Mayflower Hotel Washington DC Wedding

Jane and Ethan celebrated their union with a timeless and elegant wedding at the historic Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC. Their classic nuptials were a perfect blend of sophistication and romance, creating an unforgettable day filled with love and joy.

The day began with a morning ceremony at the LDS Temple, setting the tone for the rest of the festivities. Jane, the stunning bride, carried an exquisite cascading bridal bouquet of white phalaenopsis orchids, adding a touch of natural elegance to her ensemble. The bridesmaids complemented her with simple yet beautiful bouquets featuring ivory roses and spray roses, accented with dusty miller foliage for a touch of silvery softness.

As the day transitioned into evening, the festivities continued in the grandeur of the Mayflower Hotel’s Grand Ballroom. The reception exuded opulence, with long tables featuring lush and elegant floral garlands of white hydrangea, roses, spray roses, stock, and phalaenopsis orchids. These arrangements spanned the length of the 16-foot tables, creating a visually stunning and cohesive design that perfectly complemented the classic ambiance of the venue.

To further enhance the overall aesthetic, round tables were adorned with silver footed, mercury glass bowls. These centerpieces were lush and abundant, showcasing a blend of white hydrangea, roses, stock, spray roses, lisianthus, and dusty miller. The arrangements were thoughtfully accented with white phalaenopsis orchids, adding texture and movement to the design.

Jane and Ethan’s Mayflower Hotel wedding was a celebration of love and sophistication, captured in every detail. The classic and elegant style, paired with the luxurious floral arrangements, made their day truly timeless. The Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC provided the perfect backdrop for this enchanting celebration, leaving lasting memories for the happy couple and their guests.

The garden terrace at the St. Regis is stunning on its own, with stately trees and a landscaped patio just steps from the White House. For Katie and Doug’s fall wedding, we added lush urn designs of baby’s breath and camellia branches to frame their vows with a soft, romantic touch. After the ceremony, our team transitioned the designs indoors to flank their sweetheart table. We love finding thoughtful ways to give designs double duty. 🍂✨⁣

Minimal never means boring. At the National Museum of Women in the Arts, we designed with intention: bud vases filled with single white roses paired with black taper candles and glowing votives. The look was crisp, modern, and architectural, yet still romantic when lit. ✨ We love how repeating the smallest details across an entire room creates atmosphere and drama — proof that simplicity, when done with care, can be just as striking as the grandest installation. 🖤 🤍

Spring 2026 weddings are already coming in hot, and one style we’re seeing again and again is the timeless pairing of blue and white. ✨ Paige and Andrew’s summer wedding ceremony at the DC War Memorial followed by a celebration at Sequoia proved just how fresh this palette can feel in the warmer months. Creams and blues layered with texture and detail created a look that was both classic and modern, perfectly suited to their waterfront celebration. Trends may come and go, but this color story never loses its edge. 💙🤍⁣

Fiery autumn hues turned the Hotel Monaco into a warm and romantic retreat for Katie and Lucas’ celebration. 🍂 We embraced a palette of golden yellows and vibrant oranges, pairing orchids, roses, and dahlias with dramatic curly willow to create a whimsical yet elevated design. The mix of texture and color gave the ballroom a glow that felt both seasonal and timeless. This wedding is proof that bold palettes can be just as classic as neutrals when paired with thoughtful design. ✨⁣

Our story is rooted in horticulture, art, and a genuine love of design. Over the years, the scale of our weddings has grown, but our philosophy remains the same: florals should create mood, evoke emotion, and transform a space into something unforgettable. 🌸

That devotion carries through every detail, from climbing ladders to lighting candles to suspending blooms overhead. For Emily and Will’s wedding at Potomac View Terrace, that meant classic pink and white garden flowers, golden terrariums glowing with candlelight, and a canopy of suspended blooms with glass globes above the head table. Romantic, timeless, and a reflection of why we do what we do. ✨

As we begin a new season, we cannot wait to bring more love stories to life. If you are planning your wedding, now is the time to start dreaming with us. 💐

Cocktail hour is one of our favorite opportunities to expand on a couple’s wedding aesthetic, and Michelle & Timothy’s celebration at the Omni Shoreham was no exception. We created overflowing garden baskets to anchor their seating wall and welcome mirror, filled to the brim with lush garden roses, hydrangea, hybrid delphinium and stock in pastel hues. The result was whimsical yet refined, perfectly tying together the day’s lush, romantic style and setting the stage for an unforgettable evening. 🌿💐⁣
