Colorful spring flowers at a Gedney Farm wedding
R and D were married on a perfect late spring day at Gedney Farm in the Berkshires. Warm and breezy, surrounded by green! All photos taken by Lev Kuperman Photography Location: Gedney Farm, New Marlborough MA Flowers by me! Passalongs Farm R’s request for flowers: colorful, garden-inspired, seasonal, not too much but certainly not too little. Easy to do when it’s the season for peonies, cress, and daffodils! R’s maids had flowers similar to hers but smaller and simpler. I love how the light and dark blues of the delphinium mirror, but don’t exactly match, their dresses. Makes the whole vision seem effortless and casual, but still special and sweet.…

A love story in dahlias: white, blush and burgandy flowers at a Boylston Rooms wedding
Words I would use to describe J and O’s wedding flowers at the Boylston Rooms a few falls ago are these: classic, classy, timeless, and perfect! The color scheme was quintessential fall, but on the minimal side: white, blush, and burgandy, with a touch of drama – and dahlias, of course. Always dahlias! All photos by Leah Freeman Photography. Location: The Boylston Rooms, Easthampton, Massachusetts. Wedding florals by moi! Passalongs Farm. Both J & O’s bouquets included the aforementioned dahlias (white, blush, and burgandy!) but also heirloom chrysanthemums, perennial phlox, eryngium, plus eucalyptus and agonis for foliage. The Boylston Rooms is so pretty no matter which way people go with…

Bright summer flowers and all smiles at The Red Barn at Hampshire College
Warning: there is so much smiling in these pictures that my cheeks hurt just from looking at them! So fun! Jenn and Sean were married on a gorgeous summer day here in western Massachusetts. Scroll through to guess the requested colors: (answer: orange, orange, and more orange!) I love it! I mixed my own eryngium, nigella, stock, feverfew, baptisia foliage, mint, and billy buttons with orange roses and chrysanthemums to hit the color scheme, and mixed in a few lilies at Jenn’s request as they are a special flower to her. All photos by Oliver Scott. Location: The Red Barn at Hampshire College, Amherst MA. Flowers by moi! Passalongs Farm…

A dreamy spring wedding at Valley View Farm
T & C were married on a cool April Day – a springtime wedding at Valley View Farm in western Massachusetts. The birds were singing. Valley View’s apple trees were popping blooms. And I was able to incorporate all the flowers of spring into their blush and white florals: tulips, hyacinth, ranunculus, leucojeum and lots and lots of pieris japonica! Location: Valley View Farm, Haydenville, MA Photographer: Jeffrey Rifkin Photography Flowers by me! When I do a consultation I always ask the couple: do you want the bridesmaids’ bouquets to be the same as the bride’s, but smaller and simpler? That’s what’s happening here. The same flowers I used in…

Consultation
Wedding Flowers from Passalongs Farm: I thought it would be useful to write out a little outline of how the wedding flower consultation and booking process goes when working with me. I do wedding flowers for both full service and DIY weddings, as well as hybrid (a mixture of designed + DIY.) A “full-service” wedding is one where couples need personal wedding flowers (the ones a person holds or are on the body, like bouquets or boutonnieres or crowns), ceremony decor, and reception decor. (Note: if you are hosting a small wedding or you’re the DIY type, please see The DIY Wedding Package.) Don’t know if you’re full service, small,…

Sunny summer wedding at Harrington Farm
J+C got married at the peak of summer, on a warm (but not too warm), gorgeous day at Harrington Farm in Princeton, Massachusetts. One thing I love about summer weddings is that the flowers are at peak – and J + C took total advantage of that! They chose juicy peachy-pink tones, which complemented the gorgeous setting perfectly! All photos by Katie Karlberg Photo. (except as noted) Location: Harrington Farm Flowers by me! J’s bouquet was a mix of locally grown blooms like lisanthus, zinnias, dahlias, and veronica and a few peachy garden roses as well. Her maids’ bouquets were similar, but smaller (naturally!) C’s groomsmen’s boutonnieres were each different,…

Perfectly peach fall wedding flowers at Valley View Farm, Haydenville
September is a perfect time for wedding flowers if you’re working with a farmer-florist, like me. Pretty much ALL the most special flowers are in bloom: the dahlias, the lisianthus, the fancy zinnias, romantic hydrangea, the scabiosas…that’s what M and J wanted for their perfectly peach fall wedding at Valley View Farm in Haydenville, MA, last September, and that’s what they got. All photos: Paul Robert Berman Photography. Location: Valley View Farm. Florals: Me! The pavilion at Valley View always affords a spectacular backdrop. We accented the ceremony space with large, lush arrangements of seasonal flowers atop whisky barrels, and lined the aisles with peach, white, and orange arrangements placed…

Seasonal summer flowers for a New England summer wedding
I’ve flowered a couple of weddings at Fruitlands so far, and each seems to be at the peak of summer. The warmest days, the peak of summer flower harvest, and always, always, that beautiful view of the hills of central Massachusetts from the ceremony spot in the meadow. Summer wedding flowers are the most varied and offer so many possibilities! As mentioned, the location of this wedding is the grounds of Fruitlands Museum, Harvard, Massachusetts. All photos are by Fergie Medar Photography. Colleen’s bouquet was pinks and light purples and whites – really perfect for peak-summer flowers. You can see a few roses in her bouquet, but I also used…

Warm fall colors at a warm fall wedding – The Boylston Rooms, Easthampton
Dallas and Jessee were all about the terracotta colors at their warm fall wedding at The Boylston Rooms in Easthampton. I’d describe their warm-toned, seasonal wedding florals as cozy, seasonal, and elegant. All photos are by Bug and June Photo. Location: The Boylston Rooms, Easthampton. Flowers by me! I used several different dahlias in Dallas’s bouquet, including a couple of my favorite soft orange blooms, Labyrinth and Jowey Linda, Added some nice orange roses, some beautiful peach and cream lisianthus I got from Old Friends Farm, a few heirloom chrysanthemums and some soft blue-green eucalyptus and ta da! Proof that an all-orange wedding bouquet is anything but uniform. The couple’s…
