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.

Claire & Ray’s winter wedding at the Hotel Monaco felt a little like coming home.⁣
⁣
Moody plums, blush tones, deep navy, and layers of evergreen set the tone for a night that leaned fully into winter romance. Claire’s lace gown was pure softness against the richness of the palette, while emerald-clad bridesmaids brought depth and glow to every moment.⁣
⁣
We’ve designed more weddings at the Monaco than anywhere else, and this one reminded us why it holds such a special place for our team. Staying on as coordinators meant we weren’t just there for the flowers, we were there for the family, the pacing, the quiet moments in between.⁣
⁣
And then… a little holiday magic outside. Swipe through for the surprise.⁣

December has been a whirlwind. Weddings. Holiday parties. Installing holiday décor around town. The kind of month where the days blur and the studio never quite sleeps.

But one of the most meaningful moments has come through our involvement with Wish Upon a Wedding, an organization that grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing serious illness or life-altering circumstances.

At the Citizen Ballroom, we helped bring Tiffianni & Minerva’s vow renewal to life. Their vision was unapologetically floral. A sweeping staircase installation layered in greenery. Flowers in saturated shades of fuchsia and purple. A lush deconstructed floral arch that framed their vows and later their sweetheart table. Tables glowed with flowers, candles, and lamps. The temperature may have been in the teens outside but inside was only warmth and light rooted in love.

We began this year donating flowers to laid-off federal employees and end it celebrating Tiffianni & Minerva. Because this year hasn’t just been about decorating spaces. It’s about lifting spirits with flowers and helping to mark moments in meaningful ways.

It`s our fa-la-la favorite time of year for a wedding, and Gabrielle & John’s celebration at the Sulgrave Club did not disappoint. ✨🌲⁣
⁣
With the room dressed in winter greens, candlelight, and just the right amount of seasonal sparkle, the space felt timeless rather than themed. Classic architecture, evergreen touches, and soft white and burgundy florals created a setting that honored the season without overpowering it.⁣

Lighting candles early always gets a look. 👀

But twelve-hour tapers do exactly what they’re meant to do: glow all night and then some. By the end of the evening, we’re still clearing candles with plenty of life left in them.

Candle math. IYKYK🕯️
