ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

We just can't wait till SPRING!!!

It won't be long till we'll be working again with that can't-be-beat, gorgeous, fragrant, textural, delicate, luscious gift that are the flowers of spring!

This unique, casually elegant wedding showcases the best of the season.

Scented geranium enhanced the already heady fragrance of our Stoneblossom bouquets. We slipped in a few purple mokara orchids. The color was perfect.

Bridesmaids' bouquets were all unique.

This charming soiree took place at the historic Smith Abbleby House and Museum, a colonial RI gem built in 1696. We loved the rough-around the edges colonial look!

Wedding This Way!

Luminarias accented the New England stone walls. Magical after dark!

Angelic glamour against the rough-hewn backdrop!

Tulip and scented geranium boutonniere.

If only those fluffy peonies were available year round!!!

This shot on the little dock by the pond says it all....

Placecards set into wheatgrass with Olde English calligraphy

Classical music the perfect enhancement to the casual setting. Bass against Barn...

The Stoneblossom creative team was totally inspired by the venue and Bride's vision. Some creative chainsaw details:

The informality of Ball Jars overflowing with peonies, spirea and viburnum

And they were the perfect vessel for hanging votives in the tent and trees all around. 

The final memorable detail - hand-carved twiggy pencils in a bushel basket!

Hot Summer Color at the New York Yacht Club!

Harbor Court is the summer digs of the New York Yacht Club and a fabulous venue it is! The grand Manor House is set atop a steep hill with the most amazing panoramic view of Newport Harbor and the Bridge.

This festive tented wedding was full of great detail and surprises at every turn!
Following the waterside ceremony we kicked things right into high gear with this decadent lounge area. Our color story of hot pink, orange and apple green begins here!

Bronze elephants with fez-capped monkeys and green cymbidium orchids were just one of the many cocktail table accents. The green wire-trimmed votives were a great match.

Plush custom seating with matching pillows made for the most popular seats in the house!

What's better than a pair of lovey-dovey love birds chirping in the lounge. Surprises like these are what makes events unforgettable!

Hanging votives and topiaries outside the entrance.

A peaked century tent is basically a huge white room. We always encourage clients not to be afraid of colorful linen. Imagine how drab this glama tent would be with all white tablecloths! Each round cloth takes an average of 8 yards of fabric. With 20 tables that's 160 yards of delicious color....

Check out the sexy two-toned color of the custom iridescent taffeta linens we made:

Love this shot. Our low glass compote bowls were chock full of pink and orange roses with green cymbidiums and sweet potato vine leaves for pop. Tent poles were softened with white gathered fabric for a finished look.

Unique container shapes and square glass votives provided variety.

Our flowers dappled with late afternoon sunlight... You can see just how close to the water the tent is staged - with Newport Bridge beyond. It's just as magical after dark!

A quick shower left us with a very special backdrop and amazing sunset.
