Coreen & Brian: Granite Links Golf Club Wedding

I am always so excited to hear from recently engaged Bentley alumni, so I was thrilled to be a part of Coreen and Brian's wedding!  Brian and I were in the same orientation group, and he is one of the nicest, sweetest guys you'll ever meet.  I knew Coreen through a mutual friend at Bentley, and although I didn't know her as well as Brian, I absolutely loved working with her and getting to know her better this past year.  I also need to thank  Kate, our mutual friend, for passing my info along - all the way from Texas - to Coreen!

Coreen and Brian wanted to use bright fall colors, like magenta and bright orange, for their October wedding.  They also wanted to incorporate branches and pumpkins to really bring the outside in.  After days and days of rain, Coreen and Brian had a gorgeous wedding day with stunning views of the Boston skyline from Granite Links Golf Club in Quincy, MA.

The bride's bouquet was made up of celosia, orchids, calla lilies, roses, berries, protea pin cushion, dahlias, and safari sunset.

The bridesmaids carried celosia, calla lilies, roses, dahlias, berries and safari sunset.

Half of the centerpieces were low arrangements of celosia, dahlias, protea pin cushion, calla lilies, roses, berries, safari sunset and curly willow branches.  The bride and a few talented helpers made the adorable pumpkin table numbers.

The remaining centerpieces were tall arrangements of curly willow branches with hydrangea and Chinese lantern branches.

Heather & Mike: Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center

First I have to thank super talented, Heather Parker, for passing my info along to Heather & Mike; click here to see a sneak peak of this wedding on her blog or here for more pictures on Facebook!

I met Heather and Mike at a little cafe on Newbury Street the day after Thanksgiving last year.  They were such a sweet couple, and I so enjoyed sitting with them talking about their wedding plans, rather than battling the crowds of people shopping outside!  Heather and Mike are both very artistic and creative, so the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center seemed like the perfect venue for their wedding.  Their bright color scheme of orange and blue was used throughout the wedding ceremony and reception, and it was the perfect pop of color for this early fall wedding.

 The bride carried an orange and coral bouquet of dahlias, calla lilies, roses, and hypericum berries.

 The bridesmaids carried similar bouquets with roses, dahlias and hypericum berries.

 There were two style of low centerpieces, both with bright orange flowers in blue ribbon wrapped vases.  The first style was a mix of roses, dahlias, calla lilies, celosia, protea pin cushions, button poms and hypericum berries.  

 The second style centerpiece was a trio of vases with a mix of orange and coral flowers in each.

 Cocktail hour tables had small arrangements of dahlias with hypericum berries and bear grass accents.

 Chair ends of baby's breath for the ceremony

 The bridal party made and hung all the fun orange and blue tissue paper balls that were used outside for the ceremony, and around the room inside for bright pops of color.

There are a few different entrances to the CMAC, so we tied a small bunch of flowers around the two posts at the bottom of the staircase to direct guests to the wedding entrance.

Congrats Heather & Mike - it was such a pleasure to be a part of your wedding!

Sharon & George: Andover Country Club

I am determined to catch my blog up this week, and first up are Sharon and George!  Sharon is actually my aunt, and I am always happy to be a part of friends and family members weddings :)  Sharon and George got married on what I think may have been the hottest day of the summer, with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony at Andover Country Club.  No flowers were needed for the ceremony, as the space was surrounded by blooming gardens and views of the golf course.

 The bride's bouquet was made up of roses, calla lilies and stephanotis.

 The bridesmaid bouquets were made up of roses, dahlias and calla lilies.

 The reception centerpieces were made up of hydrangea, spray roses and gerbera daisies.

Amy & Chet: Blithewold Mansion, Bristol, RI

Amy & Chet got married at Blithewold Mansion in Bristol, RI.  Blithewold is a gorgeous venue made up of lush gardens, a historical mansion, and views of Narragansett Bay.  Amy wanted to use similar flowers in her bouquets and centerpieces to the flowers growing in the garden all around the venue.

Bridesmaid bouquets of dahlias, roses, stock, freesia, and queen anne's lace.

 Amy collected various sized milk vases to use in the centerpieces.

 Each table had a different mix of vases.  

The bride wanted mirrors in the center of the tables to reflect the candle light.

The centerpieces were made up of dahlias, snapdragons, stock, roses, freesia, ranunculus and queen anne's lace.

 Unfortunately some pretty strong thunderstorms rolled in right before the ceremony, 

so the ceremony and cocktail hour were held inside the mansion.

I really like these pedestal style vases.  It has a very English garden, vintage feel.

Congratulations to Amy & Chet - I hope the rain didn't last long!
