Fall Wedding with Touches of Blue

Fall Wedding with Touches of Blue

Often in the fall, couples gravitate toward warm hues. But for Rachelle and Brian, they were drawn to classic fall wedding in whites with touches of blue. The touches of blue featured throughout, from bridesmaid dresses to flowers. For Rachelle’s bouquet, the floral palette consisted of garden roses, stock, lisianthus and dahlias, accented with champagne toned Quicksand roses and light blue delphinium. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were similar, accented with brown scabiosa pods for a touch of fall texture.

With a slight fall chill in the air. the gorgeous October wedding day begin at Dahlgren chapel. A simple altar piece of white hydrangea, gladiola, snapdragons, and roses, accented with light blue delphinium, were created for this gorgeous and simple chapel located at the heart of Georgetown University.  It is a popular place to wed for our couples who attended or met at Georgetown.

For the reception, low centerpieces in shades of cream and ivory were accented with light blues and brown, similar to the bridal bouquet. Built in bronzed ceramic footed bowls, the centerpieces had a warm, rustic fall feel, but with a classic twist.  Scabiosa pods added that touch of fall texture to remind the guests of the chill in the air. The bride and groom, who met at Georgetown, used locations on campus as their table names for a personal touch.

As baseball season wraps, we’re celebrating a win of our own: bringing Petal’s Edge floral magic to Nationals Park for a special event. While most days take us to historic houses and grand ballrooms, we love the chance to design somewhere unexpected. Because flowers don’t just belong in gardens. They shine in stadiums too!
When the bride wears black, everything else falls into place. At Lauren & Alan’s Hotel Monaco wedding, the candlelight flickered against layers of greenery, lanterns, and shadow. The palette whispered more than it spoke. White flowers wouldn’t have belonged here; this was a story told in texture, depth, and restraint.

There’s power in contrast: light against dark, softness against structure, the unexpected choice that somehow feels inevitable once you see it. The design was less about decoration and more about atmosphere. Mysterious, elegant, and entirely unforgettable.

Florals in full dramatic mode for The Scout Guide Alexandria launch party at the Hotel Heron. A trunk bursting with roses, a plum-and-black arch layered in texture and light. Modern romance with an editorial edge. The evening’s palette played with tension: shadow against shine, petals against metal.

We love when flowers step outside the ballroom and into the spotlight, blurring the line between installation and arrangement. These designs were made to stop traffic, literally and figuratively.
