: green parrot tulips, pieris, sweet pea, and jasmine vine. Add gold compotes and a room with lit trees and this one was just GOOD!
