Bright and sunny summer wedding at the Boylston Rooms
When I was setting up the arch installation for Caitlyn and Justin’s Boylston Rooms wedding, someone – probably photographer Trish Kemp – said it was pretty and sunny, just like the bride’s personality. I thought this was so sweet! And since I already knew Caitlyn (as did Trish) before she hired me to do her wedding flowers, I agree! All photos of Caitlyn, Justin, and their friends are by Trish Kemp Photography. Location: the ever beautiful The Boylston Rooms, Easthampton. Flowers by me! Summer flowers give us all the variety we could ask for in a wedding bouquet, and Caitlyn’s bouquet was no exception. I used sunflowers, light blue tweedia…

All the flowers are blooming – a spring wedding at Gedney Farm!
Frannie and Colby’s early spring wedding at the beautiful Gedney Farm in the Berkshires was a family-centered, DIY affair. For this wedding I just did the personal flowers, meaning those that the couple and their wedding party held personally, as well as a larger arrangement for the stairwell, and the family created the rest of the designs, including the ceremony piece, using buckets of flowers they got from me a few days before the wedding. You can read more about DIY weddings here. Frannie comes from a farming family in eastern Massachusetts, and it was important to them to have local, seasonal blooms, and since it was early spring, that…

Springtime wedding in the Berkshires: Eisner Camp, Great Barrington
Amira and Nathan’s wedding at URJ Eiener Camp at Great Barrington was long-awaited! My 2nd to last reschedule of the covid years, it was so wonderful to see all their friends and family convene on the spacious and historical grounds of this Berkshire summer camp. A few notes: Photos (except noted) taken by Danielle of Salty Raven Studio. Location: UJR Eisner Camp, Great Barrington, MA. Planner: Aligned Events Flowers: me! The couple’s flowers were largely in shades of light purples, and almost entirely farm-grown and seasonal. Lavender was a special request of the bride, so I put it in everything – the bouquet, the boutonniere, and even in plant form…

Spring Blooms in the Berkshires: a glorious wedding at Race Brook Lodge
Apparently the only way to get from where I live, Northampton, to Sheffield, is “the back way.” The roads were curvy, bendy, and forked, but the day was gorgeous! New England spring was on full display: the perfect backdrop for Jessica and Chris’s family and friend-filled wedding on the grounds of Race Brook Lodge. A side note for all of the couples reading my blog posts and considering me for flowering your wedding: every single event I’ve done this year that’s been outside has had PERFECT weather. Including one where there was a hail warning – the hail skipped right over us. I’m good luck, obviously. Anyway, back to Jessica…
