Westin Georgetown Wedding

Westin Georgetown Wedding
Bride and groom under a dramatic elevated floral arrangement of hydrangea, roses, and eucalyptus for their Westin Georgetown Wedding

Summers in DC can get steamy, which makes for a difficult decision when the bride and groom want an outdoor wedding but also don’t want to sweat the small stuff! Enter the perfect idea: bring the outdoors in. Alex and Ryan’s garden wedding actually took place inside, but you’d never know it from the lush greenery and garden flowers decorating the Promenade for the Westin Georgetown wedding.

Alex’ bouquet was a picture of romance, with blush garden roses, loose tendrils of jasmine vine and the most luscious, blush Cafe au Lait dahlia. The similar floral palette was perfect against the blush bridesmaid dresses.

A romantic mirrored sign greeted guests for the ceremony, with eucalyptus and flowers adding a soft, romantic touch. The candle-lined aisle drew guests to the altar, where two lush urns flanked the ceremony for the Westin Georgetown wedding ceremony.

Garlands are so perfect for a garden aesthetic, and each of the long tables featured these rows of greenery accented with flowers in blush and cream hues, further finished with candles along the length of the table. Round tables featured a low compote filled to overflowing with romantic hydrangea, roses, Queen Anne’s lace and more. Creating a striking focal point for the Westin Georgetown wedding reception was an elevated piece that framed the couple along the head table.

The season for sparkle begins. ✨ From Thanksgiving dinners to New Year’s soirées, November is when party plans come to life — and our design calendar shifts from bouquets to ballrooms.

Our installation at the Watergate Hotel mixed metallics and white roses in sculptural form - proof that holiday design can be both organic and glamorous. Because at its core, festivity is about transformation: turning a space into a feeling, a table into a gathering, and light into warmth.

Let’s talk about the “just a few extra blooms” request. Spoiler: there’s no such thing as extra in the world of flowers. Every stem you see, from delicate sweet peas and perfect ranunculus to lush roses, was bought with intention because flowers are literally our business. 🌸

The blooms for a single flat lay? Retail price any where from $20 to $75 and up. And. Up. Why the mark up? Because selling flowers is how we make our living. It pays the team, the rent, the cooler, transportation costs, and more. (It’s not just petals and poetry over here). Multiply that by 50 - 70 weddings a season and you’re looking at over $3k in gift blooms. That doesn’t include the myriad of other free blooms we get asked for: cake flowers, passing tray flowers, sample arrangements and more. That’s not generosity. That’s payroll.

Here’s how we handle it: We offer all our couples the option to include flat lay florals. If yes, we build it into the proposal so everyone wins. The couple gets their dreamy detail shots, the photographer gets beautiful product to work with, and we stay in business. Fairness (and beauty) for all.

No shade to photographers and other wedding vendors here. But boundaries are healthy. Everyone’s work deserves compensation. Be kind. Ask questions. Respect the craft. Love the results.
