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,…

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…

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…

Sweet summer pastels at Valley View Farm in Haydenville
A beautiful day, beautiful location, and a beautiful couple! Christina and Cameron were married at the peak of summer at Valley View Farm, in Haydenville, one of my favorite locations to flower! They wanted lots of colors – which I love – and lots of variety – which I also love – and as many locally grown blooms as possible – LOVE! All photos of this wedding were captured by Matthew Cavanaugh Photography. Christina’s bouquet featured the very first of my dahlias, plus lisianthus, snapdragons, delphinium, celosia, and a few roses and eucalyptus thrown in for good measure. We built this custom hexagonal arch for the two of them –…

Summer Sunset Colors for a Romantic Valley View Wedding!
When Dana told me she wanted her wedding flowers to be the colors of a pale summer sunset, I knew exactly what she meant. At the peak of summer, days in New England are long, just the right amount of warm, and perfect. And summer sunsets give way to summer nights! (Cue up Summer Lovin’, Grease soundtrack). Tell me more… Pale summer sunset. Yellows, pale pinks, peaches…a perfect color scheme to match what’s growing on the farm mid summer! Plus a few sunflowers, because: sunflowers! All photos by Kelsey and Liam, Ke-Li Photography. Location: Valley View Farm
