Ct.Wedding Florist:"The Colors were Perfect"


As you can see I am thrilled to have these fabulous photos taken by Steven Charles
http://www.stevencharles.com/. These photos showcase the amazing color combinations we used to express Pam's unique and personal style. Saybrook Point Inn, http://www.saybrook.com/ became the perfect venue. Just look at this backdrop, need I say more.


We chose very different colors and flowers. We often see traditional colors on blue gowns. It was great fun to explore new ideas.


Pam and her mom were a joy to work with, they trusted my expertise, my vision and together we really created a spectacular visual that Pam will forever have.




Hi, Debra
Thanks again for the wonderful job you did on our wedding flowers. They were absolutely amazing, and wow do they look great in the photographs! All the colors were perfect. We loved working with you and would recommend you to anyone!

Thank you again :) -Pam

Pam, I wish you and your groom such great happiness as you move into your future together.
I am so thrilled to be a part of your wedding day.

"Farm to Table Harvest Celebration"

The Connecticut Public Broadcasting hosted "Farm to Table Harvest Celebration" at the Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station. www.riverhouse.com Great chefs, Jeff Steelman, Mohegan Sun, Paul Barron, Rizzuto's Wood Fire Kitchen and Bar, Mark Shadle, I'ts only Natural Restaurant, Stefan Drago, The Society Room of Hartford and Riverhouse Catering,and Leo Bushey, The Hartford, Club all came together to create a delectable dinner using Connecticut grown foods, produce, and livestock. Their creative nohow titillated my taste buds.....and all the guests who attended.
We were challenged with table centerpieces from the "Farm to the Table" and created designs that brought forth guest curiosity and just plain fun. The apple design was tall and showy.......
This was the hit of the night...We hand crafted candle shades using green beans and I just love zinnias in mass.

This very natural garden bouquet came from my garden. It was just beautiful, the photo does not do it justice. The hanging amaranth is the only thing used that I purchased.

We did celebrate, Jim, Libby, Ivy and Kellie from the Riverhouse and Amy Williamson, Special Events and Development Coordinator for CPTV and all hands it took to create a great evening, great flowers, great food, great space and most of all to embrace our local resources with outstanding craft.


Dear, Bakes and Baldwin
Thank you so much for the beautiful table centerpieces you created for the CPTV "Farm to Table Harvest Celebration." The absolutely completed the look and feel of the room. I would love to work with you in the future.

Ct.Wedding Florist: Joy's wedding flowers at "The Riverhouse"


It was Courtney and Daniels wedding day at The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station www.theriverhouse.com I was so thrilled when Courtney sent me these photos. Courtney was so inspired by our floral presentation at the Riverhouse tasting she attended in the spring. She loved the traditional soft and romantic feel and chose all roses, spray roses and glass crystals for her wedding bouquet.






Soft pastel pinks work beautifully with taupe gowns.......



And yes, the Flower girl was just so shy....she did let me take her shot.

Ct.Wedding Florists: Riverhouse Wedding Flower Ceremonies

The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station, http://www.theriverhouse.com/ has a beautiful area for wedding ceremonies.
The first photo has a traditional flare. What a wonderful opportunity to create grandness, using the columns and creating a frame of greens. Our client rented our handled urns and the traditional pedestals.



On a more romantic, yet modern look, we created spheres of flowers in all different sizes.
We also wrapped the columns with tulle to soften the lines........This was breathtaking.




This Ceremony decor has a soft and romantic feeling along with feminine glass vases.
The simplicity of modern pedestals work beautifully along with this traditional feeling.
The chair markers filled in the aisle space and we scattered rose petals.......I haven't got a shot of that.



I love this space .......The ideas are endless for each Riverhouse Ceremony. I am looking forward to another great year with new ideas and endless photos to share.

Ct.Wedding Florist: "Water's Edge" at it's best

What a magical night at Water's Edge. http://www.watersedge-resort.com/ .We helped create wonder......with hot colors, and elegant rich golds throughout. The key word for this wedding was " Elegant multi cultural with a Moroccan Like flair." The photos tell it all.

Loved these pomiander balls.



We hand crafted this huppah throughout the winter months, and enjoyed installing this grand gold organza huppah with orange accents. Inside we tufted the ceiling in gold, and the 4 corners were accented with Moroccan lanterns. Aisle cones,filled with red rose petals, decorated the aisle and matched the hand made aisle runner covered with Moroccan fabric with edges weaved with gold.
None of the photos captured this. Too bad. And of course, rose petals.....


We greeted guests with a grand entry arrangement. The gold branching, ceiling height and painted gold held the multi colored crystal strands perfectly.





We hung draperies from ceiling to floor. We back dropped the head table with hundreds of strands of capiz shells.
These shells captured the light, crystallizing the ballroom.

Circles of flowers, a Moroccan theme and 42 hot pink votives lit.









I could write endlessly about all the wonderful things that made this wedding so spectacular....but I am writing a blog and I hope you, my reader, will get the essence of this through the photos. Thank God, we have the photos to remember.
