Hilltop Ceremony in Morris

There is nothing quite like a long meandering path through tall grass to reveal the big moment. This wedding ceremony at a private residence in Morris, CT was set-up atop a hill at the end of this path, complete with 180 degree views of the Litchfield Hills. The shepherd hooks with hanging pails and summer flowers we used help add weight and define the path for guests to follow. Fabulous! 

 I thought these sweet wooden fans were a lovely touch for a hot day.

Commence Wedding Season 2012!

Got to work with Sarah Taggart of aPp Christine + Mike's wedding in Litchfield this weekend. Lots of fun -- and what an amazing day. P-e-r-f-e-c-t weather! Loads of greens, whites and blues made this golf club wedding springy and fresh. We added a lovely vintage lace and blue satin detail on each of the glass vases that added just a the perfect touch of sweetness to the table arrangements.

The bridesmaid's bouquets were composed of a green + white tulip, grape hyacinth, white ranunculus, and hydrangea. Adorable and a great complement to their cobalt dresses.

Child's Play

This is an inadvertent floral arrangement created by my son and his friends (well, really his girlfriends created it!) at a child's birthday party. Never thought to integrate tortilla chips but how lovely is this? The colors are extraordinary. Composed of: hosta leaf, an assortment of spring petals, and tortilla chip!?

Pretty Pink & Green

Sweet spring arrangement for confirmation lunch at Mayflower Inn & Spa in Washington, CT.

SWND in New England Home Magazine

SWND was so happy to be included in this gorgeous Litchfield photo shoot elegantly captured by Michael Partenio for New England Home. I chose to incorporate subtle bursts of green to add a burst of freshness to the rooms but not take away from the beauty of the incredible interior. This unforgettable historic home is very lucky to have been found and masterfully decorated by current owner and art consultant Lauren Della Monica, LPDM Fine Art Consulting.

Trend Spotting ... Food Trucks at Weddings!

It is certainly not for everyone but I'm totally into the food truck idea for a casual outdoor wedding. I went to a wedding in Napa last May where they did it for a rehearsal dinner and it was fab and fun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di77-Ivb15E
