A BABY SHOWER AT THE HIGHLANDS COUNTRY CLUB - JANUARY 2010


In January 2010 Engaging Floral Designs in Beacon, NY designed wreath centerpieces for a chic baby shower held at The Highlands Country Club in Garrison, NY. The wreaths around each candelabra were designed with angel vine, white wax flower, spray roses, and standard white roses. All of these flowers dry nicely so that guests could take home the wreaths to hang on their door. The hostess really loved this idea and so did the guests! We provided organza ribbon to each guest to provide a decorative hanging element to the re-purposed centerpiece.


The hostess also requested a wheat horseshoe wreath be made for the mom to be to hang on her baby's nursery door. She got the idea from a Martha Stewart catalog of a wreath hung in a frame on the wall.

The hostess had so many adorable details that really looked great all set up at the club... Little bun in the oven escort card favors on a table with the mom-to-be's own baby outfit from when she was little.



The hostess did an amazing job on the dessert table with a white/cream and pale pink theme continuing throughout the room. Marzipan, cookies, meringues, cupcakes, Jordan almonds...it was a hit among the guests!

A Grand June Wedding at Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor, New York Flowers by Engaging Floral Designs The aisle markers that were used at the ceremony which took place at St. Theresa's Church in Trumbull, CT were repurposed to decorate the mantle and cocktail tables at Trump National Golf Club. It was a good way to get additional use out of the pieces site. Onsite we had replenished these pieces with beautiful hydrangeas, dahlias, roses, bells of ireland, lisianthus and other delicate flowers in the blue/creamy white/green color scheme. The sweetheart table was adorned with a lush draping arrangement of the same flowers including white stock and ruscus. There were 20 centerpieces in total so it was plenty to do half as low arrangements and the other half as tall candelabra centerpieces. It saved the bride some money to do some low instead of all high. The containers/candelabras were rental pieces that the florist provided and setup. In the foyer, a large escort ...

A Challenging September wedding at West Park Winery Day of Coordination by NY Engagements, LLC. With all the weeks of planning and care that goes into each event as a day of coordinator, there's always one that a planner picks up that comes pre-packaged with a whirlwind of potential challenges that we will be walking into - from working with vendors who are brand new to the wedding industry, potential weather related issues at mainly outdoor venues/tented weddings, high traffic holiday weekends that can leave vendors traveling long distances stranded... yes this all affected us. In addition, there are the challenges that you'll least expect - like a ceremony participant knocking over and breaking a ceremonial teapot for a Korean tea ceremony, a dj having a corrupt music file for the bride's ceremony entrance music that we had to remedy quickly for him, a rickety chuppah that falls down with an intense gush of tornado wind just as the ceremony ends, a dj that didn't kno...
