Hi Debra,

  I wanted to write you a special thank you note since we were very pressed for time with photos and hardly got to talk on Saturday afternoon.

The flowers this past Saturday were just gorgeous!!!

They were exactly what we had ...

in mind and I LOVED them all!

 My bouquet in particular was just perfect!!!

 I really appreciate all your hard work and wanted you to know that it went recognized by us and many guests.

We were so impressed!

 Thank you for everything!

Pine Orchard chapel, Branford, Ct. wedding

Diane was a natural garden girl......

Pine Orchard Chapel was a perfect backdrop for a natural garden theme.

 The textures melded together with amazing ease.

The essence of natural garden wedding

design was honored as we made sure that it remained clean and neat.....

From the simplicity of the garlands to the long lines on the door decor........

it was Diane's style and her vision....

Congrats toDiane and Ken!!!

Ct.Wedding Florist: Marriott: Nancy's beautiful flowers

Wedding flowers at Water's Edge Resort and Spa

Congratulations to Colleen and Matthew!!! Red it is!~

Pine Orchard Country Club, Branford, Ct.

Diane's vision was very natural garden, which is on the comeback.

I love textures.....layer upon layer creates magic.....The last flower I

included was red arachnid orchids.......Just a kick of red!!

I always arrive before my brides are dressed in their glorious gowns....Diane was so happy to
just stand with her bouquet so I could take a shot....

This garland was made perfectly to frame in the ceremony. Ken and Diane purchased this piece of furniture just for their ceremony. And I embellished with our rented mercury glass  and the gorgeous florals.

To greet the guests, we hung a floral swag ....yes it was larger than this woman, who just had to see the decor.......She was very gracious to let me take a shot!!

For all of you who have not seen the Chapel......so cute!!!

Everyone walked down to Pine Orchard Country Club to party. Natural garden for the tables too!!

Congratulations to Diane and Ken......What a gorgeous wedding!!!

Ct.Wedding Florist: Rebecca "Thank you"

Hi Debra!

Wow, your arrangements for our wedding were gorgeous! We had so many wonderful comments about the flowers inside the mansion but I think everyone was just blown away by the decor for the ceremony. Those lilies and grasses in the urns-- amazing and so fragrant. I cannot say enough good things about all the hard work you put into our evening. Thank you for exceeding all expectations in bringing our vision to life (and for being so organized and collected that you eased all my mum's last minute worries). I wish I could have those flowers around me every day, they were so stunning, and fit Harkness to a t. Can't wait to share some photos with you!

Thanks for everything!

All the best,

Rebecca Stewart

Harkness Park, Waterford, Ct. Wedding

How about this wedding bouquet......perfect for Rebecca..She had favorite flowers, and yes, we embellished so perfectly...stephanotis, blue delphinium, blue hydrangea, roses and her most favorite white alstroemaria....(she promised me some photos, stay tuned)

Harkness Park in Waterford, Ct. has a few amazing surprises. For a rustic ceremony setting, Rebecca

chose the amphitheater tucked into the trees out of site to the folks strolling the grounds. 

Our wrought iron urns fit so nicely.  

Jessica and Greg are getting married next summer right here!!! The agreed to have their photo taken, knowing I would put it up on my blog.......HI!!! Guys~~ Future Bride and Groom!!!

This shot is to just show the sky meets the ocean water......The benches were covered by Bakes and Baldwin and the pew markers drew us right down the aisle.....

"Congratulations" to Rebecca and Jon!!!

Water's Edge, Westbrook, Ct. wedding

Sara loved modern design and bright color, we brainstormed and because she was not a fan of roses,  we created this bold wedding bouquet that would impress.......And that it did......Wow!!!

Plan B, yes, we had rain. Seems as if that is often these days. The Royal ballroom looks so "royal."

We used less conventional elements to create her stlye. Torka branching did the trick...

Nice aisle and the chair covers with navy sashes from Chair Affair united the overall theme.

 Loved these centerpieces.....orchids lit (led lights) underwater and abstract navy wire maintaining

Sara's modern design. Lit floating candles not yet installed must have made quite a statement when the lighting dimmed for the evening. Sara's vision perfectly made. It was a pleasure. Thanks

to Waters's Edge always working hard to bring "JOY" to all their clients.

Water's Edge Inn and Spa, Westbrook, Ct. wedding

Dana and her proud dad....

Visualize it and it can be yours.......Dana's wedding bouquet was so soft and romantic.

Just "PERFECT" against her organza gown..

Thank you "Bridesmaids" for this great shot.

A modern soft and romantic square arch. Dana's mom came downstairs to see the arch and commented "OH WOW!!! I never imagined anything so gorgeous."

In keeping with the soft and romantic feel we dropped 5 french votives on each centerpiece. As the guests moved into the evening the room was magical.....

Thanks to Nancy (wedding coordinator at Water's Edge) for all her tender loving care. Great coordinators help make my job flow......

And lastly, To Dana and her mom for a great vision !!! Thank you, I wish you such success in your future with your wonderful hubby!~

Ct.Wedding Florist: Water's Edge and Jen's beautiful day

The look: And where did this unique color combination come from?   Jen's mom was a water colorist. Painting was her passion.....and oil painting mine.......So we had a great time playing with color and finding the perfect combinations......The kick to this bouquet was most definitely the aqua/purple dendrobium orchids.....LOVED IT!!!

 Joseph from Josephs Photography  sent along this shot of the wrought iron gazebo decorated in this unique color palette. Looking forward to all the great shots Joseph catches with his amazing eye.

The mantle in the "Grand Ballroom" enhanced the theme using simple flowers and adding white starfish throughout. 

 Can anyone else have this amazing vista when they are getting married. Water's Edge is breathtaking. I thank Jen, and her most creative mom in helping me formulate a perfect wedding for them and Joseph of  Josephs photography  (who is the best) and most of all for Maggie (who is the best too and coordinator) at Water's Edge for organizing a great wedding!!

Madison Beach Hotel, wedding

 How about those all white weddings.....They are back......and talk about that rich feeling of what a wedding is......The tradition of roses in all their beauty along with large crystals. There is not much more to be said.......

I was thrilled to see Lindsey as she turned......Just a classic shot.......imagine her along with her gorgeous bouquet.

St. Johns in Middletown was a church everyone should walk through. We were in amazement. It was old, grand, architecture.....and more beautiful than I have seen in a long time. It is hard to believe that anyone had the vision to create such beauty. The all white arrangements stood out. These were very large altar arrangements. The priest "loved them" asked to use them for the next day services.

Cylinders with white cymbidium orchids underwater brought a modern theme to the reception. Crystal bands at the top along with crystal wire inside the vases brought Lindsey's theme alive.

Madison Beach Hotel dressed up for a wedding. Yay!!

The head table arrangement also fit perfectly in the grand scheme of things. We wrapped satin balls and covered them with crystals .......Great way to showcase crystals in bouquets......

Madison Beach Hotel was a great host......always a "JOY" to work with Elizabeth and the staff.

A big crystal "HUG" to Lindsey and Kevin....."LOVE"

Wedding at Water's Edge Inn, Westbrook, Ct. wedding

These posi callas are glamorous.......So regal.....so bold. Amy looked stunning with her bouquet.

 Bridesmaids carried posi callas and lavender freesia....again so simple and yet so elegant.

 We had a wild day at Water's Edge......The weather is always interesting and Amy's wedding day brought 95 degree weather........nothing new in the summer time. And as we set up the bambo huppah on the lower lawn we looked up and the dark clouds exploded  "Hail" the size of quarters.....After

the storm we had to move the huppah (because of 1" of water on the lawn) on to the lower patio. Years ago we did all weddings on the lower patio.......iit looked great..........

Centerpieces were very modern with calla lillies and bursts of lavender orchids .

The mother of the bride wrote:

Thank you for making everything look beautiful. The flowers were georgous. We've had tons of compliments on how beautiful the room looked.

Thanks again, it was a pleasure working with you.
