Busy Brides Survival Guide - Creative Solutions For Your I Do’s and Your Happily Ever Afterwards…

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 f...

Engaging Floral Designs was proud to be a part of a beautifully designed wedding featuring a soft color pallet of pinks, whites and greens for a summer wedding in the Westchester area. The bride's bouquet was an absolute jaw dropper - a hand picked bouquet feel...everything from astilbe, ranunculus, wax flower, veronica, peonies, spray roses and bupleurum fit into this cascading piece. Very romantic! The reception was held at the Coveleigh Club in Rye, NY - one of our favorite clubs to work at!

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...

A Chic October Wedding at St. John the Baptist in Yonkers and Reception at Villa Barone Hilltop Manor in Mahopac, NY Flowers by Engaging Floral Designs You can view a video of this wedding courtesy of Moving Pictures LLC HERE At the ceremony site, the Engaging Floral Design team pinned on the boutonnieres for the groom's bridal party: The bridesmaid bouquets looks terrific against their bright red dresses. And the flower girl looked adorable with the crown of flowers adorning her curly hair. The aisle markers were very simple baby's breath clusters with brown sheer ribbons to coordinate the fall theme the bride requested. At the altar, two colorful fall arrangements were placed on rental white pedestals brought in by Engaging Floral Designs. The pieces were transferred to the reception site after the ceremony to be re-used at the sweetheart table. At the reception, the centerpieces were a trio of brown toned square contemporary vases to line the length of the long oval ta...

Get ready for Fall in August Wedding at Kol Ami in White Plains, New York Flowers by Engaging Floral Designs Here's our take on contemporary fall with interesting textures: The bride had a European style hand tied bouquet of yellow calla lilies, tulips, dahlias, freesia, roses, lotus pods, craspedia balls, and hypericum berries. Each bouquet comes labeled with a tag so it's easy to know which bouquet goes to which bridal party member. The centerpieces were low glass cylinders filled with an arrangement of pincushion protea, dahlias, tulips, spray roses, hypericum berries, mums, lotus pods, and ac cented with angel vine.

A Pretty in Pink July wedding at Harvest on Hudson in Hastings on Hudson, New York Flowers by Engaging Floral Designs This bride loved the pink and green color combination so her wedding was all about that! Her photographer, Nick Carter provided a couple of photos of the bride's bouquet above. The boutonnieres were green cymbidium orchids since guys aren't too keen on wearing pink. It was another rain prone/tornado warning kind of day and unfortunately, the sky opened and the rain came falling down hard. From the smiles in their photos, they didn't seem to let the rain fall down on their parade and looked as happy as ever. The groom and his family were all from Ireland so a little rain is definitely good luck! Here are a couple of photos we took of the centerpieces. They were full of pink dahlias, matsumoto aster, fuscia roses, pink hydrangeas from holland, bells of ireland, green tick dianthus and green cymbidium orchids with greenery in low cylinder bowls.

A beautiful June Jewish Wedding at Temple Shaaray Tefila in Bedford Corners, New York Flowers by Engaging Floral Designs Our clients wanted a bright summery wedding look using blue, yellow, green and orange tones. We will post the professional photographers photos as soon as we get a hold of some. The photo on the left is of the chuppah we decorated using the color scheme. The flowers included orange lilies, blue hydrangeas, yellow football mums, hanging amaranthus, yellow snapdragons, and orange roses that open up beautifully! The temple was just breathtaking! You have to see this place to believe it. And with a very lovely reception hall right across the way on the grounds, it makes for the perfect wedding reception site!
