Washington DC Harlem Renaissance Photoshoot at the Ritz Carlton

January 6, 2018

I am super excited to share this Washington DC Harlem Renaissance Photoshoot at the Ritz Carlton.  I loved the all white floral decor against the black linens and gold accents.  Add a glamorous venue and gorgeous models, and you have the setting for pure magic!

The larger elevated arrangement was a simple design of hydrangea and garden roses, accented with some “dripping” phalaenopsis orchids for some added glam.  For the smaller arrangement, I used amaryllis, astrantia, ranunculus, and minimal greenery.

For me, these florals really illustrated what it means to collaborate with other vendors to make beautiful inspiration images.  While the floral designs here are by no means the focus of the shoot, they add to the overall look of the shoot and I couldn’t be happier with the results!
