Ct.Wedding Florists: Jilllians Wedding Flowers at "Waterview." Ct.

Jillian and her family were a joy!!!
As you can see,
we had a perfect color palette and a perfect wedding planner....Char.
Char and I worked together on another family wedding a year earlier.
I appreciate the referral and the opportunity to embrace another family member.....
It was great fun.
How about those "tornadoes" in Shelton as I am driving through Shelton on to Monroe to deliver Jillian's wedding flowers? How was I to know when my van was filling with rain pouring in the side windows and the wind knocking and bumping?.....I "endured".... I made it.....but....it was scary!!!

Hi Debra,

I just wanted to take a little time, now that I have a little, to thank you so much for the wonderful effort you put into Jillian and Craig's wedding.
The flowers were absolutely gorgeous.
In retrospect, I only wished that I had considered the thought that we might have two confirmed tornadoes in our immediate area and decorated the downstairs!
Oh well! I understand that we also had a rainbow to commemorate the ceremony.
Well, the staff went into overdrive and brought a few of the flowers that were on the tables and put them in the "chapel" area.
It was classy and lovely.

Again thank you for "working" with Charlene's cousin's budget which I deeply appreciate.
I am sure if Jillian and Craig weren't cruising the Mediterranean Sea right now. they would thank you, too!

Again thank you for your creativity and professionalism.

Best regards,

Meg

I am so thrilled to be a part of this wonderful wedding and family.
I look forward to working together again....as soon as we can.
Success and love to Jillian and Craig.

Ct.Wedding Florist: Hydrangea Wedding Bouquets.....Thank you, Katherine


Katherine loved the simplicity of Hydangea......
a perfect wedding flower......
We designed these with her style in mind.
Hydrangea with a mix of lemon leaves gave these bouquets contrast and a more natural gardeny feeling.
Just perfect!!
Hydrangea wreaths are perect!

Oh!! how I love my Brides.
Katherine looked beautiful (I didn't get the shot)
She wants to share her photos and I am thrilled.
So......more to come. Yay!!!

Ct.Wedding Florist: Wedding flowers at New Haven Country Club, Ct.

It was such a joy to meet with Emily and Nick for the first time.......
Nick's family was from this area and we went way back servicing the floral needs of his family in years past. Joyce, Nick's mom, was so thrilled to contact us. Wow!! the time had come.. Wedding time!!!
The suprise factor in Emily's choices for flowers included cypripedium orchids...a perfect choice since (except for the bridesmaids flowers) the overall color scheme was chartreuse green and white.
Emily and Nick chose New Haven Country Club for their ceremony and reception. Why not create a suprise factor that all the guests have not seen........
We installed a 30" backdrop of draperies and lights and created the "WOW" factor.......inside the main dining room......


The theme remained simple and modern.
The square arch of green and white hydrangea grounded the ceremonial space perfectly. Centerpieces textured the ballroom for overall affect.


We looked forward to this wedding all year, imagining, and maifesting ......
We thank you, Emily and Nick. for your trust and unified vision........

Nick's mom wrote:

Thank you again for a magical evening.

Ct.Wedding Florist: Carols Wedding Flowers at Water's Edge, Ct.


Now what would you think that Carol's favorite flower is?

How about stargazer lillies.

If you guessed that, you are right.

Her requests to me were, large and showy.....

That's what stargazer lillies bring......

large and showy.

" Perfect" flower for Carol.

As many of you know, I am always trying to get the photo.......

and I always deliver before the bride has dressed in her gown......

But, how often do I get the perfect shot of a bride

with a tee shirt in gold lettering saying

"Bride"

Just so much fun.......Thanks, Carol!!!
This lush, rich tone of aqua (the bridesmaids dresses)

set a beautiful backdrop for the stargazer lillies.
How about our glass vases filled with aqua water?
Again, these were a perfect match to the dresses.
I would love to have a shot of all 7 bridesmaids next to these vases.
Vases and pedestals were taken by the Water's Edge staff,
and placed behind the sweetheart table.
Aqua was the theme, beachy was too...We created a mantle piece soft and simple with twinkle lights, shells and stargazer....Scaled showy and large.....
Details are so important in weddings these days,
and Carol did a great job,
right down to the candy bar in aqua......
Thank you,
Carol
Bakes and Baldwin
wish you great happiness forever with your wonderful groom.

Ct. Wedding Florist: Jamie's wonderful wedding flowers....


We have Jamie as she picks up her bouquet (no, she is not wearing red as a gown) she turns to let me photo flowers in her hair, which, by the way, looked perfect.... We used chartreuse green, purple, blue and white.
Jamie's bouquet contrasted perfectly with the bridesmaids.

She chose 2 honor attendants, 6 bridesmaids, 2 Jr. bridesmaids and 2 flower girls (with accents of) all dressed in cobalt blue...
We maintained the density of colors against the dresses,
creating just enough contrast. The Madison Congregational has a soft blue backdrop and new carpet in a royal blue, perfect for the cobalt dresses....How often does that happen!!
I love swagging the railings.
This frames in the bride and groom so perfectly.

I loved working with Jamie and her Mom.... I was honored to be a part of their wedding , I only wish Jamie had 5 sisters....
A perfect day, with a wonderful family.
(((((Hugs))))

Debra,
The flowers were PERFECT!! Everyone commented on them - and thanks for putting the pictures on the web. I posted it on my facebook. It was such a grand night. I don't have the photograpy site - yet but as soon as I do I will send it to you.
My heart is so full!!!
