Wedding at The Foundry, L.I.C. by Rebecca Shepherd floral design

This wedding took place on September 9th, one of the most gorgeous days of the year. This was also one of my favorite weddings this year to design. We kept is sophisticated and modern with a touch of glam-goth! We used David Austin patience garden roses, bells of Ireland, black star callas, red ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, chocolate cosmos, and the exquisite Tacca orchids for the over the top dramamarama additive. These are by far the most unusual orchids I have even encountered. We used them in special places like the bridal bouquet, the cake table, and scattered on the long table.  Another one of my favorite touches were the mixed silver and gold chairs and silverware. So fun and unique! See more from this wedding on my floral Facebook page. Enjoy! xo

The Foundry, Long Island City wedding flowers.

This was a one of my favorite weddings of the year. The bride wanted a classic, yet textural and elegant look to her designs. The Foundry of course, it a stunning backdrop for these sorts of designs. We used lots of succulents, gardenia's, orchids, callas, spanish moss, snowberries, roses, and hydrangea. Enjoy (: I also had the pleasure of working with the wonderful Ara, of Rock Paper Scissors Events! And, the mega talented photographer, Liesl of Photo Pink!

Summer wedding at the Foundry, L.I.C.

This August 26th wedding was super fun to design and was held at one of my favorite places to work; The Foundry, L.I.C. Rich in colors and tons of texture, we used a blend of oranges, purples, greens and pinks. I loved the greenhouse room where we used emerald green wine bottles with taper candle sticks along side bud vases stuffed with thistle, dahlias and dianthus. The ceremony arrangements were some of my fav's with the dramatic paper ferns, hydrangeas, thistle, greens, and branches.

I finally got professional pictures from this wedding back in July and thought I would share. The ones I used were terrible, since I am no photographer (:

Linsey and Jeff found me online and promptly set up an appointment to talk about their flowers. These two were a pleasure to deal with not only due to their quality taste in style, but, they were beyond organized! The bride told me that her desired floral style was whimsical yet modern and clean and slightly edgy. They wanted to use all black, white and green florals to complement the exquisite Foundry venue located in Long Island city. We choose chocolate cosmos which actually smell like chocolate! Gerbera daisies with a black center, fiddle head ferns, white hydrangea, geranium, and stephanotis in the bridal bouquet. Her ceremony pieces were clear cylinders using branches, green berries, and gorgeous white delphinium. The HUGE urn was so much fun to make. I literally had to straddle between the ledge and the center urn. It is made up of Manzanita branches, vibrunum foliage, JUMBO fiddle heads (3 in the front of large arrangement) and white delphinium. Lindsey's brides maids wore a custom made head band with white Dahlia, chocolate cosmos and geranium attached to the side for a little 20's flare.
