The courtyard of the Liberty was undeniably the perfect setting for Jessica and Jason to tie the knot. All the flowy, enchanting elements of the ceremony came together so nicely there - from the two magnificent topiaries that stood tall on either side of the aisle's entrance to the gorgeous floral arch that Jessica and Jason said their "I do's” under. For the reception, the couple chose a variety of centerpieces which incorporated both high and low styles. The high centerpieces sat elegantly in gold mercury vases and were surrounded by votives, creating a very soft, romantic ambiance for the reception. Jessica and Jason came up with the clever idea to reuse their bridesmaids’ bouquets as … [Read more...]
Omni Parker House
On May 21st we had the privilege of working with the beautiful and historic Boston Omni for Elyssa and Harry’s big day. The couple chose a palette of soft white florals to complement their sparkly, modern decor. Elyssa's bouquet featured gorgeous roses and ranunculus, flowing sweet peas and lilacs, and Dutch hydrangeas accented with blush peonies to add an understated touch of color. The centerpieces tied together the overall romantic and elegant feel of the evening, showcased in a variety of high and low silver mercury containers. We are totally grateful that Molly Anne Photography was able to capture our beautiful arrangements so spectacularly! … [Read more...]
Moraine Farm, May 14th
This past weekend we visited one of our favorite outdoor venues, Moraine Farm in Beverly Ma. The bride and groom wanted a fun, colorful, but romantic event, and we had a great time with the palette of blush, lavender, and peaches for the bouquets and ceremony, deepening to bright pinks, corals, and oranges for the reception. This was also the first appearance of our 2016 birch chuppah - a simpler more cost effective way to get a natural chuppah on site. And it was super fun to decorate!! Special thanks to Moraine Farm and Fireside Catering for hosting us. From the Bride: "Those flowers were unbelievable, We cannot thank you enough. I've got to be honest, I probably never notice flowers … [Read more...]

Poppy Floral teamed up with the talented LoLo Event Design to create a one of a kind, delightfully detailed wedding day for Kristen & Noah.

There wasn't a single space that didn't get the special treatment, including the outside patio where we strung over 400 roses to swing in the ocean breeze. One of our favorite features of … [Read more...]
Boston Public Library
We were so excited to step into one of Boston's most iconic landmarks to bring Katie & Julian's vision to life. From the beginning the bride knew she wanted lots of colors and unique touches. We took her suggestion of copper touches and had a blast creating a one of king copper pipe arch for the ceremony, customizing a copper pipe escort card installation, and detailing her reception tables with garlands featuring hand-cut copper leaves. It all came together for a memorable evening filled with beautiful Poppy Floral touches. Images by: Ashley O'Dell Photography … [Read more...]

Welcoming Spring…
Being a wedding florist is never easy - whether it's deciphering exactly what a bride's envisioning, dealing with New England traffic...and weather...or just handling the epic task of delivering 20 centerpieces in 30 minutes or less, our end goal is always the same - to completely wow our client's on one of the most important days of their lives. So we just had to share this latest e-mail from a very sweet couple, Kathy & Colin, who were married this past March. Their wedding day actually received the very last snow fall of this past winter - so it was certainly a day to celebrate! (Thank you to Michael Brook Photography for the lovely images!) I wanted to thank you so, so much … [Read more...]

PF is Featured on The Well Groomed Groom!
We were excited to learn this morning that one of our largest weddings from last year is now featured on The Well Groomed Groom. A big thank you to Mark Davidson Photography for capturing this wedding so beautifully. The ceremony and reception were held at The State Room, a Longwood Events venue, located at 60 State Street in Boston.

The bride has a vibrant palette of deep raspberries, pinks, and soft touches of peaches and cream to pull the look together. For the reception we mixed centerpiece styles to … [Read more...]
