A Heart Full of Thanks This Thanksgiving!

November 24, 2015

Soiree just wrapped up it’s 2015 season, and what a season it’s been.  I feel like just yesterday we were doing winter weddings in March and April followed by Mother’s Day weddings in May and then we were off to the races come June. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is this Thursday.  I have so many… Keep Reading

Springtime Inspiration Shoot – WellWed Magazine

August 24, 2012

Part of what we love about the design process is getting the opportunity to collaborate with our fellow vendors to inspire future clients. Last October we staged a spring-like romantic look for WellWed magazine (on stands now).  Here are more images from our fun-filled afternoon to put a little “spring” in your step. The lovely… Keep Reading

Summer Fun!

August 10, 2012

In between weddings we spent a lot of time with our clients doing party work and special celebrations.  We’ve had a spectacular summer creating some unique designs.  We love getting to use different colors and textures, incorporating antique vases and personal touches.  Here’s what we’ve been up to…  There is still plenty of the summer… Keep Reading

Duck Hunting Birthday Party

August 3, 2012

We are excited to share all the fun details of this duck hunting inspired birthday party we recently did.  But first, a little back story of how our design process happens.  Every client we work with has a different timeline.  For most weddings, we start a year in advance gathering details, inspirations, design ideas.  For… Keep Reading

A Wauwinet Wedding – Melissa & Michael

July 20, 2012

Melissa and Michael were married on a beautiful day this past June at the secluded Wauwinet Inn. With the ocean as our backdrop for the ceremony and a sail cloth tent for the reception, Melissa, Michael and their guests enjoyed a perfect Nantucket day. As you can see Cary Hazlegrove and assistant photographer, Jordi Cabré… Keep Reading

A Fall Inspired Wedding at The Summer House

November 22, 2011

Since it is the week of Thanksgiving we thought this wedding was perfect to showcase with all of it’s autumnal colors. Our bride Mary is a planner in Boston so she was armed with images, photos, and great ideas for her big day. She had several friends come with her to our first meeting to… Keep Reading

These Are A Few of My Favorite Things – Ceremonies

December 14, 2010

We are back with more of our favorite things. I say this often, and I know I sound like a broken record, but one of the things I am most thankful for is our amazing couples. Once again we had the pleasure this year of working with and getting to know some amazing people. These… Keep Reading

Walk for a Cure

September 10, 2010

Today is a day I wish with all my heart I could be in two places at once. We are gearing up for a great wedding this Sunday on Nantucket with a sweetheart of a couple. Tomorrow, in Colorado, my family is walking to raise money for Curesearch, an organization that helps raise money for… Keep Reading

A Sconset Wedding

August 6, 2010

We had a great time with our July clients. They all happened to like things a bit asymetrical, colorful, and with an infusion of their personal style. One of my favorites was Elizabeth and David. They had their ceremony at the Sconset Chapel with a reception at The Chanticleer. Elizabeth was a girl who knew… Keep Reading

Style Me Pretty – Inspiration to Reality Challenge

December 15, 2009

I’m a proud peacock right now. Finally – we can share some images from the fun ‘Inspiration to Reality Design Challenge’ that Abby over at Style Me Pretty started. We did a shoot last month at a gorgeous, rustic barn in Maine. It was a chilly day (you’ll see when the video gets posted) and… Keep Reading

Spreading Holiday Cheer

December 9, 2009

I am one proud Auntie today. Turns out my nephew Shea who has been courageously battling Neuroblastoma has been one of Santa’s little helpers in the holiday card department. During one of Shea’s chemo treatments, volunteers came by to ask if he would design a holiday card. His festive creation has been chosen as the… Keep Reading

A Holiday Weekend Wedding on Nantucket

October 12, 2009

Melissa and Matt were married this past weekend on Nantucket. I met Melissa and her mother a little over a year ago and a lot changed from our first meeting, in large part due to the amazing work by Ceci New York coming up with their stationary suite. This motif was the inspiration for everything… Keep Reading

New Orleans Charm on Nantucket

September 30, 2009

We had an AMAZING weekend last weekend. The weather cooperated, and we had the pleasure of working with some very special guests to the island. Hal and Dale had their nuptials here on Nantucket and we infused their New Orleans roots in every little detail. From the moment I spoke to Hal for the first… Keep Reading

Jen and Carter – Rain, Rain, and More Rain

September 16, 2009

photo by Brea McDonald We had another crazy weekend of weather here on Nantucket. Lots of weddings, and LOTS of rain! Jen and Carter were married this past weekend. One look at their photos, and you’d think they had a fabulously sunny day for their ‘I Do’s.’ We had the pleasure of doing Jen’s sister’s… Keep Reading

A Rainy Wedding Day

August 31, 2009

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… Keep Reading

Once in a While….

August 3, 2009

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,… Keep Reading

Midsummer Merriment

July 13, 2009

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…..

Soiree Floral bouquet featured in The Knot Fall 2009

June 30, 2009

I was at the grocery store last night and happened to grab the 2009 fall/winter issue of The Knot magazine. I was over the moon to see one of our bouquets featured in one of their color stories – black & white. I forgot that we had designed a bouquet back in December of 2008… Keep Reading

Behind the Scenes

June 23, 2009

Last week, I asked a friend (and talented photographer) Brea McDonald to come by and take some ‘behind the scenes’ shots of us hard at work before a wedding we did at the Galley for Meghan and Darryl. Here are some fun insights into a ‘Day in the Life’ at Soiree Floral: This is me… Keep Reading

Fun details that make your day unique

June 22, 2009

We had a beautiful day here last Saturday for Stefanie and Serge’s wedding at The Galley in Nantucket. One of the elements the couple really wanted to focus on was a bar on the beach for their guests to enjoy. We came up with this idea and placed an open air ‘sheltered’ structure with a… Keep Reading

A Modern Nantucket Wedding

June 10, 2009

This past Saturday we had the pleasure of completing a year long design process with our wonderful couple Jen and Erik. Jen planned her entire wedding (while finishing up school and graduating from Harvard the Thursday before her wedding!) down to the finite details of driftwood table sign holders. This was a very unique Nantucket… Keep Reading

A summer white bouquet

June 1, 2009

Nothing says wedding like an all white bouquet. Most brides swoon over big, fluffy blooms and you can’t go wrong during the summer with garden roses. Here, we created an oversized white bouquet brimming with shades of white, and lots of texture. Both the texture and shades of white are important for photos (especially your… Keep Reading

An elegant black bouquet

May 28, 2009

This is a dramatic bouquet (again, done at a photo shoot with Grace Ormonde, and photographed by the brilliant duo at Brian Phillips Photography) that speaks for itself. This is not for the faint of heart. Black sunflowers, chocolate cosmos, flowering eucalyptus and pods, kangaroo paw, fiddlehead ferns and to top it off – black… Keep Reading

A Series of Bouquets

May 27, 2009

Designing bouquets is one of the favorite parts of my job. To me (and I’m obviously biased) the bouquet is one of the most important accessories a bride has on her wedding day. We did a photo shoot with Grace Ormonde – and the amazingly talented duo of Maria and Brian at Brian Phillips Photography… Keep Reading

The Pink Blossom List

May 18, 2009

It’s always a pleasure when I sit down to respond to emails and I find a friend in the industry’s name pop up. Nancy Liu Chin (of Nancy Liu Chin Designs) emailed me for a blog post on The Pink Blossom List. The question was what to charge for a bouquet found on Martha Stewart…. Keep Reading

Taking Time out for an Important Cause

May 15, 2009

I am taking time off today from Soiree for a very important reason – my handsome nephew Shea. He was diagnosed with neuroblastoma this past March, and today we are in Colordao supporting the Play for Shea golf tournament. My heart is overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone involved. It’s a great day here and… Keep Reading

Photo shoot on Nantucket with Wellwed Magazine

May 1, 2009

We had a lot of fun yesterday hanging out with the staff at Wellwed magazine. They came over to the island for a day long photo shoot (with a very specific color scheme in mind). Krista has an incredible eye for detail (down to adding cloves at the last minute to salt & pepper cellars)… Keep Reading
