A Bride & Blossom Wedding on Carats & Cake

Carats & Cake featured the picture perfect wedding of my dear friends Aaron and Lindsay. What could be better than designing wedding flowers for a couple I introduced?

Castle Hotel & Spa, one of Westchester’s poshest venues, was the perfect setting for the outdoor ceremony under a fairytale floral arch and a glamorous reception surrounded by high and low centerpieces and arrangements in shades of purple. The romantic bridal bouquet was composed of rare Mentha roses from South Africa, in the most delicate shade of lavender. I loved Lindsay’s taste and vision so much that we hired her as Bride & Blosssom’s new Creative Director!

With Me All the While: a Wedding at The Brownstone

by Rachel Trimarco

Jennifer Oratio and Michael Kainatsky met online three years ago, but as fate would have it, their paths had crossed many times. Although they both lived in New York City when they met, they grew up a mere five minutes from one another, in neighboring towns of Ramsey and Mahwah, New Jersey. They hung with the same circle of friends and even attended the same prom, but never formally met until more than a decade later. A marathon first date led to a long-lasting connection. They became engaged a year and a half later, and married another year after that. Their special and unbreakable bond is irrefutable.

The Perfect Affair at Battery Gardens

by Elianna Phelps

Esther and James were married in the Spring at Battery Gardens in the historic Battery Park. In case you did not know, “Battery Park is a 25-acre public park located at the Battery, the southern tip of Manhattan Island in New York City, facing New York Harbor.” (Wikipedia) Loved this beautiful location and designing the perfect arrangements for this affair!

The bouquets featured coral peonies, and were central to the design. This beautiful flower has limited seasonal availability making it a very special choice. When coupled with the peach garden roses and white-toned flowers, the peonies really pop from these color complements. I was inspired by this couple’s sophisticated arrangement choice, and thought their look went perfectly with the awe-inspiring venue. So much health and happiness to Esther and James!

Picture this:

[…] over 4,000 square feet of unique indoor and outdoor meeting, event, and private dining space in Manhattan. State-of-the-art audio-visual equipment and turn-key event planning services are available, along with specially-catered menus by Chef Daniel Humm.

This is the NoMad Hotel in NYC. Never heard of it? Take it from us, it is a beautiful place to celebrate your special day. First of all, we love it for its versatility. As NoMad describes its Johnston Room and Rooftop Space:

The Johnston Room, with its outdoor terrace overlooking the Atrium, provides a versatile, spacious canvas able to be utilized for a variety of events and meetings. The 1550-square foot space (1100 indoor / 450 outdoor), can accommodate a myriad of settings–from a board meeting to a cocktail party. The Johnston Room is a fresh alternative to the conference rooms traditionally found in Manhattan.
