FINALLY.

whew. almost a month later, i'm finally getting around to uploading images from Liz & Ray's wedding back on august 4th. (full disclosure: i had to archive/delete a whole bunch of files from my poor lil' computer before i could even import the pics from my camera.) once again, i didn't manage to get any photographs of the bouquets, but here are some pics of boutonnieres, the reception, and a little behind the scenes action.

the reception was in the beautiful refectory at the desmond tutu conference center, and the (lovely) event design was done by molly at glitter and rye. i just loved how each table was set up - it felt so homey to me, with stacks of books and family photographs... and the fact that the room was beautiful and reminded me of harry potter's lunchroom only helped the matter!

liz & sergio at the foundry

yesterday i did the flowers for liz & sergio's wedding ceremony & reception. i did a few flowers for their civil ceremony back in november, and their formal ceremony & reception this weekend were a lot of fun to incorporate some more spring-ish flowers into. i was excited to work at the foundry  - it is such a beautiful venue. sadly everything was such a whirlwind that i was only able to snap a few photos on my way out, but here are some:

oh, and holly did calligraphy for their escort cards - they looked so great! (sorry i didn't get more pictures, holly!)

last week's mockup

last weekend i put together a centerpiece mockup for liz & sergio's wedding reception which is happening in less than 2 weeks now. i'm pretty excited about using a combination of loose succulents, botanica candles, and a sliced-up 60 lb birch log that i had the pleasure of toting to red hook a few weeks ago.

here's a few photos of the mockup all together:

this little hellebore was freckled perfection:

and these crazy ranunculus kids that were part of it have just kept getting prettier and prettier all week... love.

stephanie & mike on style me pretty

ok, clearly i was so excited about stephanie & mike's wedding being featured on style me pretty that i got lost in the excitement and completely forgot to tell you about it here! (actually.... if i'm truthful, it's just been an insanely busy week so i haven't had 2 minutes to sit down and do this.)

....but in any case, i'm telling you now! stephanie & mike's wedding which i did the flowers for back in july was featured on style me pretty last friday, and i was so happy to see all of the beautiful photographs by levi stolove up and featured! - see pics from levi below, and the complete link is here!

liz & sergio - city hall

yesterday i put together some flowers for liz & sergio who had a black friday city hall wedding. i've been talking with liz about flowers for their reception here in nyc in the spring, and we decided they needed some flowers for their civil ceremony this weekend too. it was fun to put together a little preview of the concepts we've been talking about for the reception. plus, some of my favorite flowers are starting to come back at the market so it was exciting to work with them again! I put together a bouquet and some boutonnieres/corsages, and had so much fun delivering them down to city hall. there's just something so romantic about getting married at city hall in new york, and liz & sergio both looked so fabulous! - i'm hoping to share some images from their photographer later, but for now here are some of the pics i took on my own...

stephanie & mike

yesterday i did the flowers for stephanie & mike's wedding at a gorgeous showroom in columbus circle here in nyc. it was a personal challenge for me because the look of the showroom and the taste of the couple was much more sleek & modern than my usual style, but altogether i was really happy with how it all turned out! argh - i am kicking myself because i didn't get a single photo of the bouquets! but i know that the wonderful photographer did, so i will post images when he puts them up. his photos will be better than mine anyway!

here are some images-

bethany & jerod's wedding

this weekend i did the flowers for my friends bethany & jerod's wedding... they are a super sweet couple, and they had an awesome selection of antique bottles they collected from a beach in brooklyn called dead horse bay - which is a magical place where all sorts of old medicine/cleaning/liquor bottles wash up - on my list of places to visit for sure!
the color scheme was inspired by that of a peacock feather so we worked with blues, purples, greens, and golds. i put together somewhere around 60-75 little arrangements in their bottles which we clustered on the tables at the reception. since tiny arrangements are my favorite, this was a ton of fun! bethany & jerod had so many fun friends on hand to help make it all happen - every little detail in the wedding was truly a labor of love. some pics are below!

i am still obsessing over this hydrangea.

bridesmaids' bouquets - my oh my, there were TWELVE!!

an awesome old noxzema bottle.

kyo & tim - blogged!

don't let my delay in blogging it fool you - i am super pumped because earlier this week kyo & tim's wedding was featured on green wedding shoes! - which means my flowers were on there too!! kyo did such an amazing job planning the wedding, i had so much fun doing the flowers, and i'm so excited that it was featured! - check out the full post here.

kyo & tim - photographed

even though i sprang for a fancy new camera this winter, i don't pretend to be a professional photographer - so it's always fun to see weddings i work on once they've been photographed by the real pros - in this case, the pros were merrill and tim - the sweet little photographers.

i am pumped because they just blogged some of their initial pictures from kyo & tim's wedding a couple of weekends ago... and of course they look WAY better than the photographs i took... i've posted just a couple of detail shots below, but the rest are awesome and can be found here!

sidenote - how fab was kyo's getaway dress???

tim & kyo's wedding

this weekend i did the flowers for my friends kyo & tim's wedding. throughout the planning, kyo and i realized that we have very similar taste, so this one was super fun for me because i was given a lot of freedom to do exactly what i wanted. the venue was absolutely gorgeous, too and i was so excited about how it turned out! here are some of my pics.

a very crowded, tiny apartment!
