Fall is a great time of year for brides to be married as the colors and flowers in the flower market are so beautiful and saturated. Lots of jewel tones and of course those oh-so-striking oranges/yellows/reds/greens.

We set up a serene ceremony setting at the Hadwen House last Sunday. It was such a perfect day, and apparently quite a few passers by thought so also. When our team went to break down the ceremony they were stopped and asked to wait. Some members of the garden club had seen our work and ran home for their cameras. They thought it was a Gardener’s dream and wished we could have kept it up for them to sit and enjoy. I think that is a pretty lovely compliment to receive.

We used bold, jewel tone colors in the centerpieces at the Whaling Museum. The linens and rentals were provided by Placesetters.

For any couples thinking of getting married there, the exposed brick walls and high ceilings lend themselves to strong color statements and it is the one place on this island that you don’t have to worry if you want some height to your arrangements. No wind to blow them over!!
Thanks Sarina and David for letting us be a part of your special day. It was a pleasure working with you!

Family traditions play a big part of any bride’s special day. That is something we love to try and include as it makes each day unique and special for the couple we are working with.

I received a call two weeks ago from the MOB of our bride Stephanie. Turns out mother and daughter have had a 15yr running joke involving a doily. The mom was the last one to ‘receive’ it so she asked us to work it in to the bride’s bouquet. It would be an understatement to say we had fun with the multiple ways to incorporate this little crocheted item in to what we think is the single most important accessory a bride carries on her big day. We decided to turn it in to a ‘flower’ and wired it in to the bride’s bouquet. When we delivered the bouquets to the bridal suite the bride was none the wiser.

I received a call from the mother-of-the-bride today and she was beaming that she pulled off the family joke on her daughter’s special day. They had the flower girl take the bouquet up to the bride to ask her what kind of flower ‘that’ was……it was the doily of course!

Those are the memories that last our couples a lifetime, and when I get a call telling us thank you for being a part of it….all I can say is THANK YOU for letting us be a part of it.
Cheers Stephanie and Dee.

I love it when a plan comes together. We did a tented wedding this past Saturday (once again battling the elements – is it going to rain, is the wind going to die down…) for Colleen & Mike. We’ve been working with them since last December. When we got back to the studio I grabbed their inspiration board and I was thrilled to see how our photos, ideas, details translated over to the big day.

We create inspiration boards after meeting with clients to give us all a sense of where we are heading in developing color scheme, mood, and feeling for the day. Our brides are always excited when they come in and see their ideas/vision translated over to our story boards (and they are always impressed and intrigued by what all our other brides are cooking up). I have posted a few photos and I can’t wait to see the professional shots taken by Brea McDonald from Claudia Kronenberg Photography.
