Nestled in the Pocantico Hills, New York, the former Rockefeller Barn is now the home of the Blue Hill Restaurant….a fabulous location for a wedding. Guests gathered in the courtyard under blue skies to witness the marriage, held under a dramatic archway covered with white spirea. The Bridal bouquet featured white Dutchess d”Amour peonies….created European- style with half of the peonies (the ones in the center) still in bud form (just about to open). The surrounding peonies were just beginning to open. The Bridesmaids’ Bouquet included green hydrangeas imported from Holland with white ranunculus and blue grape hyacinths (which perfectly matched the color of the dresses). All of the centerpieces were green and white (hydrangeas, freesia, ranunculus and phlox) arranged in very special baskets , handmade from small branches. With a mixture of both round and rectangular tables….the presentation was extraordinary….Very sophisticated country look.

Both the Ceremony and the Reception were held at the Greenwich Country Club. A beautiful Arch covered with masses of hydrangeas and roses was the focal point of the Ceremony. The Bride carried a bouquet of white roses and mini cal la lilies as did he r Bridesmaids ’ who wore magenta dresses. The flower girl was a happy member of the Bridal Party. She knew just how to please the guests. When the guests entered the ballroom they stepped into a room of romance featuring dramatic, tall centerpieces with hundreds of roses, Hawaiian dendrobium orchids and hydrangeas, sitting atop classic silver candelabras.

Loretta Stagen Floral Designs recently created special bridal designs for a wedding reception held at the Torrington Country Club. The guests were greeted by a large dramatic arrangement of Casa Blanca lilies, Hawaiian dendrobium orchids, roses and snapdragons. At the base of the classic grey urn were little pink boxes (filled with chocolates) labeled with guest’s names and table numbers. They matched the pink roses and snapdragons in the arrangement. The Bride’ dream was to carry just white phaleonopsis orchids. She loved her custom created bouquet and to make it extra special the stems of her bouquet were wrapped with a piece of lace from her mother’s veil. The Bride loves turquoise and so…the Bridesmaids’ dresses and the tablecloths/napkins were all her favorite color. The flowers she selected: green hydranges and shades of pink roses.
