Nadea & Esat: Hampshire House

When Nadea first contacted me about flowers for her September wedding, she asked me to meet her at a little place called Bread and Chocolate.  Are you kidding me?  There's a place called Bread and Chocolate?  Why didn't they just name the bakery Heaven!?  If you live in Newton - check it out.  Their hot chocolate will knock your socks off!

The bride carried a soft bouquet of hydrangea, roses, ranunculus, dendrobium orchids, and cymbidium orchids.

The bridesmaids carried a bouquet of roses, orchids, calla lilies and ranunculus.

Nadea came up with such a great color scheme of white, eggplant, cranberry and blush, and it worked so perfectly with her and Esat's venue, The Hampshire House, a historical mansion in Beacon Hill.

Nadea and Esat were able to use the centerpieces for both the ceremony and the reception.  For the ceremony, the arrangements were placed around the room, on the piano and tucked into the floor to ceiling bookshelves.  The arrangements were made up of hydrangea, orchids, berries, roses, ranunculus, calla lilies and safari sunset greens.

For the ceremony we also decorated the mantle, which is where the ceremony took place.  We wanted to create a soft, elegant look with lots of orchids and candlelight to have a backdrop for the ceremony and pictures.

A close-up of all those orchids!  We used white dendrobium orchids in addition to the white and blush cymbidium orchids.

Christine & Tim: Wychmere Beach Club

Christine and Tim wedding took place at the Wychmere Beach Club - another one of my favorite venues (what can I say, I love a water view!).  The Wychmere Beach Club was recently renovated, and I thought it was great before, never mind after it's super stylish reno!  I love this wallpaper!

Christine and Tim had a mix of high and low centerpieces.  The highs were made up of white and green hydrangea, white roses, peonies, dendrobium orchids and curly willow branches.

The low centerpieces were made of hydrangea, roses, calla lilies, lisianthus, and peonies.

I loved Christine's bouquet of mostly purple with white and green accents.  We used stock, peonies, calla lilies, lisianthus, and hydrangea.

The bridesmaid bouquets were mostly white and green with pops of dark purple calla lilies.

Christine's mom carried a small posy bouquet of peonies.

Tim's mom had a calla lily corsage that she was planning to pin onto her clutch purse.

Let's not forget about the guys!  I love how these boutonnieres coordinated together.

 Christine was such a sweet bride, and a pleasure to work with.  I'm so happy for you both!

Dawn & Chris - Ocean Edge

Dawn and Chris got married down the Cape at Ocean Edge in Brewster, MA.  I've known Dawn since college, so I was so happy to be a part of this wedding!  All the bright colors and tropical orchids almost made me forget that it was pouring outside all day!  The weather did not cooperate, but I know that did not stop this couple from having a great time on their wedding day!  Congratulations Dawn & Chris!
