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!

Lavender can be a surprisingly difficult color.⁣
Too much and it can feel overly sweet. Too little and it disappears entirely.⁣
⁣
What we loved about Kortni & Aaron`s wedding at 2941 Restaurant in Falls Church was how lavender was balanced with crisp whites, soft sage greens, and layered textures. The result felt romantic and fresh without feeling precious.⁣
⁣
A reminder that color is rarely about the color itself. It`s about what you pair it with.⁣

The Old Masters knew something we’re bringing back. ✨

Clusters of plums, grapes, even nuts add to the lush tablescape of flowers, the kind of abundance that belongs in a Caravaggio painting. Rich, tactile, and impossibly beautiful in person. It’s one of our favorite ways to add depth and drama to a wedding table without sacrificing an ounce of elegance.

One of the easiest ways to make a ballroom feel dynamic is to stop making every table look the same.⁣
⁣
For Michelle & Sam`s wedding at the Colonnade Room at the Fairmont, we mixed tall centerpieces with lower garden-style arrangements, creating variation throughout the room and giving the eye somewhere new to land at every turn.⁣
⁣
But the tables weren`t carrying the design on their own. A flower-filled garland stretched the length of the head table. Greenery-clad columns framed the colonnade and dance floor throughout the evening. Together, those larger elements helped anchor the room while the centerpieces added rhythm and movement.⁣
⁣
Different heights. Different focal points. One cohesive design.⁣

Twenty years in business means there are people whose stories become part of yours.

When former Petal’s Edge designer Bree got married in Hendersonville, North Carolina, we knew we wanted to more than just present. So we loaded up supplies, traveled south, turned an Airbnb into a temporary design studio, sourced flowers from a local wholesaler (hats off to Coward Wholesale Flowers for being so helpful in addition to our local ride or die @potomacfloralwholesale), and spent the week creating wedding flowers far from home.

It’s not every day that a florist gets to design for one of their own. The miles, logistics, and long days were worth it to celebrate someone who spent years helping create beautiful weddings for others.

This time, it was Bree’s turn, and we couldn’t be happier.
