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.

This bouquet lives rent free in my head, but not for the reason you think.⁣
⁣
Our bride, Ana, had chosen stunning fuchsia cattleya orchids for her bouquet, so, as we always do, we ordered them well in advance. When our flowers arrived, I opened the box to find... white cattleya orchids. Beautiful, but not what our bride wanted. We immediately called our wholesaler and arranged for another shipment.⁣
⁣
Two days later, I opened the second box. White orchids. Again.⁣
⁣
This is the kind of moment that tries a florist`s soul.⁣
⁣
We arranged for a third shipment to arrive Saturday morning while preparing backup plans we hoped we`d never need. We debated telling Ana what was happening, but ultimately decided our job wasn`t to hand her our problem. Our job was to solve it.⁣
⁣
The correct orchids arrived Saturday morning. Ana walked down the aisle carrying the bouquet she`d dreamed of. She never knew any of this had happened.⁣
⁣
The flowers are only part of what you`re hiring when you chose a florist. You`re also hiring someone who will fight for your vision. Who will MacGyver like their life depends on it. Because substitutions aren`t made casually; they`re made only after every reasonable option has been exhausted.⁣
⁣
There`s an ethical dilemma at the heart of this story. As the bride, would you have wanted to know? As the florist, what would you have done?⁣

Every venue has its own personality, and St. Francis Hall certainly does. The stone walls, the arches, the sense of history in the room. As a florist, my job is never to overpower that character. It is to design flowers that feel intentional in the space.⁣
⁣
For Camille & Corwin’s wedding, we took the design in a completely different direction and brought in tropical elements. Camille carried a cascading bouquet of white anthurium, calla lilies, and orchids, with deep green foliage adding bold shape and texture. The bridesmaids carried simple bouquets of anthurium backed with petite monstera leaves, which felt modern and a little unexpected against the historic hall.⁣
⁣
One of the things I love most about designing at St. Francis Hall is that it never forces couples into a single style. The space has enough presence to support classic elegance, garden romance, or something entirely different. Camille and Corwin’s wedding was a perfect reminder of that.⁣

Lucy & Jack’s summer wedding at St. Francis Hall was filled with soft pastels, graceful chinoiserie, and long tables designed for gathering. Towering arrangements of huck foliage added height and movement, while delicate blooms kept everything light and romantic.

A beautiful celebration for Lucy, the third daughter in a family we’ve been honored to flower. 💕

From timeless to joyful. 🤍🍋

Alessandra and David began their wedding day in the Crystal Room at the Willard beneath our new gold chuppah, where an all white floral design let the beauty of the space and the significance of the ceremony take center stage.

Then the celebration took a turn. Guests were greeted by three sculptural lemon displays at the escort table before entering the Willard Room, where lush color blocked floral centerpieces alternated with tables filled with candlelight. Fresh lemons tucked among the candles added the perfect finishing touch, bringing warmth, color, and a playful nod to the couple’s vision.

Some weddings tell one story. This one unfolded beautifully in two acts. ✨
