Liz & Paul: Atlantica Restaurant Wedding

Liz was a dream to work with.  She told me what she wanted, and had complete faith in me to take it from there!  Liz wanted simple hydrangea bouquets and centerpieces, which is all you need when you have stunning views of Cohasset harbor surrounding the entire venue!

This is the view from the parking lot - never mind the reception room!

Even though it was October, Liz and Paul's wedding still had a very classic, coastal New England feel.  

The bride's bouquet was made up of hydrangea, ranunculus and Queen Anne's lace.

The MOH carried a mix of white and green hydrangeas.

The bridesmaids carried bouquets of baby green hydrangeas.

Liz and Paul did a mix of floral and non floral centerpieces.  The centerpieces I did were simple arrangements of white hydrangea.  Using just white hydrangeas is a great way save $$ on flowers since they are large flowers that take up a lot of space.  This bride saved even more by buying pre-owned vases at Goodwill and adding a green ribbon.

Congratulations to Liz & Paul and thank you to Liz for her kind review on Wedding Wire.

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.

Bride's bouquet of dahlias, stock, ranunculus, freesia, and queen anne's lace.

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!

Molly & Dave: Backyard Duxbury Wedding

Molly and Dave got married at St. John's, followed by a back yard reception in Duxbury, MA.  Molly and Dave stayed in China for a period of time, and wanted to incorporate that into their wedding, but also keep with the back yard, home-town wedding feel.  They collected a variety of Chinese vases, urns and small containers to use for the ceremony and reception flowers.

I had to post two pictures of Molly's bouquet because I was SO EXCITED we were able to get peonies  in July!  Her bouquet was made up of peonies, garden roses, hydrangea, berries and thistle.  The bouquet was wrapped in a an embroidered piece of the bride's dress, and an old piece of lace from the groom's family was pinned on the back.

The bridesmaids carried bouquets of blue, white, and green hydrangea with hypericum berries.

The ceremony flowers included blue, white, and green hydrangea, bells of Ireland, delphinium, and queen anne's lace.

The centerpieces were made up of hydrangea, roses, lisianthus, hypericum berries, queen anne's lace, and accent greens.

The reception was made up of a mix of round and rectangle tables.  The round tables had one larger arrangement, while the rectangle tables had multiple arrangements.

I loved these rustic tables mixed with the weathered chiavari chairs from

  New England Country Rentals!

Jessica Tyler from Lavishly Dunn did a fabulous job coordinating this beautiful wedding, regardless of the fact that it was 95 degrees out the day of this wedding!!  

I recently received a thank you note from Molly, and just want to say how much I appreciate her kind words and what a pleasure it was to work with her and her mom over the past few months.  It is such a joy to be able to do something I love to do, but to also know how happy I made someone by doing what I love, is amazing!   Thank you and best wishes Molly & Dave!

Lauren & Spencer: Duxbury, MA

Lauren and Spencer's wedding took place just down the street from my house in Duxbury.  When I met with Lauren and Spencer they told me they were having a medieval Renaissance themed wedding, and were looking for whimsical flowers with a fresh-picked style.

 Bride's bouquet of campanulas, larkspur, queen anne's lace, hypericum berries, stock, lisianthus, allium drumsticks and greens.

Because we were looking for flowers with a little quirkiness to them, I was able to use fun things like hybrid delphinium, allium drumsticks and dianthus.  The bride went green by reusing vases family members had received over the years.
