Hygge and Happiness at Home

With everything going on in the world, it’s never been more important to ensure your home is your sanctuary – a place of peace, grounding, and restoration. We have been taking inspiration from “How To Hygge” by Signe Johansen, which we highly recommend.

As baseball season wraps, we’re celebrating a win of our own: bringing Petal’s Edge floral magic to Nationals Park for a special event. While most days take us to historic houses and grand ballrooms, we love the chance to design somewhere unexpected. Because flowers don’t just belong in gardens. They shine in stadiums too!

When the bride wears black, everything else falls into place. At Lauren & Alan’s Hotel Monaco wedding, the candlelight flickered against layers of greenery, lanterns, and shadow. The palette whispered more than it spoke. White flowers wouldn’t have belonged here; this was a story told in texture, depth, and restraint.

There’s power in contrast: light against dark, softness against structure, the unexpected choice that somehow feels inevitable once you see it. The design was less about decoration and more about atmosphere. Mysterious, elegant, and entirely unforgettable.

Florals in full dramatic mode for The Scout Guide Alexandria launch party at the Hotel Heron. A trunk bursting with roses, a plum-and-black arch layered in texture and light. Modern romance with an editorial edge. The evening’s palette played with tension: shadow against shine, petals against metal.

We love when flowers step outside the ballroom and into the spotlight, blurring the line between installation and arrangement. These designs were made to stop traffic, literally and figuratively.

Modern fall doesn’t have to mean pumpkins and orange. At Rebecca & Jason`s Torpedo Factory wedding, we reimagined autumn in rich, moody, and unapologetically bold tones of eggplant, emerald, and gold. White anemones and roses added contrast, catching light like brushstrokes in a painting. Modern design is about tension and balance. It`s a dialogue between light and dark, structure and softness. In a space built for art, the flowers and foliage became their own statement. A reminder that fall can be more gallery than harvest, more contrast than comfort.⁣

It’s Halloween! The season for dress-up and a little role reversal. So, in a playful twist, we’re dressing up! What if clients questioned their photographer like they do their florist? Scary, isn’t it? 😂 👻

Sound off 📣 What would you add?

The hallmarks of modern floral design are intentional simplicity, clean lines, and strong contrast, and this Newseum wedding captured all three. Sara & Andrew’s rooftop ceremony framed the city skyline with a modern white chuppah, asymmetrically designed with bold orange blooms: orchids, pincushion protea, roses, and Chinese lanterns. Bouquets blended classic garden blooms with unexpected textures, creating movement and depth without clutter. Inside, vivid blue linens and white glass vases kept the palette architectural and restrained, letting the color do the talking. ⁣

Modern doesn’t have to mean minimal. It means considered. Every flower, every texture, every placement serves a purpose. That’s what gives simplicity its strength.⁣
