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,…

Summer color, summer joy: a Gedney Farm wedding
Julia and Adam were not afraid of lots of colorful blooms for their late summer Gedney Farm wedding, and that was a good thing because September is peak flower season in New England! When people think of “fall flowers” I think they think of orange and red tones, but the reality is our fall flowers – especially dahlias – come in all tones! And since I plant about 50 different varieties of dahlias every year, there’s lots of color to choose from. The wedding location is Gedney Farm, in New Marlborough, Massachusetts, northern Berkshires. The photographer for this happy couple is Chelsea Proulx. Flowers by me! Julia’s instructions for me…

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…

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…

In springtime, love is in the air at Valley View Farm!
If you think pastels are the only choice for a spring wedding, Liz and Corey (and I) have a bone to pick with you! Spring weddings can be ALL the colors! That’s what Liz and Corey wanted, and that’s what they got. Hot pinks, corals, fuschias – and in amazing seasonal spring flowers to boot. All photos of this bright and beautiful wedding are by West on Jade. Location: Valley View Farm, Haydenville, MA. Flowers are by me, of course, and feature locally grown tulips, American-grown peonies, and other bright-bright springtime flowers! I like this close-up of Liz’s bouquet because it features some nice fat tulips, front and center. I…
