darcy miller, martha stewart weddings

i had the unique opportunity to spend a rainy morning yesterday with Darcy Miller, Editor in Chief of Martha Stewart Weddings magazine. the mentors walk, sponsored by Women@NBCU and StepUp Women's Network paired mentees with mentors to learn and be inspired by these fabulous women. i was thrilled to be paired with Darcy and my fellow mentee Silfath Pinto. i truly appreciate the time Darcy spent and the advice she offered! thank you!

brooklyn pop-up wedding series, week 2

this week you will be able to see the fabulous photography/film exhibit in brooklyn. find out more info about here.
i was inspired to create something a little more textural in deep plums tones with accents of
chartreuse green..the combo of burlap and ribbon creates an interesting little twist.
be sure to stop by and check it out!

sunshine and burgers

last saturday was the perfect day for a wedding in nyc! the weather was so beautiful and had followed a miserably rainy day on friday so it was a relief to see the sun shining on saturday morning. i worked with the bride on her personal flowers, flowers for the ceremony and then was the also the day of coordinator for her wedding. they did not have flowers for their reception at tabla but the decor of the restaurant is so beautiful that they really didn't need anything...and the food is amazing!

she carried a simple bouquet of all white flowers, calla lilies, freesia and roses, accented with lily grass and foliage from japenese dogwood branches. i loved the simplicty and it looked perfect with her dress. the ceremony was held at the university parish of st. joseph, a beautiful church in greenwich village.

the day went off without a hitch and the best part of the night...when shake shack delivered cheeseburgers and shakes at about 11pm! the guests were thrilled and it was the perfect ending to their beautiful sunny wedding day.

pop-up flowers

here's a peek at the design i created last week for the brooklyn pop-up wedding series. i love the combo of orange, yellow with natural accents of bark and succulents.

check out what else is coming up at 303 grand this week HERE.

spring lilac

i did a wedding before memorial day weekend and used beautiful lilac - it was SO fragrant my studio smelled amazing while i was designing the arrangements. i loved the way the white glass vases let the flowers really pop against the clean, white design of the space. and it was a such an amazing day for an outdoor wedding...look at that blue sky!
