Modern Wedding at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center

Spring has been busy around here and we are well into wedding season and all of the work and beauty it brings!  I had a few fleeting moments to play catch up today week and Coleen and Colin’s May 11th wedding in Cambridge MA was up next in the blogging queue.

We used blooms in shades of purple, yellow and white for their modern Boston wedding.

The bridal bouquet was mostly white with touches of vibrant purple and yellow.  White stock, ranunculus and spray roses were mixed with dusty miller, purple tulips, status, asters, freesia and yellow billy balls.

The maids carried purple bouquets with pops of yellow to contrast against their dusty grey J.Crew dresses.

The Boston skyline was looking a little soggy, but luckily the drizzle let up for the ceremony and reception.

Cocktails were enjoyed in the gallery space.

Simple gerbers (the groom’s favorite) added a simple punch of color without taking away from the art installations.

 

What a beautiful venue!
