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 ...

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...
