Westin Georgetown DC Wedding
Welcome to a Tropical Paradise in the Heart of DC

Who says you can’t bring the vibrant charm of the tropics to Washington DC? This Westin Georgetown DC wedding, bursting with hues of peach, orange, and hot pink, showed us just how it’s done. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and an extraordinary display of florals that left us swooning!

Bouquets That Stole the Show

Jasmine’s bouquet was nothing short of a tropical dream. Imagine a blend of Shimmer, Free Spirit, and Pink Floyd roses, each petal more vivid than the last. The addition of peach stock, gloriosa lilies, and monstera leaves added that perfect exotic touch, making it a true masterpiece. And let’s not overlook the bridesmaids, who carried similar blooms, complementing the bride beautifully.

A Groom’s Romantic Surprise

The groom’s boutonniere was an elegant pink mini-calla lily, but the real showstopper was the surprise he had for his bride: a deconstructed arch that was a vision of floral artistry. Pink mokara orchids and bougainvillea mixed with orange and hot pink roses created a stunning backdrop for their vows. Talk about a breathtaking way to say “I do”!

Centerpieces That Captivated

Each table at the reception was centered with arrangements that were a feast for the eyes. From hot pink ranunculus to orange roses, peach stock, and hot pink snapdragons, the centerpieces were a kaleidoscope of colors. The inclusion of orchids, gloriosa, and the unique mini ornamental pineapples, all nestled in monstera foliage, was a nod to the couple’s playful and adventurous spirit.

This wedding at the Westin Georgetown in Washington, DC was more than just a union of two hearts; it was a celebration that brought a slice of the tropics to DC, and we can’t get enough of it. The couple’s vision, combined with the undeniable talent of their florist, transformed their day into an unforgettable explosion of color and joy.

Advice I’d give you as a florist if I wasn’t afraid of hurting your feelings…

1. Creativity costs money

Thoughtful choices matter. Floral design comes from premium blooms, careful mechanics, and hours of labor. Often, investing in a few impactful designs creates more magic than trying to do a little bit everywhere.

2. Pinterest isn’t reality.

Styled shoots, filters, and out-of-season flowers can set unrealistic expectations. A skilled florist translates your inspiration into something real, beautiful, and perfectly suited to your wedding.

3. Your choice of wedding planner can be a 🚩

A strong planner protects your vision and collaborates with your creative team. But not every planner has the same level of experience, and misplaced trust can cost you money, time, and beauty. Surround yourself with professionals who set you up for success. Protecting quality is how your vision comes to life

4. Repurposing only works with a plan.

Yes, some ceremony flowers can move into the reception, but it requires staff, timing, and logistics. With forethought, it’s seamless and impactful. Without it, it can create stress or compromise the design.

5. Timing is everything.

Flowers are living things with a short window of perfection. A carefully built schedule protects bouquets, keeps installations fresh, and ensures your flowers look their best when it matters most.

🌸 And one note for fellow vendors: florists care deeply. I don’t know a single one who doesn’t. We want to give couples our very best work. But flowers are perishable, which means details matter. When timelines push us to deliver too early, when arrangements are dismantled without our input, or when fading blooms are photographed as “detail shots,” the couple’s vision suffers. Collaboration is what protects the flowers and, ultimately, the experience we all want for our clients.

The truth may not always be easy to hear, but hearing it early will save stress, protect your vision, and give you flowers that feel unforgettable for all the right reasons. ✨
Victorian elegance met modern romance at the Fairmont. ✨ Centerpieces have the power to set the tone for an entire ballroom. Half the guest tables featured tall silver candelabras topped with textured designs of hydrangea, roses, dahlias, and lisianthus in shades of pink and burgundy. More than accents, the elevated designs added height, repetition, and cohesion throughout the room. The balance of tables held silver footed bowls brimming with the same rich palette, styled in a looser, organic shape. Together, the mix of height, texture, and candlelight created a romantic atmosphere that was timeless and unforgettable — the kind of detail that takes a wedding from beautiful to truly show-stopping. 🌸✨

Diane & Michael’s autumn wedding at the Westin Georgetown redefined fall florals. 💙 Instead of the traditional rust and burgundy hues, their palette celebrated cooler tones: light blue hydrangea, lavender stock, and blue and lavender delphinium layered with roses and spray roses, even whimsical purple globe allium. Lush greenery framed the look, adding depth and texture. The result was elegant and unexpected — a design that felt fresh, refined, and utterly romantic in every detail. ✨
