PRETTY IN PINK…
This wedding was all about the details, and Alyssa knew exactly the look she was going for. We sourced lots of linen samples and landed on the perfect blush with just the right texture and feel for what Alyssa had in mind. Then it was on to chargers… Alyssa wanted a pop of blue so we found the perfect state plate; a wide border of deep blue with a tiny gold band on the edge. We added our hemstitch linen napkin with a French ribbon in coral. The menu the couple designed was perfect and together we created something amazing. Alyssa and Matt’s wedding was gorgeous. It took some digging and sourcing to find all the right elements but the vision came to life on their day.
PULLING IT TOGETHER FOR OUR BRIDE…
One of my favorite things in this business is to hand my brides their bouquet on the wedding day. I love to see their reaction, and after months of planning, it is such a great moment. I had spent a great deal of time with this family, and I was looking forward to the big day. In our final meeting, I had to tell Alyssa I would not be there to deliver her personal flowers because I had scheduled a surgery I could not put off any longer. Five days before Alyssa and Matt’s big day, I had my tonsils removed. My doctor told me that I wasn’t allowed to do anything but rest for fourteen days. “Yeah, about that…” Friday afternoon I was in the shop, finishing off bouquets and making sure everything – down to the ribbons used to tie the napkins – was picture perfect. Thanks to following Dr’s orders for the first few days, and a fist full of advil, I was able to deliver Alyssa’s bouquet. Nothing could have kept me away from this wedding!! There was no way Alyssa and Matt were walking into a room that had one candle out of place. The flowers were coral, peach, and blush tones, with pops of deep raspberry to set it all off. The hemstitch napkins, pierced fruit bowls, taper candles in vintage glass candlesticks, white china containers and layers of votives pulled the look together perfectly. We pulled off a fabulous wedding for a fabulous couple, and made sure Alyssa had the perfect blend of everything she desired.
THANK YOU…
Most of all to Alyssa, Matt, and their families for letting us help create such an amazing day, to the Mazzone Group and the staff at the Hall of Springs for helping make everything perfect, to Christine Wheat and her staff for making sure every last detail was in place, to Tracey Buyce for these breathtaking photos, to Make Me Fabulous for helping the bride and her girls bring it in a big way, to Villa Italia for the scrumptious and oh-so-pretty cake, to Mike Emory and the New York Players for getting the guests out of their seats and on to the dance floor, and, finally, to my staff for working tirelessly to make sure everything exceeded our standard of excellence.
Congratulations Alyssa and Matt!
