The Last of the 2012 Weddings

This post is about 4 months late, but I can't start the new year off without finishing up the last couple weddings of 2012.  My second to last wedding on 2012 was for Grace and Jason, who got married in Harvard Square, and had their reception at the Sheraton Commander Hotel.  Grace was such a fun bride to work with!  Here are a few pictures from their wedding last October.

The bride's bouquet was made up of calla lilies, roses, orchids, celosia, pin cushions, hypericum berries and safari sunset greens.

The MOH carried a slightly smaller and simpler version of the bride's bouquet.

The table centerpieces were made up of a mix of high and low arrangements.

The tall arrangements were made up of curly willow branches, calla lilies, and mokara orchids.

The bride found the unique bronze urns used for the low centerpieces.  We filled the urns with a mix of seasonal fruits, flowers and greens, which included, roses, celosia, dahlias, pin cushions, berries, pomegranates, orchids, safari sunset greens and more!

 The place card table arrangement was filled with large dahlias, orchids, celosia, safari sunset, and curly willow.

My last wedding of 2012 was Emily & Joseph, who had their reception in the Tirrell Room in Quincy, MA.  The main wedding colors were red wine and gold, but we kept the bride's bouquet on the lighter side with ivory and champagne roses mixed with white ranunculus, accented with gold ribbon.

The bridesmaids carried a mix of roses, spray roses, ranunculus, mums and cremon.

The toss bouquet was made up of a mix of flowers from the bride and bridesmaid bouquets.

 The mothers carried posy bouquets of ivory roses with hypericum berries and accent greens.

Meagan & Jason: Popponesset Inn, Cape Cod Wedding

This next wedding was definitely one of my favorites from this year - bold fall colors, beachy accents, and one of my favorite Cape venues!  Meagan is such a sweetheart, and was so fun to work with.  She sent me a few bouquet pictures for inspiration, and the adorable little starfish for the boutonnieres for this beachy fall Cape Cod wedding.  Congrats to Meagan & Jason!

 The bride carried a bouquet of sunflowers, orchids, roses, calla lilies, gerbera daisies, and accents of greens and starfish.

The MOH carried sunflowers, orchids, roses, calla lilies, gerbera daisies, and accent greens.

 The bridesmaids carried sunflowers, roses, calla lilies, gerbera daisies, and accent greens.

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.

Ana & John: Indian Pond Country Club Wedding

I loved my fall weddings this year, bursting with color, and Ana & John's Indian Pond Country Club wedding was no exception!  Ana and John were really great to work with; they gave me their color scheme and a few flowers they liked and didn't like, and gave me some freedom to take it from there!  

The bride carried a mix of celosia, roses, calla lilies, cremon, gerbera daisies, protea pin cushion, carnations, and seasonal greens.

The bridesmaids carried roses, gerbera daisies, calla lilies, and carnations.

The centerpieces were made up of a mix of high and low arrangements.

The low centerpieces had celosia, roses, cremon, protea pin cushion, hydrangea, and calla lilies.

The high centerpieces were made up hydrangea, roses, celosia, cremon, carnations and greenery.  The purple hydrangea were my favorite, and I actually had a few left over that lasted for an entire month at my house!

The ceremony was supposed to take place outside on the golf course, but unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, so it was moved inside in front of this gorgeous fireplace.

The ceremony flowers were made up of gladiolus, snapdragons, stock, safari sunset, hydrangea, cremon, and gerbera daises.  For cocktail hour we did a simple gerbera daisy floating in a martini glass.

I also got to work with Ana's mom, Patty, as the wedding got closer, and she was such a pleasure to work with!  The Monday following Ana and John's wedding, I received an email from Patty that said, "I have to tell you how spectacular your flower arrangements were!  The colors of the blossoms and the composition of the arrangements were eye-catching and beautiful. Guests were remarking about their beauty all evening long, and I can't stop looking at the ones I brought home. One of my guests wrote me this morning to say she thought they were "in a class by themselves and worthy of a prize!"  Most of all I want to thank you because I think your flowers helped make our guests feel very special and happy."  I hope Patty knows that her kind email made me feel very special and happy too! :)  Congrats to Ana & John!
