The Cream Event in NYC with Patina Vintage Rentals

This event came and went like a whirl wind! Patina Vintage Rentals asked me about a week before to collaborate, and how could I ever say no!? I took a trip upstate to see there barn and "talk shop" a bit. When I saw the fire place mantle, I instantly knew what I wanted to do with it. I sketched down on paper what I saw in my mind and then it was all about the logistics of how to build and transport. I also added a fun picture of some of us gals including my beloved Firefly Events ladies who came up with a stylishly original tape scape and backdrop.

Ruffled blog featured the event as well!

Summer wedding in Brooklyn.

This wedding was all about bright, bold, happy colors. The bride and groom wanted "the unexpected" at their wedding! We used chocolate cosmo's, bright red dahlias, white and tan scabiosa, tansy, gomphrena, pannisetum, panicum, raspberries, and more! Perfect for a summer wedding....

Dramatic flowers for a NYC elopement.

I am so honored to have been part of this very small wedding that took place on July 7th in NYC. An age old friend looked me up to see I would be able to whip together a few flowers for their fashion forward (with a dark twist) wedding. More photos to come of the doggy flowers! See a couple more in my floral Facebook page.  Enjoy.

Montauk Club wedding flowers. Pink and chocolate!

This wedding took place on June 11th at the gorgeous Montauk Club in park slope Brooklyn. This venue as some of you know, it one of my fav's. Stained glass, gorgeous wood, and beautiful back drop for outdoor photos.
The bride wanted everything in shades of pink, chocolate, whites and greens. We used hydrangea, peony, freesia, burgundy scabiosa, lisianthus, spray rose geranium and more.

Brooklyn wedding at Galapagos Art Space.

I hardly know where to start with these two.... Jackie and Michael were one of the most laid back, sweet, and stylish couple! They approached Brooklyn Betrothed as a whole; and pretty much booked us all from the flowers, the efficient, make up, photographer, and paper products. Oh! and did I mention she commissioned me for jewelry for um.... 10 people in her bridal party/family members!!!! I'll get more pictures of the jewels soon. I missed the opening of the little boxes the night before when she gave them to all her bridesmaids, but, Kristina was shooting the whole thing and said is was a total frenzy of super excited girls (: LOVE IT.

Jackie and Michael told me three things leading up to their designs:
*We want warm colors.
*We love lots of texture with the possibility of weird elements (succulents/poppy seeds/artichokes was my interpretation)
*We love orchids and callas.

I can't express how important it is when a couple gives you creative control like this. This approach encourages my best work. I loved this wedding almost as much as the couple.

At the end of the day, Jackie and Michael invited us Brooklyn Betrothed gals to ATTEND their cocktail hour and ceremony. This was one of the kindest gestures one can show.... I spent the afternoon setting up the venue making sure everything as perfect as can be. Then, did a quick change in the bathroom to shed my uniform (jeans, docs, bandana and pencil behind my ear) and slipped on a simple black dress. I went upstairs to the balcony to hide in the dark and watch the ceremony with tears in my eyes as I listened to some of the sweetest and loving words not only to each other, but to the families and past relatives. It's magical to be able to see everything all together... bride and groom, families and the room twinkling with candlelight.....
