 Fall flowers are so exiting and make for a great pop of color in bouquets, at the  entry 

to Water's Edge's Royal ballroom.......The centerpieces made a grand statement.....

Water's Edge Wedding Flowers

Using color in Wedding bouquets is perfect for a great shot with the bridesmaids.

Often the ceremony flowers are done in white to soften and coordinate perfectly as we did at 

Water's Edge on the lawn.......

 Fun shot of Alyssa and Joanna (wedding coordinators at Water's Edge....This shot showcases

  A beautiful day for a beautiful wedding at Water's Edge on the lawn.......Enjoy!!

Water's Edge, Westbrook, Ct.

I took this shot as the Brides family and the staff of Water's Edge is carrying an arbor that the

groom and his father built....they were great builders......making the arbor huge and weighing much

too much......Well it took 11 men to move it and as you can see the 4 posts were not in perfect 

position.......It was tough.........They did achieve their destination and the bride never know...

LOVE is always first.....and there was so much love in this arbor.....We need to thank the staff

at Water's Edge for a job well done......over and above!!!  

Water's Edge, Westbrook, Ct. Garden Gazebo

For all the brides having their ceremony at Water's Edge and who have tight budgets, being married at this large garden gazebo is great.

We have decorated it in every way creative ideas can take us. This is very simple with 2 large arrangements on pedestals. Many choose this because the staff will move these into the reception ballroom to enjoy in both the ceremony and reception.

 Enjoy!!!

Wedding at Water's Edge, Westbrook, Ct. Grand ballroom

I enjoyed working with Alisha and Ian to help create their dream wedding......The Grand Ballroom had it all.

"Grand" is a perfect word.   Alisha's mom helped with the vision and wrote:

Hi Debra,

OMG Absolutely stunning flowers Alisha and I were so HAPPY. We received so many compliments unbelievable . The Grand Ballroom came alive. The mantle was gorgeous too and Alisha and her bridesmaids loved their bouquets . Just outstanding work you are in a class of your own above the rest. Thank you again for making this wedding as close to perfect as perfect can get. The church looked great as well. We were blessed with beautiful weather and had a Super moon in the evening to top it off.

I would refer anyone to you in a heart beat.

Thank you ,

Ct.Wedding Florist: to a great product

A good pairing    posted 5/10/2012

I didn't really know where to start when I was looking at florists but when I spoke with Debra from Bakes and Baldwin she assured me she had worked with the Water's Edge Resort and Spa for many other weddings and this had me feeling more confident. When I spoke with the Water's Edge they also confirmed that Bakes and Baldwin had done a beautiful job on previous weddings and I knew I was headed in the right direction.
The flowers were not extremely important to me at first but after speaking with Debra I knew that they would help set the style of our wedding but since I didn't want to bring in an accent color I kept it simple with white flowers for everything.
I also liked that Debra did not try to push me outside of my budget. She made it very clear what my budget would and wouldn't allow and helped me make choices that I could comprise on the type of flower or on the number of arrangements without straying for my original budget. I think she really listened to me and that was not my experience with a lot of other florists who I spoke with. At the end of the day I thought Debra was honest and reliable and provided a great product.

Water's Edge weddings, Westbrook, Ct.

 Danielle was an exquisite bride, from her amazing gown, to her veil that softly fell and trained . Her bouquet was perfect too. Stephanotis and crystals added the perfect texture to her overall look. 

Due to the weather, we moved her ceremony into the Grand Ballroom at Water's Edge. Every part of this amazing arch framed her softly

.  

 Moody uplighting showcased the upright centerpieces perfectly.

 The Grand Ballroom was dressed for the occasion.....4 window alcoves shimmered crystals, yes, we hung all the crystals with the utmost care. A very intensified undertaking.  My camera would not capture the colorful glow of crystals throughout the room. It was a "WOW"

Even the cake sat centerstage....looking so grand with flowers and cyrstals........It was such a pleasure to work with Danielle.......Her vision manifested for a timeless, soft and romantic wedding.......The staff at "Water's Edge" and Maggie Bascom, the sales manager, worked hard to create magic..........I am so thrilled to be a part of their wonderful day......

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

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!!

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.

Water's Edge Inn, Westbrook, Ct. wedding

What a wonderful time we had creating a beautiful wedding for Tina, the daughter of  Water's Edges owner. She started with a unique dress and we had just enough to wrap her bouquet handle. She loved dark red roses......and the bouquet was perfect.

Tina's ceremony took place in the Grand ballroom. The bride and groom stood in front of the ballroom fireplace. When the candles were lit.....and the lights dimmed....

The Salon ballroom we dressed with a 37' backdrop in cream drapes hung from the ceiling to floor  and twinkle lights. It certainly

created an amazing feeling of wedding bliss.

Centerpieces were perfect!!!

Tina was a dream......Thank you Tina!! And as always Water's Edge Staff ..Thank you too!!!



Ct.Wedding Florist: "Crystal" and her beautiful wedding at "Water's Edge"

 This bouquet says so much about Crystal and her vision. She loved pin-cushion protea....from then on we built layers of amazement........Flower combinations and colors together fill me with joy.......as I create.......bouquets become magical......adding the final detail.....orange crocosmia......brought whimsy and huge smile.........Love this bouquet!!!

Crystal, before.........with her bouquet........and then, her bouquet with her gown.......breathtaking!!!

I love this photo....you can see the groom looking at Crystal......a shot I rarely get.....Priceless!!!

Thanks Water's Edge  it is always a "Pleasure" and to Crystal and Eric......Wish you happiness and joy!!!  

Ct.Wedding Florist: Stacey and Michael's wedding flowers at Water's Edge

 "Congratulations" to Stacey and Michael.......It was a beautiful day.  Stacey loved Sunflowers...

voila~~ Her bouquet was smiling as she met her groom at the wrought iron gazebo on the upper

patio of Water's Edge. 

 Aqua was a complimentary color........The bridesmaids dresses were a perfect backdrop for these

fun and beachy like bouquets.

 I did get a shot of Victoria setting up for Stacey and Michaels ceremony. Just a fun shot.

Hat's off to Stacey and Michael..........I appreciate being a part of their most wonderful day.
