Ken and Yuki were married in Nantucket yesterday, and we had a little weather to deal with. You wouldn’t know that today, but yesterday the driving rain just wouldn’t let up. The ground was soaked (any chance for an outdoor ceremony went out the window with 3″ of rain) and Yuki had some incredible platform shoes we didn’t want to get ruined (wait until we get the photos from Zofia Photography. I’m not kidding when I say platforms!!). With a switch in the ceremony venue, some design changes to utilize everything we promised them on their big day, and finally a little sun for the late afternoon – all was well. At least Yuki’s bouquet mimicked the sunshine we were hoping for! Congratulations again you two!
Cheers
Dawn

Once in a while even I am taken aback by the beautiful blooms that pass through our studio on their way to a bride’s dream day. This past June, Stefanie and Serge were married in Nantucket and had their reception at the Galley. Stefanie loved peonies (like many brides do) so we placed the order, I knew we wouldn’t have an issue, and boy was I giddy when I got my hands on her peonies. They were gigantic. Not just super sized, but OMG super-sized!! Her bouquet in the photo above is amazing, and believe it or not, only three peonies made up that bouquet!! Yep, three. I couldn’t believe it either. When they fully opened, they were literally the size of my head. Mother Nature graces us with some unbelievable beauty, and we don’t take it for granted around here. You blink, and they are gone (our flower rep called me the following Monday to tell me ‘Don’t get your hopes up Dawn, those peonies are gone already. Back to the regular size!’). It was great while it lasted! Thanks to Donis Perkins for the photo.

We finally have gorgeous summer-like weather here on Nantucket. This past weekend we had a lovely couple get married up in Sconset, and a fun ‘midsummer merriment’ party in Monomoy. I love the bright colors – and do you notice how we mimicked the polka dots in some of our centerpieces? Pretty clever…..
