The Riverview: Wedding Flowers by Earth Blossoms and photography by Studio 1923

Once again The Riverview was the reception location for another one of our June 2010 brides.



The bride carried a bouquet of ivory roses, stephanotis , mini calla lillies and hydrangea
The ceremony took place at St. Mary's Church in Simsbury, followed by the reception at The Riverview. Lovely June weather and pretty Farmington Valley area scenery only enhanced the gorgeous flowers we put together!
The bridesmaids wore eggplant color gowns and carried vibrant flowers in greens and purple shades

The Bride, her Maids of Honor, Bridesmaids, Jr bridesmaids, Flower girl and Miniature bride!

Our beautiful pedestal centerpieces contained curly willow, eggplant dendrobium  orchids, green hydrangea and were fabulously highlighted by the purple uplighting at the venue!
The appetizer table was enhanced with a tree made from eggplant color dendrobium orchids, curly willow branches and crystals.

Finally the cake was decorated with a simple but lush cluster of ivory vendela roses with a touch of gold sparkle.
Our thanks again to Studio 1923 & Dorothy and Bryan for the photos!

Wedding Flowers at The Riverview in Simsbury, CT

Victoria Souza Photography
In June we were fortunate to have designed the wedding flowers for a lovely couple at The Riverview. The bride chose a progression of shades of orchids and roses from white to deep pink for her bouquet.

The ceremony was held outside under the tented area at 
The Riverview. 
We designed simple ceremony flowers comprised of pink and green mini cymbidium orchids attached to curly willow branches.










Flowers for the bridesmaids bouquets consisted of green hydrangea, green cymbidium orchids and two shades of pink roses. The two adorable flower girls tossed pink and coral rose petals down the aisle.
















On some of the tables in the reception room we placed tall pedestal towers with gorgeous clusters of pink and green hydrangea, coral and pink peonies, pink garden roses and standard pink roses accented with a few tear drop crystals.

On other tables we used tall clear glass vases with stems of either pink or green cymbidium orchid sprays.



It was a standout wedding with a beautiful couple and beautiful flowers!
        












Much thanks to Chaquira and Rafael, as well as, Erik and Victoria for the use of these sensational photos!

Red Weddings

Red roses and stephanotis with pearl centers





RED has been a very popular 

color for weddings in 2010. 
Here are some photos from 
various weddings we did 
throughout the year.


Three shades of red roses were used to make the bouquet for this bride on May 21, 2010 whose wedding was at The Society Room. 


The flower girl's pomander was made from red spray roses.

Webb Barn Wedding

October 3, 2010
A cool morning greeted us on this first weekend in October in Old Wethersfield at the Webb Barn.


The ceremony was set outside on the lawn next to this beautiful garden.














As much as I would like to take credit for the design of this stunning bouquet it goes to Lisa at Cupid's Florist in San Diego, CA for the original design. 
 Lisa's bouquet was larger and had green cymbidium orchids
around the edge as well.











In my version of the bouquet I used eggplant mini calla lilies, lavender roses and stephanotis with swarovski crystals in the centers. 








The two flower girls carried pomanders made from lavender spray roses and green hydrangea with a loop of clear purple crystals added.



Back at the flower shop the centerpieces are 
prepped for their final destination.




The centerpieces were a simplistic design comprised of birch branches, lavender roses in a glass cube with an eggplant ribbon tied around it.




They were placed on the tables in the rustic barn and their individual lights were turned on to add a little glow at each table.










As guests entered the barn they were greeted by a trio of floral replicas of the couples pets who could not be with them on this special day.
