Peach Summer Wedding

MILLER_WEDDING_0097-Edit

One of my all time favorite weddings was in late August of 2011 on the day Hurricane Irene hit and I have never posted the wedding in it’s entirety. It was a gorgeous affair at the Florence Griswold Museum. Held overlooking the river in a Sperry Tent with hung chandeliers from Ryans Design.  Candice of Jubilee Events coordinated and styled the event. Amazing photographs by a collaboration of the talented Carl Ten Eyck and Lisa Berry.

With the impending Hurricane the wedding was moved up several hours to avoid any dangerous weather. The ceremony was moved indoors into the art gallery at the museum. A runner of lush garden blooms–Cafe Au Lait Dahlias, Spray Roses, Garden Roses and Dusty Miller lined the aisle.

Under the tent Juliet Garden Roses took center stage in a mix of smooth ceramic, slate and cement containers. Succulents, Passion Vines, and fresh Peaches helped to add lots of textures to the tablescapes.

West Hartford Backyard Wedding

I_0226Last June we designed a backyard wedding featuring late Spring blooms of Peonies, Anemones and Scabiosa in shades of Mauves and Pinks with deep eggplant accents. The bride was inspired by fabric she found at Pottery Barn and made table runners for each guests table from the material. This colors scheme flowed through the entire event. Photos by Eric Maziarz of Carla Ten Eyck.

The Perfect Peony

I_0364Bruce Plotkin Photography

The amazingly gorgeous Peony is now coming into season. I know it seems that this is everyone’s favorite flower, but I have to admit I never tire of the Peony and it always takes my breath away. Now that Peony season is starting up I thought a post all about these stunning blooms would get us in the Spirit of Spring!

Look Back at a Romantic Water’s Edge Wedding

BFDS_281_ragg_maso

Almost 5 years ago we designed a gorgeous wedding at Water’s Edge Resort in Westbrook. It was a perfect Spring day in mid May and it was one of the highlights of my 2008 season! Denise Cregier captured this wedding gorgeously! I loved every bloom used for this wedding! It still makes me swoon when I look back through these pictures…

The Chuppah was covered in Lemon Leaf with dogwood branches tucked in. A spray of Garden Roses, Veronia, Dahlias, Peonies and other blooms were lushly arranged to create a beautiful focal point over the bride and groom.
