Bohemian wedding flowers, NYC






This wedding took place on May 28th in a tribeca loft. The bride wanted a casual, earthy, yet edgy mix of flowers to trickle down the farm tables both inside and out. We used a combination of mercury tea light bottles and votives to sprinkle in between the moss and floral elements. The chuppah was made of natural birch wood with mix match ribbons tied to the front posts that were blowing beautifully in the wind. This image is pre fabric, due to the intense wind on the 13th floor over looking the water! The top bar has spanish moss and roses hanging from above.

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!

Brooklyn museum wedding.







I am very excited to share with you this super fun wedding that took place on May 21st at the gorgeous Brooklyn museum. My bride wanted bright colored flowers with tons of texture and kooky shapes. She really wanted designs that were outside the box of what you would expect from wedding flowers and of course I jumped to the challenge. In the beginning she wanted to incorporate little herbs or plants for favors because she loves to garden, but, sadly the museum didn't allow soil ): This gave me the idea to incorporate little radishes into her design because I felt like that represented her. She loved it! You'll notice in the close up shot of the center piece where I sneaked one in. In addition to the main center, we added little silver julip cups with thistle, red spray roses and billy buttons. Her bouquet was made with bold colors and included red charm peony, yellow ranunculous, vibrunum, poppy pods, white ranunculous, white peony, and yellow spray roses. The bout's were SO much fun!! This is a horrible picture, but, I promise I'll post the professional one when they come. You may have read on a ton of blogs about this brides invitation. They were the most brilliant one's I have EVER seen. You can see it here. When I saw these invitations I was so inspired to somehow incorporate the musical influence. After some milling around in my head, it dawned on my that we could subtly add in a old record/45 insert at the base of the bout's! They were thrilled at the idea and I certainly have never seen this done (: There are a bunch more elements that went with this wedding, but, you'll have to wait for professional ones in the coming months (;

Wedding at Bubby's in Dumbo, Brooklyn








I try not to post two weddings on the same day, but May is crazy busy! This May 14th wedding was super fun to design. The bride wanted a modern spin on springy colors. The bridal bouquet was one of my fav's. We used these gorgeous roses with bright pink edges, peonies, green mums, parrot tulips, poppy pods, orchids, and ferns. The bridesmaids held bouquets made of all greens and whites including peonies, mums, poppies, and ferns. The ceremony was at the Brooklyn Historical society where we used a larger scale arrangement set behind them along this stunning oak table. This grandiose space was perfect for the ceremony!

This May 7th wedding was all about spring time! We used all soft colors of spring including lavender, yellows, blues and pinks. We caught the very last week of cherry blooms hence their full blooms. Enjoy!

A Montauk Club wedding in Park Slope Brooklyn.








This spring-y wedding was so much fun to design! The bride wanted an unstructured, elegant look using soft tones. I chose muted greens like eucalpytus, succulents, and dusty miller to accent the flowers. The main blooms were peonies, pink veronica, ranunculous, poppy seed heads, and queen ann lace. We alternated the centerpieces by using the full scale arrangement with mercury candle sticks and paired the succulent based arrangements with a collection of mini bell jars. These featured tiny succulents with grey spanish moss for a simple, elegant spin on a terrarium! The escort table had a huge cherry blossom arrangement with little bird bud vases at the base.
