Traditional Alexandria Wedding

January 30, 2015

Alexandra and Steven ‘s wedding as the epitome of a traditional Alexandria wedding. From the traditional ceremony setting at Christ Church, one of the oldest churches in Old Town Alexandria, to the reception at Mount Vernon Inn on George Washington’s estate, the wedding spelled classic from touch to finish. Alexandra’s long-sleeve lace gone exuded classic Grace Kelley vibes, while Steven looked dashing in his Marine Corp dress uniform. Florals embraced a delicate blush and dove gray palette. Classic done oh-so-right.

The bridal bouquet featured the best of spring. The loosely styled, garden bouquet featured peonies and Juliet garden roses, spring touches of lilac, light pink ranunculus and sweet pea, and frilly white astilbe with delicate strands of jasmine vine. The bridesmaids’ bouquets held similar hues, pairing with the dove gray dresses.

A traditional Alexandria wedding altar design flanked the ceremony area, situated on the two window sills. The two small windows featured a similar palate, designed so they could be repurposed on the fireplace mantels for the reception.

No jokes here! Just your friendly wedding florist having a great time during setup! :) We loved designing this unique whimsical ceremony setup with tropical undertones, coupled with reception centerpieces that incorporated some new(ish) floral elements like bleached ruscus on the tables. But, no pranks here when we recommend scheduling your complimentary floral consultation today as we are filling up for the rest of 2025 and spring of 2026! ⁣

A chuppah like no other. ✨ For Lottie & Kyle’s wedding at the Hotel Monaco, we framed the ceremony with tall, airy designs of eucalyptus, larkspur and delphinium, while delicate strands of white dendrobium orchids floated from the canopy suspended between the rotunda columns. The result? A chuppah that felt ethereal, elegant, and completely one-of-a-kind. Don’t miss the next photo for a closer look at this dreamy design!

Love in full bloom - rain and all ☔️ ✨

Tamari & Zach embraced the romance of a rainy day ceremony at the historic Tudor Place, saying “I do” beneath clear umbrellas. Then they celebrated in the cozy, intimate setting of the Tabard Inn - with a warm floral palette of corals and oranges, the dreamiest Cafe au Lait dahlias, and proof that a little rain only adds to the magic.

A floral moment as timeless as Leah & Matt’s love. 🤍 Their intimate ceremony at Mount Vernon Inn featured a breathtaking circular arch of lush white roses—the perfect symbol of eternity. Inside, glass-enclosed taper candles set aside soft, full blooms filled the tables and set the scene for a romantic reception. Classic, elegant, and completely unforgettable. ⁣

G is for greenery 🌿, L is for lush ✨… you get the idea!

When it comes to statement-making florals, a well-placed garland can do it all—elevate long tables, frame a ceremony aisle, or even drape around a fountain for that effortlessly chic look. Who said greenery was just filler? 💅

Thank you to Megan and Damien for their 5 star review! We loved flowering and coordinating their beautiful wedding day at St. Francis Hall! ⁣

“We were so lucky that we found Petal`s Edge. Gorgeous flowers and we hired Gerry for her super talented day of wedding coordination. Planning a wedding is hard but Petal`s Edge made it easy. Beyond super beautiful florals that really elevated our day and made it special, it was such a huge help that any time I was stuck in the planning process, Gerry answered any question I had. Her professionalism and capabilities are simply unmatched. She knows everything about venues, vendors and more inside and out. Meetings to see your floral designs are super smooth. Petal`s Edge will write your contract super fast and easily helped us amend it. The day of the wedding couldn`t have been more perfect. It was so easy and fun. Petal`s Edge set everything up perfectly and make sure it ran smoothly. The florals were so beautiful!! I loved all of the details, from a stunning bridal bouquet, posies for moms and grandmas, framing the posters with eucalyptus, to gorgeous multicolored petals down the aisle. Our guests were so comfortable and well taken care of the whole night. Petal`s Edge really took the rustic/classic vision I had in mind and made it a gorgeous reality.”⁣
