Elegant Willard Intercontinental Hotel Wedding

Willard Intercontinental Hotel wedding flowers

Lisa and Liam’s wedding was every bit as elegant as their historic Willard Intercontinental Hotel DC location. Embracing the soft ivory, champagne and peach hues of the wedding Lisa’s bouquet featured garden roses, spray roses, ranunculus, and stock, the perfect complement to the elegant Willard Intercontinental Wedding. Boutonnieres featured a classic rose accented with bear grass.

The ceremony in the Crystal Room made quite the statement. A lucite chuppah focused the attention for the ceremony, with the front valance adorned with a lush line of hydrangea and roses in classic whites and ivories. Flanking the chuppah, lush arrangements of hydrangea, roses,  spray roses and orchids stood atop pedestals of varying heights.

The reception in the Grand Ballroom featured a mix of three separate but complimentary centerpiece designs. Providing the initial drama in the reception of the room, tall glass trumpet vases held a lot elegant design for white hydrangea, roses, spray roses, and orchids with touches of peach and champagne stock and roses providing a hint of color. Floating candles surrounded the base of these arrangements. Long tables mixed things up in the room, with flowers and taper candles interspersed along the length of the table. Finally, the balance of the round tables featured an elegant glass footed bowl with a richly textured design of wedding flowers in peaches, champagnes and ivories.

It’s been a very long time since floral centerpieces were just flowers in a vase. Today’s centerpieces have multiple elements, loads of candles, things that have to be assembled and even built on-site. And yet the presumption persists that the florist is just going to show up with a box that can be left in the corner for someone else to place on the table. 

Putting aside the fact that we take far more pride in our work than that… to say that we value logistics and planning is an understatement!! And logistics are truly our skill set. We can tell you how many man hours a particular installation will take and can design for efficiency. It’s truly our super power.

Most floral design relies on other things being in place. Not useful? “You can get into the room at this time.” Actually useful? “The bar you’re building that cascading piece on will in place no later than X o’clock.” But more than that? Start realizing that event demands are not what they used to be.

I love eavesdropping. 😜

While setting up for the new Georgetown Citibank, we overheard someone say, “This is the moment.” ❤️

And I couldn’t have said it better myself. Because when flowers are doing their job, they don’t just fill a space. They create a moment you can feel.
