Winter Wedding at the Fairmont

Winter Wedding at the Fairmont

For their winter wedding at the Fairmont Hotel, Theodora and John imagined a palette of delicate textures, wintry whites, golds and grays. To start the day, Theodora’s parents send her this lovely arrangement in whites and blush pinks. Winter has some of the best flowers available (surprising!), and so we gathered a mix of peonies, lilac, and ranunculus accented with dusty miller and styled in a birch bark covered container.

Theodora’s bouquet featured classic white and ivory flowers. The bouquet was designed ivory garden roses, roses, ranunculus, stock, and delicate spray allium for a snowy-inspired touch.

As guests arrived at the site, they were greeted with an expressive design of tall curly willow branches springing from a collar of white hydrangea ringing the neck of the vase. The design was finished with white dendrobium orchids nested in the branches to create a wintry bloomed look. Cocktail tables held a mix small square vases with pave designs of ivory roses and more textured designs of white hydrangea, roses, stock, and dusty miller.

The tall reception arrangements were positioned in the Colonnade to create both a backdrop of winter branches and a focal point of white snowy designs of massed baby’s breath.

The reception tables featured a mix of three complimentary designs. Tall fluted glass vases held ethereal yet impressive designs of baby’s breath. Tall cylinder vases held curly willow branches stemming from a collar of white hydrangea, with white orchids nested in the upper branches. Finally, frosted cylinder vases held wintry designs of hydrangea, stock, roses, spray roses, and spray allium accented with silver brunea pods and dusty miller.

The 2026 Folger Gala had a vision for an event that was described by words like opulent Regency, peacock feathers, trailing plants, still life, Bridgerton. The linen choices were vibrant, full of pattern, and eclectic. We designed their arrangements with movement, color, texture and flower choices that worked with lighting for a truly incredible event. 

Never underestimate the power of color and texture to make a big statement.
