We had the pleasure of providing the floral decor for Nan and Jim’s wedding day in Boston. Nan carried a bouquet of mango calla lilies and burgundy hypericum berries tied with a satin ribbon to match. Her maid of honor held a slightly smaller bouquet of callas and the super cute flower girl had a small posy to match her new aunt’s bridal bouquet. Jim and his best man sported simple calla boutonnieres with berry accents and a black satin ribbon wrap. Following the early afternoon ceremony at St. Brigid’s Parish in South Boston, guests were treated to a boat cruise around Boston harbor while the Cityside Suites at the State Room were readied for their reception.
Nan and Jim have a great sense of style and took a fresh and modern approach to the classic fall look. The celebration began with a cocktail hour where guests enjoyed passed hors d'oeuvres and drinks as well as a stunning view of the dusky skyline. The room featured both low tables with seating and high-tops. Each low table featured spiraled vibrant orange mokara orchids atop polished river stones and a dusting of bloom scatter on the tabletop. The high-tops glowed with a trio of votives surrounded by the colorful orchid blooms.
As the cocktail hour came to a close, a partition wall gave way to the waiting dining room. Guests enjoyed a tasty meal as well as the stunning view of the glowing Boston skyline from 33 floors up.
Nan and Jim wanted to infuse a touch of rustic elegance into their dining design so we integrated natural branches into five tall arrangements held aloft in tall clear cylinders weighted by a bed of river stones. Each arrangement was surrounded by orange orchid blooms and flickering votives.
The remaining five dining tables featured a trio of clear glass cylinders of graduating height filled with the orange mokara orchids. River stones once again served as a base and blooms and votives completed the tablescape.
I was lucky enough to attend the event as a guest and the entire evening was such a beautiful celebration of this couple. It was such a pleasure to add to the already stunning ambiance of the State Room’s accommodations.
Congratulations again to the happy couple!
