My jaw dropped when Melissa Murphy sent me her INCREDIBLE photos of Krystal and Jonathon's May 8th wedding. You can see the whole wedding on her blog. It's a classic city wedding. Krystal requested whites and greens with bits of purple. We used all my vintage milk glass and stemware. It was so much fun to put together. Makes me long for spring! I'll post the tables later. Congrats to the happy couple. xo

Wedding Chick
Little behind in posting this morning. I wanted to thank the Wedding Chicks for doing a lovely little profile on my work the other day! Check it out here. So thrilled and very grateful. They also posted images of a real wedding I designed flowers for in May at the Bryant Park Grill. I will post those flower images shortly. Yahoo!

Nice Italian girl and sweet Midwest boy wed. What do you get? Why a classic affair with old world charm yet updated with a contemporary twist - like holding your ceremony in the old Williamsburg Savings Bank's vault. This place makes you want to put on little white gloves and match your purse to your shoes. This is when a visit to the bank was serious business. The light during cocktail hour was sublime. Congrats Lisa and Chris. xo
Two different designs were created and placed on alternating tables. I can not decide which table top I preferred. The colors ranged from pale pinks to coral, raspberry and deep plum. Amazing how overnight the flower market has changed from spring to summer. Colors deepened, branches have sprouted berries and mini fruits, grasses and fronds emerge.
Sorry these photos just do not capture how dreamy and erethral the ceremony site was. I'm dying to see the professional images. Notice my two little golden pheasants made it into the design :)
I always get a bit nervous when I have to design a piece on sight. But clearly some things have to be done on the day of. For such a big wedding (with like a billizon candles) things were moving at a completely relaxed pace. I felt confident and had the best time working with my amazing team of flower warriors.

I am still feeling a little high from last night's gig. I was in awe. So many lovely details to share. Here is the bouquet. I wanted an old world, glamorous but youthful design. Kansas peonies, Juliet roses, black beauty roses, spray rose, jasmine, sweet pea, clematis, dusty, poppy pod, basil and more. The wedding was at Skylight One Hanson (formerly the Williamsburg Saving Bank) - incredible space. Currently the Brooklyn Flea is held there. For those that don't know, the Brooklyn Flea is this great market of vintage and handmade goods. I picked up that berry colored ostrich feather there one afternoon from a guy selling vintage trimmings and millinery bits. Nice that it made it back to where I found it. Have a good one. I am relaxing with Littlest Pheasant today and will post more images tomorrow. Talk soon.

Good morning. What are you all up to today? I am getting my ducks in order for this weekend but dreaming of farmers markets, country roads and cocktails in the evening. We head out to visit some great friends in Massachusetts in a couple of weeks and it's all I am thinking about. Especially on this sweltering city summer day.
In the meantime take a look at this spring fresh wedding I designed flowers for back in May at the Alger House in Greenwich Village. The talented Laura Ryan just posted it on her blog. Weddings = Happiness. It feels good to be apart of such goodness. Congrats to Kate and Dinush! xo
