The day started with a 10am delivery of all the personal flowers to the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel where the bridal party was getting ready.

The bridesmaid bouquets were a combination of orange and peachy/pink roses with green hypericum berry accents and pittosporum leaves to complement their sage colored dresses. Photo by Nick Carter Photography


The bridal bouquet was a combination of hydrangeas, cream roses and spray roses with crystals accenting the handle.

At the ceremony site, the wind was really picking up due to a tornado watch in the area albeit a beautiful September day. The ceremony backdrop was a gorgeous view of the Hudson River and two pale pink and cream arrangements adorned each side of the area where the bride and groom would stand for the ceremony. Hand tied aisle markers lined the way for the bridal party to make their entrance and used flowers that were found in the ceremony pieces. Photos by Nick Carter Photography



Inside in the reception room, a manzanita tree rental greeted guests as they picked up their escort cards. When lit, the hanging votives set a beautiful ambiance for the evening.

This tree has white dendrobium orchids strewn among the branches with hanging votives. The base was covered with pink toned roses. A very romantic look. This photo of the manzanita tree was taken using my camera phone (not a professional photo by Nick Carter).

The cake topper used fresh flowers and was a simple look to complete a sleek design (Photo by Nick Carter Photography):

On the long oval reception tables, a trio of arrangements accented the length. The best part about using these kinds of centerpieces is that there are 3 per table so every couple could take one home at the end of the night. The large center arrangement contains white hydrangea, green hydrangea, orange and pale pink roses, and greenery. The two smaller arrangements contain all roses with snow on the mountain greenery. The last photo here of the centerpieces was taken by Engaging Floral Designs and is not a professional photo.
