Vibrant Color Wedding at Hotel Monaco DC

They say that rain on your wedding day is good luck, but it doesn’t seem to be something this happy couple needs at all! It certainly doesn’t look like it put a damper on Taryn and Harrison’s vibrant Hotel Monaco wedding day. We just think it makes for some amazing and fun pictures!

Taryn carried a bright and colorful bouquet of lush fuchsia peonies and stock, accented with deep purple lisianthus and calla lilies and finished with lavender roses for lightness. Her bridesmaids carried bouquets of similar flowers but in mixed purple and lavender tones.

The unique architecture of the ballroom at the Hotel Monaco provides the perfect space for a dramatic suspended chuppah! Rather than erecting a separate structure, we were able to use the ballroom’s striking columns to suspend the canopy, making it seem like it is floating in mid air above them. Delicate strands of purple dendrobium orchid blooms strung on monofilament hung from each corner to add to the ethereal feel.

Alternating tall and low centerpieces in shades of fuchsia and purple accented with lavender made the reception tables elegant and the perfect choice for the vibrant Hotel Monaco wedding. It was the perfect contrast to the rainy weather outside!

Roses may dominate Valentine’s Day, especially the red ones. But anthurium? She’s the modern muse.⁣
⁣
Heart-shaped, glossy, and sculptural, anthurium comes in creamy whites, ballet pinks, coral, chocolate, even deep oxblood. It symbolizes love and abundance, but with an editorial edge that feels fresh and fashion-forward.⁣
⁣
No wonder it’s had a major glow-up in recent years. Romantic, but make it art. 💘⁣

Petal’s Edge didn’t always do Valentine’s Day.

The pandemic made one thing very clear: we couldn’t build a thriving business around one season or one type of event. Expanding beyond weddings wasn’t dramatic. It was just smart. It pushed us to think differently, to design differently, and to show up for our clients in more moments than just the aisle.

The shift felt natural because we are love junkies at heart. After years of creating wedding days, bringing that same intention to Valentine’s bouquets, anniversary surprises, and birthday deliveries was an easy extension of what we already do.

One of my favorite things is seeing a past couple’s name pop up in our orders, or a family member calling to celebrate a couple whose wedding we flowered years ago. (Or even a panicked Saturday email asking if we can help.) That continuity, that trust, that full-circle moment… it never gets old.

Valentine’s Day is this week. If you’ve been meaning to send something beautiful, this is your nudge. 💗 😘 Order online at ShopPetalsEdge.com

Beautiful spaces exist everywhere. You can book a great restaurant or walk into a well-designed hotel any day of the week. But what is it about weddings that feel so extraordinary? Yes, love is the obvious answer. Of course. But truly, when else in your life do you find yourself surrounded by flowers?!?! A wedding is one of those few moments we decide that a single day is worthy of transformation. To fill the room with a most fleeting and precious medium - flowers - knowing they’re here just long enough to make the moment unforgettable.

In discussing final changes, one of our couples had a note of hesitation in her voice, worried her palette might set a different mood than intended. Not seasonal enough? Too austere?

But here’s the thing: mood can be a matter of perspective. Which brings us to this wedding: once upon a time, orange was typecast as a strictly fall color. But flowers don’t follow rules. They bloom wildly, confidently, year-round! There are orange flowers in every season and in recent years, we’ve seen orange blooms show up to spring weddings, as warm oranges at summer soirées, and of course they’re still the favored guest at autumn affairs. Each time, the hue brings something fresh. Joy. Energy. That just-right edge.

Your color story should feel like you. In fact, for Olivia & David’s wedding, our bride’s mother shared that the color palette had been the one in her daughter’s childhood bedroom. A vibrant floral story that she had been living with all along. That’s what flowers can do. Pull memories forward, stitch generations together and turn a wedding into something deeply personal. And if it happens to challenge a few outdated ideas? Even better. 😉
