A Goddess Love in Paris - September Wedding at La Panetiere in Rye, New York
Flowers by Engaging Floral Designs
Day of Coordination by NY Engagements, LLC

The bride and her bridesmaids had a very early morning getting ready at 5am at The Tarrytown House with their hair stylist Massimo. Their photographer, Ivaylo Markov from The Pros Entertainment Services arrived at 8am to capture the getting ready shots and photos of the bouquets when they arrived from Engaging Floral Designs.



















The ceremony was held at Blessed Sacrament Church in New Rochelle, New York. It's a very strict church as we've worked there numerous times so our best advice is for couples to get prior approval on everything so that the rehearsal doesn't come as a surprise when you find out they only allow one way to walk down the aisle...girls solo with the guys already all up front. Fortunately, the coordinating team from NY Engagements, LLC was able to work with the Monsr. to compromise and allow the couple to have their bridal party walk down the aisle in pairs. Woohoo! The bride was thrilled and saved her night.

The harpist for the ceremony was none other than Margaret Sanzo Sneddon - she's fabulous to work with and has an amplifier to ensure guests can hear her beautiful songs!

Onward at the reception: The centerpieces were small glass containers filled with a similar assortment of pink and orangey toned roses/spray roses which were placed on the guest tables at the restaurant. At each table, the bride had a greek goddess table name in beautiful frames.
On each napkin, every guest received a single rose since the bride loved the flower so much. It was a romantic, intimate setting at the restaurant.

The dj, Gabriela Jeffrey, did well in keeping the flow of events moving even though the dance floor was in a completely separate room from the dinner area.

More pictures will hopefully follow to provide more images of the beautiful setup at the wedding.

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 ...

Orchids and Curly Willow Arrangements

Here's a simple look for those that are not big flower fans but want to still have pieces that make a statement in a room with very high ceilings.  Trumpet vases with white dendrobium orchids, oncidium yellow orchids and tall curly willow branches.

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...
