After the wedding at St. Mary Parish, all of the guests met at the Belle Haven Yacht Club to enjoy an evening of celebration. Photo by Mary Alice Fisher The all white Bridal bouquet included Polar Star roses, mini white calla lilies and white hydrangeas, all imported from Holland. The stems were wrapped with the lace matching the Bridal gown. The Bridesmaids’ bouquets featured blue hydrangeas and open white roses. Small Nantucket baskets filled with blue hydrangeas and white Majolica roses were carried by the two flower girls. The soft blue table linens complimented the lush centerpieces which were created in large Nantucket baskets. A beautiful outdoor setting, overlooking the Long Island Sound. A very special evening shared by the friends and relatives of two Greenwich families came to a close when the Bride and Groom stepped aboard the boat which took them to a destination unknown.

A very happy Bride and Groom continued onto The Boulders Inn in New Preston, Connecticut for the reception. Located on a knoll overlooking beautiful Lake Waramaug, The Boulders Inn is a fantasy venue for a wedding reception. Perfect location, excellent cuisine and fabulous flowers made the reception oh so special. The Bridal Bouquet featured Lily of the Valley (imported from Holland) and white sweet peas (flown in from California). The natural stems were wrapped with lace matching the Bridal gown. A very elegant bouquet. The soft colors of the centerpieces included white Majolica roses, scented white freesia and white phlox, light pink sweet peas and sky blue delphinium, created in square glass containers. A combination of round as well as rectangular tables, covered with pure white tablecloths, created a sophisticated look in this country setting. The weather was perfect…. cocktails were enjoyed outside during sunset…and dancing continued “under the stars”… Since all of the guests sta...

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.
