Cherry Blossom Engagement Photos and Wedding Flowers at The Mandarin Oriental in Washington D.C.

With cherry blossom season almost here, I thought this would be the perfect time to share photos from Erin and Ryan’s wedding at The Mandarin Oriental DC. Planned by the hotel’s Director of Catering, Michael Deltette, no detail was left unnoticed. Even though we did not meet until her wedding day, Erin could not have been a kinder or more easy going bride!

The couple’s sweet little King Charles may or may not have stolen the show:)

This swing photo may be one of my favorites of all time! So much love!

If you had any doubt about the Mandarin being the perfect hotel, these windows will convince you.

Classic Washington at its finest.

It’s all in the details!

This rounded yet organic bouquet had all of our favorite flowers! Garden roses, dahlias, hellebore, astilbe and blushing bride protea.

The couple said their “I Do’s” in the Mandarin’s Garden Terrace Courtyard under an arch of wild greenery and roses in an asymmetrical design.

Seal it with the kiss of true love.

The escort is always one of my favorite pieces to design because it is meant to be a showstopper and can be a little different from all the other arrangements at the reception.

The Mandarin Oriental has partnered with Buttercream Bakeshop. They do a beautiful job with their cakes and a small touch of fresh flowers is all that is needed!

These flowers could be described as roses and hydrangea in rounded style with trailing greenery.
