Check out our recent featured wedding on the ever stylish Borrowed & Blue! This wedding was a blast to put together, Allison and Jason were the sweetest couple to work with, and were ready to party at their amazing New Year's Eve celebration! How many couple's get a world class fireworks display at the end of their reception!? For their winter ceremony and reception we balanced the crisp white branches and sparkling garlands with rich red roses, gold pedestals, and birch wrapped cylinders. A special thank you to Peterson Party Center for their stunning 'white birch' table linens, and of course the superb talents of Brittany and her team and BKB & Co. for capturing everyone's … [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. For the ceremony we used the front half of our modern black metal chuppah, and created more of an arch feel, softening the whole look with cream fabric draping and trailing florals. 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...]
Chatham Bars Inn
For this seaside wedding at The Chatham Bars Inn, rich romantic color was draped over every aspect of the day. We loved taking the color palette and floral pattern of the bridesmaid dresses and running with it! The bride's bouquet became almost an exact match for the dress pattern, while the bridesmaids carried complimentary white bouquets to accent. We were also quite excited to dress up the 'Best Dog'. Some of our favorite details of this wedding include the hanging florals wreaths off the ballroom chandeliers, and individual bud vases for the couple's escort cards.

Vermont Countryside
We'll gladly escape the city when it means heading north to Vermont for a beautiful October wedding. Our bride was a big sunflower fan, so we brought them into her wedding in a big way! The tented reception featured large arrangements of sunflowers, accenting by traditionally detailed centerpieces that pulled in the vibrant yellow in a unique way, followed by tables of floating candles and lush hydrangea arrangements. A special thank you to our friends at LoLo Event Design for styling the amazing tables and linens, and custom lighting patterns seen throughout. Images by: Nathan Peel Photography … [Read more...]
Harvard University
Mia & Glenn married just steps away from where they first met, tying the knot in the Knafel Center at Harvard University. What was once an old gym, the room became transformed by over 1,500 red roses in dramatic displays down their long reception tables. We loved the use of a singular flower to create an incredible statement throughout the event, showing that the simplest of ideas, when well executed, create a stunning effect.

Enjoy! (Special thanks to Jim Canole for the photos!) … [Read more...]

The summer wedding season is wrapping up, and the fall season is just about the get going in full force!

Creating a Bridal Bouquet
When putting together wedding flowers, one of the most important details every time is the Bride's bouquet. Out of every stem that comes in for the flowers, we always pull aside the absolute best one's for the bride! We recently had the amazingly talented Carly Gillis in to the studio to take some photos and she ended up capturing the incredibly detailed process we go through every time a bridal bouquet is created. Check out the images below to see just how much love goes into each bouquet! The first step is to start organized. To make sure every bride is getting as much out of her budget, we price the bouquet practically down to stem to get in as much gorgeous flowers as possible. … [Read more...]
