To complement this gorgeous reception space in the Boston Public Library, we had a variety of high and low centerpieces containing a variety of cream, blush, and light lavender-colored florals. The high centerpieces were especially striking against the rich dark decor of the Library, standing on gold fairytale pedestals and featuring flowing eucalyptus accents. The bouquets featured peonies, garden roses, and blushing brides in a variety of creams and blush, as well as dusty miller and silver dollar eucalyptus to add just the right touch of texture. All of the floral elements came together to create the classic English garden look that the stunning couple wanted. We felt so lucky to help … [Read more...]
The Liberty Hotel, May 29
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...]

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...]

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...]

So we just had to share this latest e-mail from a very sweet couple, Kathy & Colin, who were married this past March.
