You love our work, and we have a feeling that – after reading the information below – you’ll love our process, too. Get all of your questions about hiring a wedding florist answered.
Petal’s Edge Floral Design is a renowned wedding and event florist in the greater Washington, DC area. Our signature offering is full-service floral design, which includes all the flowers and decor you need for your wedding, from personal flowers and ceremony and reception design to custom installations. We have an exquisite selection of decor rental items, such as vessels and chuppahs, available exclusively to our full-service clients. We also offer florals via our shop, for intimate weddings and local delivery.
In addition, we do offer design coordination, reception set up and/or clean up, and day-of event management in select cases, based on our availability. Please mention these additional services when you inquire to learn more.
The price of florals varies depending on the specific flowers used, size of arrangements, container choices, and more. Please reference the pricing guide to get an idea of how much your total investment for your wedding might be. And don’t forget, each order will also incur a 30% charge for labor and delivery, and 6% charge for Virginia sales tax.
Absolutely not! The romance of wedding flowers holds a special place in our hearts, but we also love creating floral designs for other events like product launches, corporate fundraisers, business meetings, anniversaries, birthday parties, and more. Flowers can elevate any event!
Our clients come to Petal’s Edge Floral Design because they know we can master any design style. Whether your aesthetic is modern, rustic, traditional, whimsical, or something else, we’ve done it. Our job as your florist is to understand and elevate your ideas and style with our floral designs. The only thing that stays consistent from event to event is our commitment to high-quality flowers, designs, and workmanship.
Yes — we honor all the unique ways you choose to celebrate, and whom you celebrate with. Our design team is experienced in creating florals for a variety of religious and civil ceremonies, and our rental inventory includes many religion-specific props. We also love serving LGBTQ+ couples.
This depends. We find most couples book a wedding florist anywhere from 8 – 2 months out from their wedding, thought we encourage you to reach out as soon as you’re ready. To us, “ready” means that you have an idea of your event color scheme and style, and you’re ready to make some decisions about flowers (though they won’t be set in stone until closer to your wedding).
We’re thrilled that you want to work together!
If you would like Petal’s Edge Floral Design to provide full-service floral decor, please send us an email at info@petalsedge.com. A designer from our team will contact you to schedule an appointment to discuss your needs.
If you are planning an elopement or intimate wedding, you can shop our florals a la carte directly on our website. These florals are still custom for you, but with a streamlined process. Items in the shop are grouped by style. Please pick out what you want, share your color scheme in the order notes, and we’ll take care of the rest!
Please give us a call at 703-518-8488 if you have any preliminary questions
Every full-service contact starts with a complimentary consultation. We’ll use this time to get to know you and talk through your needs, color palette, and preferred style, since every Petal’s Edge wedding is custom. (Need some inspiration on what we can do? Check out our gallery, Instagram, or Pinterest!) After the meeting, we’ll send you a custom proposal with design specifications and pricing.
We can’t wait to meet you and talk all things flowers! While we don’t expect you to be a floral expert (that’s our job!), it is always helpful to see your inspiration. Clothing swatches from your wedding party’s attire and a Pinterest board full of images are helpful for our designers to understand what you like and dislike.
Absolutely! We have a wide range of vases, containers, and props such as pillars, chuppahs, arches, candelabra and more to create a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception. Rentals, however, are only available as part of your floral contract.
Petal’s Edge Floral Design is located at 1105 Oronoco Street, Alexandria, VA 22314. Our hours are by appointment only.

Amanda & Jack’s Woodend wedding drew its inspiration from a William Morris print - lush, romantic, and rooted in nature. The florals carried that spirit through every detail: moss runners lined the tables, dotted with petite brown bottles of chamomile, blush spray roses, and wisps of greenery that felt as if they had grown there overnight. Cloche domes held tiny blooms like keepsakes. Brass animals cradled florals as though part of the garden itself, a perfect nod to the nature sanctuary venue. (Which ones can you find?) Even the greenery-lined staircase framing the cake echoed the same story. Every bloom was chosen for texture and movement, bringing that painterly, botanical world to life in three dimensions.

When Mother Nature takes her cues from the tablescape. 😉
At River Farm, the serpentine table looked as though it had grown right out of the landscape. Florals in plum, blush, taupe, and eggplant wound between wood candle holders and fruit, creating a rhythm that felt perfectly in step with the surrounding gardens. The palette was moody but soft, a study in texture and tone rather than contrast. It is our favorite kind of designs: one that blurs the line between what is arranged and what simply belongs.

We call it the creep…
Everyone talks about the rising cost of flowers, but there’s another story behind the numbers: time. Over the years, wedding timelines have stretched. First looks, detail shots, getting-ready portraits, ceremony and reception setups starting hours earlier than before, and more complex with event breakdowns. Florists are often still paid by the piece, not by the hour, yet the hours have multiplied.
What was once a 2 to 4 hour delivery day has quietly turned into a 12 to 16 hour production days with setup, standby, and late-night breakdowns. And flowers are still perishable, so they cannot sit out waiting for the photography timeline to catch up.
When couples ask why flowers cost more now, this is part of the answer. It is not just about stems or supply chains. It is the labor, the logistics, and the reality that perfection takes time, often a lot more than it used to.

Head tables call for drama.
At the International Spy Museum, Danielle & Peter’s head table became the focal point of the reception. Suspended florals brought color and scale into a sleek, modern space, while candles and layered textures grounded the design to create intimacy beneath. The effect was both dramatic and inviting, a statement that marked the couple’s place in the room. For us, flowers aren’t just about filling space, they’re about shaping it: directing attention, softening architecture, and transforming even the most contemporary venue into something romantic and unforgettable.

A floral palette of rich jewel tones have a way of redefining a room... For Alex & John`s wedding at the Hotel Monaco, layers of burgundy, eggplant, and textured seasonal blooms brought depth and drama to the ceremony space. The architecture was already striking, but the flowers changed the atmosphere, creating warmth, intimacy, and focus where guests gathered. That’s the impact of investing in floral design: it goes beyond color. Flowers set the mood, shape the experience, and ensure your wedding feels unforgettable from the very first impression.

Did you know that baby’s breath can be a showstopper all on its own? 🌟
At Meaghan & David’s Willard Hotel wedding, we used this delicate bloom to create everything from airy, elevated centerpieces to rings of the tiny flowers to circle candles and lush runners on the head table. The result? A look that’s both ethereal and elegant, proving that baby’s breath can be more than just a filler flower. It’s a versatile, often budget-friendly option that brings a soft, romantic vibe to any wedding. Who’s ready to fall in love with this understated beauty? 😍
