Jessica & Matt: Hyatt Regency, Boston

Jessica and I went to Bentley together, but I have to thank my friend Ying for recommending me to her!  Jessica had such a great color scheme picked out when we met - I was so excited for these flowers!  Although she knew the colors she wanted, she was open to different options for flowers, and I think we ended up with something beautiful and unique! 

A few days before the wedding I got a package in the mail from Jessica's soon to be mother-in-law.  It contained some colorful ribbon for the bridesmaid bouquets and a piece of lace from her wedding dress that she had given to Jessica to use as her "something old".  When I got to the hotel to drop the flowers off, her mother-in-law teared up when she saw Jessica's bouquet.  It's little moments like that that really make me love what I do :)




Jessica's bouquet was made up of hydrangeas, dahlias, and Picasso calla lilies.  Her bridesmaids carried bouquets of lisianthus, dahlias, calla lilies, carnations, orchids, and dianthus. 


The centerpieces were a mix of various sized vases filled with orchids, lisianthus and dahlias.  The remaining centerpieces contained kale, dianthus, carnations, orchids, dahlias, and calla lilies.


Jessica was so laid back when we met to talk about her flowers, and the day of the wedding she was still so genuinely happy and carefree!  Congrats and best wishes to Jessica and Matt!!

Matt & Mandy: Turner Hill

Matt and Mandy are such a fun couple - I was so excited and honored to be a part of their day.  This is one of the few weddings that I did the flowers for, and was also a guest at the wedding!  Their wedding had so many fun unique details, from all the monogrammed accents, to their dog Lexi being a part of their ceremony, to the amazingly delicious cupcake tower from Cupcake Charlie's!  If you have not been to Cupcake Charlie's you have not lived!! 

Mandy put so much thought into the flowers she wanted for her wedding.  Her mother and mother-in-law each had unique flowers in their bouquets that were in their bouquets when they got married.  Mandy also incorporated these flowers (gardenias and lilies) into her own bouquet of hydrangea, roses, gardenias, lilies, and delphinium.  Her bridesmaids carried contrasting blue hydrangea with white accent flowers.

The ceremony isle was lined with shepard hooks from which we hung small galvinized pails full of white hydrangea.  The alter area was also marked with more white hydrangea.  The reception was made up of a combination of high and low centerpieces containing hydrangea, roses, garden roses and dahlias. 


Because I had to run off to get ready to attend the wedding, I completely forgot to take pictures of all these gorgeous flowers!!  I did snap a few during the reception, but please check out some MUCH better pictures taken by Matt and Mandy's photographer, Melissa Coe here, or copy and paste the link below into your web browser:

Thank you Matt and Mandy for asking me to be a part of your wedding. 
We are so happy for you - Congratulations!
