Erica & Brenton: Duxbury, MA

The second wedding I did this past weekend was for Erica and Brenton, who got married in the backyard of the groom's parent's house in Duxbury.  Erica had such a great vision for their backyard wedding! 

I LOVED these table names!

Pink hydrangea was the only flower used aside from the calla lilies in the bride's bouquet (of course I forgot to take a picture!) and in the boutonnieres.  The pink was a fun pop of color against the white tent and linens.  The bridesmaids also carried a single stem of pink hydrangea to compliment their fun pink-patterned dresses! 

The white paper lanterns were gorgeous hanging from the inside of the tent.  All the decorations were perfectly understated, which is the way to go when you have an amazing view like this! 

Florist by day, paparazzi by night!  I took a few pictures from the boat on our way to dinner that night. 

Congratulations Erica and Brenton!  You were such a joy to work with and I wish you all the best!

Ashley & Shawn: Red Lion Inn, Cohasset

This past weekend I had the privilege of doing the flowers for two weddings.  The first one was Ashley and Shawn, who got married at the Red Lion Inn in Cohasset.  Cohasset is such a pretty town on the South Shore, and the Red Lion Inn is a charming rustic venue right in the center of town.  

The sunflowers mixed with lots of wildflowers and daisies in galvanized pails was a perfect match for the feel of the venue. 

The bride also carried sunflowers mixed with hydrangea and aster in her bouquet.

 The bridesmaids carried a simple bouquet of dark purple hydrangeas to match their fabulous purple shoes!

Congratulations Ashley and Shawn - Thank you again for allowing me to be a part of your day!

Erin's Bridal Shower

The second shower this month was for my sister, Erin, who is getting married October 8th in Boston. The shower took place at Meadow Creek in Dracut, MA, in the Gallery room, a great spot for a shower or rehearsal dinner.  Nancy Woods and the rest of the Meadow Creek staff were friendly, professional, and extremely accommodating.

Erin reads more books than anyone I have ever met, and is easily one of the smartest people I know. I wanted her shower to be smart and sophisticated, but also fun and summery. 

My mom helped in collecting the books we used in the centerpieces.  I failed to specify what type of books I needed, so it was pretty funny to find books titled "Vengeance in Death" in the pile!  Luckily we had a few extras and were able to weed out the murder mysteries!

 I heart Martha Stewart punchers!  This heart shaped confetti was punched from "Confessions of a Shopaholic", a subtle tribute to my sister's style and shopping habits :)

I ordered these mugs from Anthropologie over a year ago.  I first saw them on http://www.stylemepretty.com/, and had to have them!  These mugs are now available to rent for bridal showers and weddings from APFD!

 I couldn't be happier for Erin and Dean, and cannot wait for October 8th!






Summer Bridal Shower

In the past few weeks I've had the opportunity to do the flowers for two completely different, but equally fabulous summer bridal showers. The first shower was for a fellow Bentley Alumni, Christina, who is getting married in October in Newport, RI.

 Her bridesmaids wanted something in hot bold summer colors, like fuchsia, orange and lime green.
