Turn of the century-themed wedding at Wisteriahurst
Jessica and Mike wanted a turn of the century themed wedding, and what better location than Wisteriahurst, the historic mansion and cultural center in Holyoke. After the ceremony they and their guests traveled to the Roosevelt Room at Union Station in Northampton – more of the turn-of-the-century theme as it’s the great hall of the railway station in Northampton, built right before 1900. Locations: Ceremony: Wisteriahurst, Holyoke; Reception: Roosevelt Room, Union Station, Northampton Photos by Brian Marsh Photography

Traditional meets Artsy Chic = Gorgeous pastels at the Curtis House in Ashfield
Meghan wanted all blushes, whites and creams…but she’s also an art designer, has one or two tattoos, and her hair makes me think of a unicorn (not to mention their wedding hashtag was #megbreaksben – courtesy of her fun and personal instagram feed!), so I knew that while a traditional color scheme was in order to go with her beyond-gorgeous lace dress, I could add a creative touch here and there to add a little extra style to these romantic flowers, starting with the bride’s bouquet. Location: Gloriosa & Co. at The Curtis House, Ashfield, October. Photography: most by Tim Mackay Design (unless otherwise noted.)

Inspiration: a mustard wedding dress! Summer wedding flowers at Quonquont Farm
“I want it to be a surprise. My dress is going to be mustard.” Glorious words to a florist! I love a white or cream or ivory wedding gown, of course – they’re classic, gorgeous, traditional – but mustard! Mustard is different. It’s a hue a color-loving flower farmer can get inspired by! Location: Quonquont Farm, Whately, Massachusetts, Late July. Photography: Kim Lindler, Time Bandit Photography. Jesse and Dave had me do the personal flowers for their wedding, including bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, a hairpiece and a floral necklace, as well as a garland for their chuppah, and friends and family created most of the reception centerpieces using buckets of flowers…
