Earth Blossoms Flowers-Weddings in CT from the hills to the shoreline

Earth Blossoms Flowers -Our May CT Weddings from the hills to the shoreline

May 2013

This month has started with some fabulous weddings.

May 4^th- weather wise an incredibly sunny, gorgeous day with flowers blooming everywhere. 

We started the first weekend with two very lovely brides with the same wedding date and many similarities. Elaine’s wedding was in a quaint little country church in the hills of Northwestern CT and a rustic venue –the historic part of Belle Terrace in Avon (formerly Avon Old Farms Inn).

For her bouquet she chose the luscious Juliet garden rose, ivory peonies, ivory garden roses, ivory sweet peas and a bit of green to tie into her pastel green bridesmaids dresses.

Her attendants carried a similar bouquet. They were gorgeous. My photographs are not the greatest so I am really waiting to see what her photographer, Bryan Avigne, has come up with. 

Here are a few of my photos of the bouquets and table centerpieces.

Emilie’s wedding was in St Mary’s Church in New London, CT –a monumental, historic structure. 

For the aisle we used peach and cream flowers, ribbons w/ lanterns lighting the way.

For her bouquet she also chose the Juliet garden roses, ivory peonies, etc and her bridesmaids wearing a

Marine teal carried similar bouquets to hers. 

Again, I am awaiting the photographs from the fabulous

Jennifer Braga of Studio 1923.

The following Saturday May 11, we had Kate’s wedding that was very different from the first two. It was in red and white and at The Simsbury Inn.

The bride carried a stunning bouquet of all red roses w/ a scattering of crystals and her attendants carried mostly white hydrangea w/ a touch of red roses in them. I am sure these looked gorgeous against their red dresses.

It was a rainy day but they were able to use the lobby of The Simsbury Inn for their ceremony. It was in front of the fireplace and was just perfectly cozy and romantic.

The reception centerpieces were done in all white with towering pedestals of glass with white hydrangea on top and a submerged stem of white orchids below on alternating tables. The other centerpieces were made up of white orchids submerged in water in three graduated cylinders with floating candles on top. The tables were accented with red napkins. It looked stunning.

Unfortunately, I only was able to snap one iphone photo as I was on my way out. Once again I am relying on the photographer for some beautiful shots.

To finish out the month of May we have eight more weddings so I will continue this Blog with a part 2 at the end of the month. Stay tuned we have some really unique weddings coming up!
