Lauren wanted her ceremony to be a bit muted and elegant while the punch of color and whimsy showcased at the reception.  The location was Laurel View Country Club in Hamden, Ct, which is very pretty, but does need a more up to date makeover.  The curtains and rug are deep burgundy and Lauren really wanted her centerpieces to compliment the room…so of course, we delivered!

We used so many unique colors for this summer wedding, they worked so well with each other and really pulled everything together.

Her favorite flowers were peonies and we were able to get her the most beautiful Coral peonies ever!

The ceremony took place at Yale, The Marquand Chapel, which was the most beautiful room to design in.

Have fun at Lauren’s wedding and remember to click on the pics for a larger view!

Just a little note I left for my bride:)

Love the cranes "flying" in the vase. The chair bows matched perfectly!

Worked with great people on this one:

Enjoy….

Every table was designed according to each couple’s style and color theme.  It was a challenge to design 14 different table centerpieces that were all so different.  The lighting really made the centerpieces come alive!

This is just a teaser!  I really want to wait for the professional pics that were taken by the amazing Aurora Photography!  Thank you Aurora, Cate, and Morgen!  What a bunch of down to earth, great gals!

I LOVES THEM!

Aurora posted some teaser shots for me that you can view on her facebook gallery.

Lisa, the owner of Chair Affair, and I designed 3 main table displays which were fully set with linens, chair covers, napkins etc   They were all of different themes. Then there were about 8 other tables that had smaller centerpieces.

Please enjoy all of my different creations….

As most of the people who know me will say that I don’t only define myself as a Wedding Designer but also as an Entreprenuer.  I think you have to really own that title when you are running your own business.  I am very good at marketing my business and love it when I can see all of my hard work of “getting my name out” , come full circle.

This is also the first year that I am designing much more then just weddings.  The “Special Events” are rolling in!  Bar Mitzvahs, Bridal Showers, High End Funerals, Rehearsal Dinners, etc etc

I am very excited to have such a diversified list of events this year!

So, without further ado, I introduce you to the Preferred Wedding Florist for:

The New Haven Lawn Club, New Haven (just signed up with them this week!)

The Omni Hotel at Yale, New Haven (new this year!)

The Water’s Edge Resort and Spa, Westbrook (6 months and going…)

The Woodwinds, Branford (seems like I’ve been designing wedding there forever….4 years!)

The next one in my sights…..Cascade in Hamden….I’ll let you know when that is final.  They are really impressed with my creations!

I was hired for a Bar Mitzvah to create tall Purple Ostrich Feather centerpieces.  I was so excited when I got the call because I love making these centerpieces, they are so much fun.  This was the first time I had used the purple color and they came in vibrant, to say the least! Loves them!

I arranged them to sit atop a tall tower vase (eiffel tower vase) filled with white water beads for a little more flair!

This event took place at Cascade in Hamden. Their chandeliers are to die for!  A very classic place to have any special event.

These centerpieces and any other color ostrich feather centerpiece available for rental!

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………

Winvian is home to many unnamed famous clients whom enjoy the horses and vineyard while they stay in the eclectically designed high end cabins.

Since I knew that it would take place in the barn they rent out for weddings, I wanted to go with warm colors and a harvest feel.  I love mixing unique items with flowers such as champagne grapes, wired covered moss balls, artichokes, candles, moss covered candles etc  Especially in the fall, bringing natural elements into the design really completes the harvest feel.

This style of design is a perfect impression piece for a wedding place card table, a hotel foyer, a restaurant entry way etc.
