Purple Powered July Wedding at Falkirk Estate and Country Club in Central Valley, NY
Flowers by Engaging Floral Designs

The mother of the bride worked with us directly on the floral scheme for her daughter's wedding since she lived out of the area. The bride wanted an all purple wedding with varied centerpieces on the tables.

The first of the three centerpiece styles was a trio of cylinder vases with submerged purple dendrobium orchid sprays in each and a floating candle that would be illuminated prior to guests entering the room for dinner and dancing.

The second of the three centerpieces was a low mounded arrangement of purple and fuscia toned flowers such as purple hydrangea, fuscia and purple stock, purple mums, lavender roses, and greenery. These photos we took to the left.



Below are professional photos taken by Allan Levine Photography:
The picture to the left is the third centerpiece style which is designed as a small elevated arrangement atop a contemporary tower vase. It's a slightly varied version of the low piece with the addition of dendrobium orchids spraying from the base.

The ceremony took place in a room downstairs. The weather was threatening with on and off rain overcast the whole time we were setting up. The bride really wanted it outside but with the rain falling, we quickly relocated the decor to the inside plan b room and it turned out just as lovely.

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.

Alternative Wedding Guest Book Ideas That Serve As Functional Home Decor After The Wedding

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable moments of your life, and what better way to cherish those memories than with a creative guest book alternative? Sure there’s always the Polaroid Photo DIY Guest Book, but let’s take the ideas up a notch! Here are 5 unique wedding guest keepsakes that capture the essence of your special day while also having a functional purpose to enjoy for years to come: 1. Anniversary Wine Bottles: Anniversary wine bottle guest books are a unique and romantic twist on the traditional guest book concept.

Guest Book Bench: Have guests sign a wooden bench or stool with markers. After the wedding, place the bench in your garden or entryway as functional seating with sentimental value. 3. Travel Map Guest Book: Use a map of the wor...
