F.E.A.S.T. at Round Hill wedding flowers.






This was my other May 21st wedding that took place at the gorgeous F.E.A.S.T. at Round Hillabout 75 miles upstate. These clients were near and dear to me for years. In fact, I nearly watched these kids grow up! The bride was looking for a soft, playful, feminine and natural looking flowers. We used lots of Peonies, veronica, roses, astrantia, scabiosa pods, delphinium, lambs ear, astilbe and thistle. The landscape at the venue was the perfect back drop to suit both the flowers and the brides over all style. The isle may have been my fav from this wedding. We used vintage blue mason jars hung from a shepherd hooks to line the isle and put down soft yellow and pink petals. They had a hand help chuppah that was made by their family, which I will post when I get the professional pictures.
I normally do not like to travel very far for weddings, however, this venue was a a pure joy to work at and wouldn't hesitate to make the trek again!

Vintage Queen






This collection of flowers was selected as if you were looking for the freshest ingredients to cook that night for dinner. My client gave me a very clear vision of her antiquey, loose, organic, charming style. The venue is this gorgeous, country setting just outside of NYC, which lends to the relaxed feel. My favorite part of this collection is the set of gorgeous vintage milk bottles set in the wooden frame. I found these special props at the recent Brimfield antique show where I bought THREE set's of these. It would be amazing to do a long table to put all three set's with smaller alternating sizes in between. The milk bottles have tall green Vibrunum in the back, Poppy seeds in the middle and antique blue Hydrangea up front.
The flowers used in the smaller center piece contain white Peony, Poppy seeds, Artichokes, Queen Ann Lace, Hydrangea, Pink Astilbe, and greens.
