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. The bride choose a rich summer palette for her colors, which included deep purples, cranberry, and sunny pops of yellow. It was a fun combination to work with, and the final effect was absolutely stunning. We also worked with the couple to create truly custom centerpieces, using wine bottles and the candle holders, and custom painting containers silver to compliment her 'starry night' theme. Check it out! Style Me Pretty & Poppy Floral Thank you to Deborah Zoe … [Read more...]
Market Finds, February
There are many types of flowers that are typically thought of as wedding flowers, our most popularly requested flowers are peonies, garden roses, dahlias, and ranunculus. Other popular accents include craspedia and succulents, to name a few. So I wanted to start a new blog category that focused on the more unknown items that come into the Boston flower market that brides may not think of, but add some diversity and uniqueness to their arrangements. This month's choice is the incredibly versatile Bridal's Wreath Spiraea (appropriately named). A deep green branch with little white flowers, the branches are delicate enough to add to a low centerpiece or even a bridal bouquet, but I also love … [Read more...]

Whatever you think it takes…double that.
I wanted to take a moment to give my clients, past, present, and future, a little glimpse into what it took to earn the recently awarded 'Best of Weddings' title. First off, I was totally shocked when I got the call. In the small business world, you often feel like you're reaching .005% of your client base, floating along with all this passion, drive, and determination, yet no one is even aware you exist. Marketing dollars are tight, and you never know what's going to offer any return on investment. It was absolutely amazing to have such a large and well known wedding industry leader say "we saw you, we think you're great, and we're going to let everyone else know too." I originally … [Read more...]
