A beautiful day for a wedding - June 3 at the Howland Cultural Center and Bear Mountain Overlook Lodge

It was a spectacular day for a wedding on June 3 in the Hudson Valley! This bride had a beautiful vintage wedding dress that looked stunning against her romantic bouquet of anemones, poppies, peonies, cream roses, stock bupleurum and other local greenery.




The groom wore a peony boutonniere.





The bridesmaid dresses were a very soft pale pink color, so the bride chose to enhance some of the pink tones to make them pop against the creamy pink background.




The ceremony took place at the Howland Cultural Center. To decorate the site for this wedding, the bride chose 2 wreaths to adorn the pillars in front of the center. The wreaths will preserve nicely as well!















Inside, the ceremony area was marked by a set of ceremony arrangements on our white pedestal rentals inside the room.



At the Bear Mountain Overlook Lodge, the tables displayed a natural soft arrangement of peonies, garden roses, hydrangea, tulips, and local greenery. On each cocktail table was a single pale pink floating peony. And on the bridal party table, the bride's mother spent months collecting vintage mini bottles to scatter down the table with some of the bride's favorite flowers such as poppies, anemones, peonies and other seasonal flowers.

Looking Back - 2010's Weddings and Event Highlights..

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 look Back at 2010 - A Collection of our Top Weddings - Part I

Before we know it the 2010 wedding season will be behind us. As we get ready to ring in a new year of weddings, we take this opportunity to look back on the year with noteworthy highlights. Thanks to all our past brides for making this year one of our best so far and we look forward to working with our future brides for the upcoming season! The first wedding we'll cover is one from April 17, 2010 at the Chapel of Our Lady Restoration in Cold Spring, NY. (Photos courtesy of http://www.celimages.com/ ) The Chapel of Our Lady Restoration fits 80-90 guests. The bride chose to have reserved seating at the church due to the small pews and odd number of guests that can fit in each. The team of coordinators from NY Engagements, LLC helped organize the setup of personal decor items at the church including the wedding programs and gerbera daisies at each seat, unity candle trio at the front, and a monogrammed plaque from a friend. The floral decor was designed by Engaging Floral Designs ...

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...
