Jamie & Andrew: The Villa at Ridder Country Club, East Bridgewater, MA

Jaime and Andrew's wedding was the ultimate definition of a "winter" wedding.  They got married on February 8, 2013, the same day the blizzard of 2013 decided to hit!  I haven't heard how the wedding went with the driving/travel ban starting at 4PM, and power outages starting a few hours later around the South Shore, but as of 3:30PM when I finished my final delivery stop, the wedding was still on and set to start at 5PM!  The wedding coordinator, Katelyn, and the staff at The Villa were amazing.  They had the room set and ready to go like it was any other day, and were extremely professional and calm with handling the situation.

 The bride's black magic rose bouquet.

 The bridesmaids bouquet was made up of burgundy and plum carnations, gerbera daisies, and roses.

 The centerpieces were made up of roses, lisianthus, carnations, cremon, calla lilies, and gerbera daisies.

 The guest book and card table both had a taller arrangement of stock, orchids, lisianthus, cremon, gerbera daisies, and roses.  We decorated the fireplace mantels at each end of the room with varied height vases filled with submerged purple dendrobium orchids and floating candles on top (picture not shown).

I don't have any pictures of the church flowers which was my last stop of the day, because to be honest, the roads were starting to get pretty bad, and I just wanted to get my butt home and off the roads!

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!
