June Salem Golf Club Wedding - Day of Coordination and Flowers

Salem Golf Club was the host site for our clients' sophisticated and elegant wedding in early June.  The color scheme was navy, white, green and silver tones.  Engaging Floral Designs provided the flowers and the day of coordinator onsite was our own Sarah Lusardi of NY Engagements, LLC .  Hillary, Edgar, Todd, and the rest of the Salem Golf Club team were exceptional to work with.  Donna, Jess and Janice from Beauty at Your Door did the hair and makeup for the girls and kept them on schedule and worked with their particular requests at the hotel.  We worked closely onsite with the band leader, Elizabeth Greene, from Ariel Entertainment and they rocked the house all night long!  Liz was a great entertainment director throughout the night and is very much someone that will listen to a bride's requests for custom needs throughout the night (for example: The groom was a drummer in the past and wanted to do a special drum performance for one of the songs!).    All the guests stayed at the Ethan Allen Hotel and the bride and groom provided guests with shuttle transportation through Leprechaun Lines to keep them safe and comfortable getting to and from the wedding. The NY Engagements team worked with the buses at the hotel and venue to manage departures and arrivals.

Here are some photos of the floral / decor set up:

Engaging Floral Designs - bouquets of white stock, roses, freesia, and dusty miller.

All of the above photos are our own camera photos taken during setup of our floral/decor work.  The clients' talented photographer was Max Aureli.  Also, his second shooter, Stephen Wang, was professional, easy to work with and made everyone feel completely at ease! Congratulations to the newly weds!

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...
