Summer romance at Water’s Edge Resort and Spa

Nicha and Jeff’s wedding was so romantic, I fell in love with the Gazebo decor…simple cymbidium orchids hanging from all sides, surrounding them as if it were raining orchids….so dreamy!

They added lots of seashore details, which was perfect for The Water’s Edge, being located right on the water.

Nicha LOVES orchids, so they were EVERYWHERE!  Vanda Orchids speckled her bouquet as the Bridesmaids had accents of Dendrobrium orchids.  Cymbidium orchids hung from the gazebo and Purple Mokara orchids adorned the ceremony chairs and Dendrobriums for the centerpieces.

I have to give myself a pat on the back for a second…..Did you know that there are umpteen different types AND shades of purple orchids??? Well, fortunately, I do!  Some have pink undertones, some have blue undertones….This is why it is so important for floral designers to get swatches!!!  Purple can be 8 thousand different shades.  So when I saw the swatch of the sash for the Bridesmaids dresses, I knew exactly which purple orchids I wanted and went searching for them…it was rough, but I found them! It pays off to have the same undertone as the dress…which in the case was a blue undertone.  Those dresses looked like they were made for those bouquets!  Don’t let me get started on the color green….there are more shades of green than I car for…but again, I did my magic and everything looked fantastic!

Thank you….enough about me….How about these photos? How dreamy are they???

Victoria Souza and her husband, Erik,  were so friendly and wonderful, as always!  Their photos really captured their love and special moments throughout the day. And also caught Mine and Nicha’s little surprise lining the ceremony aisle….can you see what hides between the rose petals?????

Sherry and Chris at Water’s Edge in Westbrook

This was such a spectacular wedding!  Sherry wanted pink, pink, pink….of course coupled with the occasional BLING!   And Chris was as sweet as could be, he will be the prefect hubby!

Worked with great people on this one:

Water’s Edge BRIDAL SHOW

I am the preferred wedding florist for The Water’s Edge Resort and Spa located in Westbrook, Ct.  They had their annual bridal show this past weekend and the turn out was great!  I met a ton of great brides and loved hearing about their weddings.

I decided to design an example of guest table that would be at the reception.  I chose a clean and fresh color scheme: yellow, white and green…..with an accent of black!

I call it TROPICAL ELEGANCE………
