Pretty in Pink and White - June 2010 Wedding
Ceremony: St. Joachim's Church in Beacon, NY Reception: Catlin Gardens in Slate Hill, NY
Flowers designed by Engaging Floral Designs in Beacon, NY

It was a great day for a wedding that began at a local church in Beacon where Engaging Floral Designs provided some tossing cones for the guests to toss to the bride and groom at the end of the ceremony outside.

The boutonnieres were calla lilies and roses - they are sturdy and last longer than other options of more delicate flowers so they are great for long photo sessions!






The bridesmaids and maids of honor carried a combination of all pink hydrangea or all hot pink rose bouquets. The bright pink really popped against their black dresses. The bride's bouquet was a really lush elegant white/cream bouquet of white stock, roses, hydrangea, lisianthus and calla lilies. It looked gorgeous with the bride's dress!









The reception was a simple setup but for a budget the pieces were just what the bride was looking for. She loved dendrobium and cymbidium orchids, floating candles, and aqua beads with submersible lights to create an enhanced pale pink glow on the tables. So that's exactly what we provided in the room.

And the wedding cake was just beautiful with the white peonies draping down each side. Too pretty to cut!

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...
