Adriana & Robert: Omni Parker House, Boston, MA

Adriana and Robert had their reception at the Omni Parker House in Boston, MA.  The Omni (although one of the more challenging venues to deliver to) is one of my favorite Boston wedding venues, especially since my sister got married there in October 2011.  Their wedding was featured on the Omni Hotels & Resorts website, photos by Heather Parker Photography.  Not only does the Omni have a stunning ballroom, but the event coordinators and hotel staff are always extremely nice and accommodating.  Adriana actually found me through finding pictures of my sisters wedding bouquet online, which is why their bouquets were quite similar!  Got to love those Picasso calla lilies!

Adriana was so easy to work with.  She had a great idea of the colors and details she wanted to make this such an elegant affair.  Along with the flowers, she incorporated crystal and silver candle holders around the reception space.  Adriana was so sweet to post such a kind review on Wedding Wire, especially so soon after her wedding!

"Allison was a complete dream to work with from the beginning of my wedding planning until the day of the wedding. I planned my wedding from Florida, so there was a lot of email communication, and Allison was always quick to respond. I even had other table decor shipped to her and she brought it to our hotel and set it up. I never even saw our flowers until we walked into the reception room and was totally amazed. She has a great eye for floral design, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. THANK YOU!"

Thank you Adriana, and congratulations to you and Robert!

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.

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.
