Roundhouse Wedding Flowers and Day of Coordination - 2012Sept29

It was truly a pleasure to be back at the Roundhouse on September 29th working as the floral designer and day of coordinator for a wonderful couple from NYC.  It was an iffy day with the weather but the rain held out and the ceremony took place outside on the patio area at the venue (the original ceremony plan was on the lawn but it was too damp with all the rain we had previously in Beacon). 

These stands were purchased for weddings at Roundhouse and can be used indoors or outdoors. 

These aisle markers were used again after the ceremony on the cocktail tables.  Reuse and recycle!

 
Their dj didn't provide prelude music so we used my assistant's smartphone to play some prelude music stored on there as guests were seated. Their officiant was a friend and offered a very personal ceremony having everyone laughing and smiling. 
 
 
 The cocktail hour took place upstairs in the Gallery area and outside until the rain decided to eventually fall - at least it had the decency to wait until long after the ceremony was over!
 
The large doors behind the escort table arrangement open to reveal the reception area - The Waterfall room.
 


 
There were 17 tables set up in this room making for a nice open dance floor.  We loved the dimmers on the lighting and how it illuminates the re-purposed wood beam ceiling, the retractable blind/curtain system to keep the space hidden from guests during the cocktail hour (and to open it for the reception to give an amazing view of the falls).  Many thanks to the professional, friendly and hard working team at the Roundhouse to maintain a smooth flowing event. 

The only downside to the evening was that the dj had a faulty wireless microphone (and didn't bring a backup mic) and I happened to own a corded microphone that I let him use for the rest of the evening. It was a wonderful event with great vendors looking out for this couple, a great family and a fun group of friends there to celebrate their special day! 

We look forward to sharing professional photos from their photographer, Laura Marie Duncan Photography. Stay tuned...

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 ...

Backtracking to October Weddings: Roundhouse at Beacon Falls, Beacon, NY October 26, 2013

This was a very sophisticate color scheme for this wedding that looked beautiful against the rusty red brick walls at the Roundhouse!

June 4 wedding in Cold Spring and at the Grandview in Poughkeepsie, NY

The ceremony took place at Our Lady of Loretto Church in Cold Spring, NY. The mossy curly willow pillar rental pieces are exclusive to our company and is something a little different than the traditional urn arrangements. The bride chose all white pieces to keep them toned down vs. what was to come for the decor at the reception! The bride's bouquet was an all white peony bouquet and the handle was wrapped with her mother's wedding dress fabric. Beneath the bouquet hung 3 small photos of her family there in spirit. The bridesmaids held small posies of hot pink peonies and vibrant orange roses to pop against their eggplant purple dresses. At the cocktail hour at the Grandview in Poughkeepsie, NY, the bride selected floating flowers in the color scheme of the reception - hot pink open roses and purple dendrobium orchid heads. After the cocktail hour, these floating flowers were then moved to the reception tables to accent all the low centerpieces. On the escort card table, our si...
