Purple Powered July Wedding at Falkirk Estate and Country Club in Central Valley, NY Flowers by Engaging Floral Designs The mother of the bride worked with us directly on the floral scheme for her daughter's wedding since she lived out of the area. The bride wanted an all purple wedding with varied centerpieces on the tables. The first of the three centerpiece styles was a trio of cylinder vases with submerged purple dendrobium orchid sprays in each and a floating candle that would be illuminated prior to guests entering the room for dinner and dancing. The second of the three centerpieces was a low mounded arrangement of purple and fuscia toned flowers such as purple hydrangea, fuscia and purple stock, purple mums, lavender roses, and greenery. These photos we took to the left.

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.

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 ...

Pretty in Pink and White - June 2010 Wedding Ceremony: St. Joachim's Church in Beacon, NY Reception: Catlin Gardens in Slate Hill, NY Flowers designed by Engaging Floral Designs in Beacon, NY It was a great day for a wedding that began at a local church in Beacon where Engaging Floral Designs provided some tossing cones for the guests to toss to the bride and groom at the end of the ceremony outside. The boutonnieres were calla lilies and roses - they are sturdy and last longer than other options of more delicate flowers so they are great for long photo sessions! The bridesmaids and maids of honor carried a combination of all pink hydrangea or all hot pink rose bouquets. The bright pink really popped against their black dresses. The bride's bouquet was a really lush elegant white/cream bouquet of white stock, roses, hydrangea, lisianthus and calla lilies. It looked gorgeous with the bride's dress! The reception was a simple setup but for a budget the pieces were just...
