A Goddess Love in Paris - September Wedding at La Panetiere in Rye, New York
Flowers by Engaging Floral Designs
Day of Coordination by NY Engagements, LLC

The bride and her bridesmaids had a very early morning getting ready at 5am at The Tarrytown House with their hair stylist Massimo. Their photographer, Ivaylo Markov from The Pros Entertainment Services arrived at 8am to capture the getting ready shots and photos of the bouquets when they arrived from Engaging Floral Designs.



















The ceremony was held at Blessed Sacrament Church in New Rochelle, New York. It's a very strict church as we've worked there numerous times so our best advice is for couples to get prior approval on everything so that the rehearsal doesn't come as a surprise when you find out they only allow one way to walk down the aisle...girls solo with the guys already all up front. Fortunately, the coordinating team from NY Engagements, LLC was able to work with the Monsr. to compromise and allow the couple to have their bridal party walk down the aisle in pairs. Woohoo! The bride was thrilled and saved her night.

The harpist for the ceremony was none other than Margaret Sanzo Sneddon - she's fabulous to work with and has an amplifier to ensure guests can hear her beautiful songs!

Onward at the reception: The centerpieces were small glass containers filled with a similar assortment of pink and orangey toned roses/spray roses which were placed on the guest tables at the restaurant. At each table, the bride had a greek goddess table name in beautiful frames.
On each napkin, every guest received a single rose since the bride loved the flower so much. It was a romantic, intimate setting at the restaurant.

The dj, Gabriela Jeffrey, did well in keeping the flow of events moving even though the dance floor was in a completely separate room from the dinner area.

More pictures will hopefully follow to provide more images of the beautiful setup at the wedding.

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. Instead of signing a book, guests write messages on individual wine bottles to be enjoyed by the couple on future anniversaries (or first milestones as a married couple such as “first baby”, “first home”, “first holiday”).  2. 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...
