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.

Nikki & Joe: Omni Parker House Hotel

I loved working with Nikki and Joe.  They were such an easy going couple and totally focused on the big picture (you know, having a great time at your wedding and spending the rest of your lives together?!).  They gave me a color scheme whites and light pink, and an overall style and feel that they were looking to achieve.

Thank you Nikki and Joe for being so easy to work with; it was such a pleasure!  I also want to thank the staff and kitchen guys at the Omni Parker House that let us borrow their carts, hog the tiny elevator, and cut through their busy kitchen so many times!  

Kristen & Jay - Willowdale Estate

Kristen and Jay got married at Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, MA.  Willowdale is such a great venue; it reminds me of an old English cottage with lush gardens all around it.  The bouquets and centerpieces were packed full of all my favorites - peonies, garden roses, sweet peas, the list goes on! - so I was extremely excited for these flowers!  Kristen is a friend of mine from college, so I was fortunate enough to also attend this gorgeous wedding.  Congrats Kristen and Jay - I'm so happy for you both!
