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.

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 Sleepy Hollow Country Club Wedding on a Cold and Windy Day in October Day of Coordination by NY Engagements, LLC The day started with the girls getting pampered by their hair stylist Nicole from Beauty by Nicole and their makeup artist was none other than Meredith Hayman . The grounds of Sleepy Hollow Country Club are spectacular. The perfect setting for an outdoor wedding is on the terrace of the main "Estate" where it overlooks the rolling golf course and beyond. It was so cold, the coordinators kept the guests indoors to stay warm until the very last minute when they were asked to find a seat and were greeted by Suzanne Chapman and the other ladies in the string trio from Maura and Co. I gave them a lot of credit to withstand the cold and play for an hour in frigid temperatures! It was a very touching ceremony as the bride's father officiated the wedding. At the end of the ceremony, guests waved these adorable muslin fabric flags with "Yay" and "Y...
