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.

Jeff & Kendra
Jeff & Kendra were married at the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation.

Jeff & Becky
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...]

Celebrating Families Gala at The Charles Hotel
We were honored to be the selected florist for the night for the Celebrating Families Gala at the Charles Hotel in Harvard Square for the second year in a row. This a special event that raises money each year to help out hundreds of Cambridge and local area families. This event was special for us since we had the incredible task of constructing an 8' high by 10' wide flower wall! It took a lot of planning and coordination...and a whole lot of greenery...but ended up absolutely amazing, and was a total show stopper for the guests. For this event it was used as a backdrop for photos, but we thought it would be absolutely stunning as a ceremony backdrop, and could be designed to fit any … [Read more...]

We were so excited to see our work published on one of our favorite wedding blogs - Style Me Pretty! This was a gorgeous summer wedding at the Fairmont Battery Wharf in Boston.
