Winery-Inspired St Francis Hall Wedding

We must confess. We fall in love with our couples as much as we do with the designs we work together to create with them. Sasha had a grand, winery-inspired St Francis Hall wedding – modern and elegant, classic to the core, with rustic winery-inspired touches throughout. Blending those elements proved stunning. Love, love, LOVE! Sasha’s bouquet featured the simple and clean modern lines of burgundy cymbidium orchids, eggplant mini-calla lilies, and ivory roses finished with curly willow branches vining lightly around the perimeter of the bouquet for a rustic touch to evoke the feel of a winery. Burgundy cymbidium orchids graced her hair. The bridesmaids carried lush bouquets of ivory and pale pink roses, burgundy cymbidiums, and burgundy mini-calla lilies finished with earthy touches of scabiosa pods and seeded eucalyptus.

The ceremony took place at Holy Comforter Church. We love how gleefully happy they look. As guests arrived at the winery-inspired St Francis Hall wedding, they were greeted with an elegant, handblown glass vase filled with wine corks! You would not believe how many wine corks there were! (Special thanks to Fibre Space who put us in touch with La Fromagerie. It’s great to have friends in our Old Town business community.) The vase was topped with a dramatic design of red antique hydrangea, red orchids, Black Magic and Quicksand roses, and burgundy spray roses finished with burgundy hanging amaranthus and seeded eucalyptus foliage. The reception alternated between elegant tall and low designs in rich shades of wine and champagne.

Tall designs were elevated on an elegant, old world-styled cathedral candlestick, each holding classic designs of hydrangea, roses, spray roses finished with burgundy hanging amaranthus and seeded eucalyptus, the hues alternating between deep rich burgundies and champagnes – fitting for a winery-inspired St Francis Hall Wedding. A small, wooden wine crates held the low designs, each arrangement featuring roses, hydrangea, dahlia, callas, and spray roses finished with rustic accents of kiwi vine. A dramatic cascade of wedding flowers proceeded down one side of the cake.

Airy. Intentional. Unexpected.
Bouquets like this don’t just come together. They’re built with a designer’s eye and an engineer’s precision. Structured, sculptural, and perfectly imperfect.

The wired bouquet is having a moment, and we’re all in. Staying at the forefront of floral design means constantly evolving our techniques. Craftsmanship, mechanics, and keeping our skills as fresh as our stems! Modern bridal design? You’re looking at it.

Hair? Done. Makeup? Glowing. Bouquet?

A dream in toffee and white. And when the champagne tower hits just right? That’s the Petal’s Edge touch. 🍾💐

From behind-the-scenes to final frame, this shoot was full of joy, movement, and flower-filled magic. Because designing moments that feel as good as they look? That’s kind of our thing.

We’re never one to shy away from a floral moment, and at a venue like Congressional Country Club, the stakes (and the ceilings) are high. For Rebecca & Richard`s celebration, we played up the grandeur of the space with towering centerpieces and sprawling greenery that brought movement and life to each table. A timeless green-and-white palette with layers of texture gave this classic ballroom a fresh, organic twist. ⁣

Sun-drenched florals, bold texture, and one unforgettable chuppah moment.

For Aliza & Alex’s summer celebration at Oxon Hill Manor, we went full color-forward. Coral peonies were the undeniable star. Paired with wildflower-inspired details like daisies, snapdragons, freesia, and even herbs, the floral design struck that perfect balance between luxe and lighthearted.

From the birch pole chuppah trailing with blooms to vibrant, garden-style centerpieces, this tented affair radiated joyful energy - proof that color can absolutely be elevated!

Towering magnolia branches brought winter warmth and botanical drama to Aurora & Anil’s wedding at the Park Hyatt. With sculptural centerpieces and lush magnolia runners lining the long tables, this celebration proved that winter weddings can be rich in texture and full of life, no evergreen or holly required! ✨ ⁣

A ceremony space that proves minimal can still be magical. 🌿✨

Amanda & Matthew exchanged vows beneath a ceiling accented with smilax and twinkle lights, and a backdrop of Italian ruscus. Two wine barrels grounded the scene, each topped with loose, organic arrangements in soft winter whites and lush greens. So perfectly at home in this modern winery space!

Simple. Airy. Effortlessly romantic. Just how we like it.
