September Flowers

 One of my very best friends got married this past weekend up in the mountains of Vermont and I spent the week up there with her, playing with flowers, sipping bubbly, and breathing in that fresh mountain air. It was a foggy and cold week, but it didn't damper anyone's spirits. In fact it was one of the best, most love filled weddings I have ever been to and felt so lucky to be a part of it all!  Designing florals for this particular wedding was very near and dear to my heart, and the florals we chose were out of this world.

Featured on Wedding Sparrow : Boho Bridal Inspiration

I am ecstatic to see a bridal shoot we helped style and design featured on the oh so gorgeous Wedding Sparrow today. Lush flower crowns, delicate lace, romantic candlelight. These are a few of my favorite things - especially when it comes to Ethereal bridal beauty.  Ruthie {Ruth Eileen Photography} and I  did our best to capture that essence earlier this Summer for a gorgeous shoot we worked on with a team incredibly talented vendors. We really wanted to keep things simple by embracing the bright, white, light filled space and let the details speak for themselves.  Sharing lots of our favorites here, but make sure to check out the feature here too!

The Not Wedding Boston

A little while back we shared that we participated in the 1st Boston Not Wedding {a unique bridal show alternative in the form of a fake wedding}  It was the first Bridal Show that we have showcased at, and I have to say I truly enjoyed the experience. As a vendor it was so energizing to chat with tons of brides who were  so excited for their upcoming nuptials and a wonderful reminder of why we do this whole thing!  I am thrilled to share that this event and our designs have been featured over on Ruffled today!  I'm sharing a few of our favorite snippets from the event here but make sure to check out the feature to see more from the day and loads of other talented vendors in the Boston area.

Winter Peonies

While I strive to work with locally in-season blooms and try to be mindful of our carbon footprint, I sometimes have to make certain exceptions. Like for Peonies - I would do anything for a great bunch of peonies, anything. In the early winter months Peonies make a bit of a comeback, the florist's market is full of moody red buds coming in from South America and other warm climates. I almost feel bad that they have to arrive in snowy New England.  This past December we had a ton of them in the studio for a special winter wedding.

Featured in The Boston Globe

Last week The Boston Globe's annual Wedding Issue hit newsstands, and I am so beyond thrilled to say our work was featured. I was extra excited to see our bouquet featured along side the talented Lauren Wells Events {as well as many other amazing local vendors.}

PS. If you snagged this issue or have a chance to check it out online, the cover story spotlighted Race Brook Lodge, out in the Berkshires. Well. That's where we had our own wedding a few years ago! It's a secret little hidden gem that boasts it's own farm and gastro tavern and backs right on to the Appalachian trail, rusticity at it's best. All in all, we were in seriously good company in this issue. A huge thank you to the Globe for including us in this amazing round-up!
