We had a wild weekend with a fabulous couple! Lauren and her fiance were married on Sept 6th on Nantucket at the newly renovated Galley restaurant. The ceremony was to take place out on the beach, and hurricane Hannah was threatening to strike. With grey skies, on and off rain showers, and winds kicking up I have to say I wasn’t sure we’d be having the ceremony outside. But in true style for most of our brides this year the weather cleared up about 45 minutes before the guests arrived. The flurry of activity to get chairs, arches/chuppahs, aisle decor, etc set up on the beach always amazes me. I always worry we will run out of time, and like magic – it all falls in to place.

I have to say this was one of my favorite weddings this season. Lauren’s dress was amazing, and her color scheme refreshing. Her tablescape has to be one of the most fun, unique tables we’ve done in a while – AND it was all picked out in less than 15 minutes during one of our consultations at Placesetters. It just doesn’t get better than that. I can’t wait to see the professional photos – there were orchids and callas everywhere!
Congratulations again Lauren – it was a pleasure working with you.

We have had a FABULOUS weekend working with one of the sweetest, kindest couples! Liz and Ned were married yesterday in Greenwich. Friday’s rehearsal dinner was held at the Tomes Higgins House – aside from a downpour of rain an hour before guest arrival it was a beautiful day.

The ceremony on Saturday was at First Presbyterian Church in Greenwich and a huge wreath greeted guests as they entered the sanctuary. The reception was at Belle Haven Country Club and the day could not have been more perfect. Not a stitch of humidity, and at 80 degrees it made for a comfortable day for everyone. Liz picked out a color palette of sage, blush pink, pink and white. Against the sea wall and ocean surroundings to the club it was the perfect summer day color combination. Custom linens, a black and white checkered dance floor, and hanging lamp shades helped complete the decor. Take a sneak peak of the fabulous flowers. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your special day Liz and Ned – it was a pleasure!!!
Enjoy the honeymoon,
Dawn

We had the pleasure of helping a family surprise their 12 year old girl this past weekend with a fun centerpiece. They bought the birthday girl a golden retriever puppy and it was too small to bring to Nantucket. So we created a golden retriever puppy out of butterscotch poms – complete with a wagging tail and cute little pink tongue. Now if I could only convince my hubby that a little mini pincher is just what I need to keep me company at the studio! Isn’t ‘Butterscotch’ precious??? I didn’t want to give her up!
