A Home Hill wedding • September 2011

On a beautiful fall weekend, at the gorgeous Home Hill Inn in sleepy Plainfield NH, some really lovely people tied the knot. The horses were playful, the sun was brilliant, there was not an ounce of humidity, and man...the flowers were pretty.



...I'm totally obsessed with this lace from the 30's. It's as soft and delicate as you can get. 
um, really. 
I could have talked to those two ponies for hours...but I'm pretty sure all the really cared about was if they were going to get apples or not. 
note to self: red garden roses=magic

Kristen & Chris 9.3.11

Wow...totally dropped the ball. I was feeling so good about myself blogging on the regular, and then...well life caught up to me. We've been so busy with all the fall weddings going on. The next two months are shaping up to be very busy, but will provide me with TONS to blog about. (Lets just hope I actually find the energy/brain power to do so)...

 SO, its not a secret that I'm not a huge fan of summer. I really enjoy when the weather snaps and suddenly all the beautiful berries, grasses and cones show make themselves known. I love that crap. But, what does one do when they're getting married the first weekend of september and they want to use fall colors? Because, really it's not fall yet...in fact there are 20 something more days of summer. Kristen and I had a heart to heart and decided it was best if we combined the last summer hues of yellows, grass greens and washed out peaches with the beginning of fall rusty orange, burgundy and browns. Personally, I fell in love. TOTALLY right up my alley...but I might be one of the only people you'll ever meet you counts peach as one of their favorite colors. Now I will bore you with pictures.

COME ON!!!!! That dahlia alone should make you weak in the knees

...and now for my favorite detail shots, it was hard to pick as I think I took about 47,980.

There were even delightful little boutonnieres and corsages for those not able to hold AMAZING bouquets (as you can tell...I was a little fond of these)

We also decorated an arch, which was super sunflowery -they are one of Kristen's favorite after all.

The table were also decorated with simple little nuggets of awesome.

All in all...this one might be hard to beat. BUT...coming right around the bend we might have a strong contender...think succulents, red garden roses and chocolate cosmos. MmmmmHmmmm thats right. 

Danielle & Matt 8.20.11

Danielle and Matt's wedding brought me back to the city where I learned everything about flowers...Boston. I was happy to go back and set something up in one of the giant venues I was so used to working in during my past life...but man I was even happier to come home. The Liberty Hotel is amazing...it was once a HUGE city jail, now fashioned into a very swanky boutique hotel. Check out the site, the moving home page gets me every time. Danielle really wanted a soft, romantic, southern vibe to contrast against all the black in the hotel. If I do say so myself...I think we pulled it off pretty well.





The chairs and wallpaper in this joint couldn't have matched everything better if I had designed the space myself. All be it a really tricky space to photograph (hence the somewhat "special" pictures)...it was kind of perfect!

(damn you sky-light from the right for washing out my pictures!)

The reception was held on the third floor catwalk over looking the lobby...check out this view from one of the tables...dont get to down on the photo quality, it was taken with an iphone. Don't hate.



The table were dressed with flowers and vintage mis-matched candle sticks. Basically there was a centerpiece in front of every person, not too shabby if you ask me.







All in all our visit back down to the big bad city was a success...and I got to eat BBQ and wander the city at night. Pretty awesome if you ask me. I think Matt and Danielle would concur.
