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!

If you’re getting married at the Torpedo Factory Art Center, here’s what most couples miss:⁣
You don’t have to “match” the industrial vibe. You can balance it.⁣
⁣
Sally & Kevin leaned fully into romance… blush, ivory, soft greens, gold vessels… and it worked because contrast creates impact.⁣
We layered the design intentionally:⁣
⁣
✨ Rounded ceremony pieces to soften the architecture⁣
⁣
✨ Repurposed arrangements into the reception (smart budget move)⁣
⁣
✨ Alternating low + tall centerpieces to carry your eye through that long space⁣
⁣
Result? A room that felt warm, elevated, and completely transformed. This is where design matters. Not just what you choose, but how it all works together.⁣

Rainy wedding weekends just hit different. Blue patterned linens, chinoiserie vases, garden inspired blooms in shades of peach, white, green, and blue, plus bridesmaids in the prettiest soft blue created a design that felt equal parts timeless and romantic. Proof that a little rain only makes the flowers look better. ☔️🩵

One more time for the people in the back! 😂 A night in St. Barth’s… right here on the Potomac!✨

We were so honored to help celebrate the launch of Vol. 11 of The Scout Guide Alexandria and toast the exciting next chapter under new owner Kerry Delaney at the beautiful Jula’s on the Potomac.
We leaned all the way into the St. Barth’s theme, with a cascading floral piece in the entry to set the tone as guests arrived. A daisy-filled installation over the bar brought that effortless island charm. Baskets overflowing with lemons and olive foliage added a French Caribbean warmth throughout the space, and touches of yellow kept everything feeling sun-drenched and joyful.

We’re so proud to be part of a guide that champions small businesses and celebrates creativity in our community. Supporting local means investing in the makers, doers, and dreamers who make Alexandria vibrant — and The Scout Guide does just that, beautifully.
Cheers to Vol. 11 and to all that’s ahead for Kerry and this incredible community! 🍋🌼

Still riding high from designing the first moment guests experienced at the Vol. 11 The Scout Guide launch party. The theme pulled from St. Bart’s energy, so of course yellow had to lead the conversation. Butter yellow, citrus tones, sun-soaked florals… this palette is absolutely having a moment right now. Creating this outdoor floral wall felt like building a little burst of summer before anyone even stepped inside, and honestly, the whole night was just so fab. ☀️💛
