Heather and Sean’s Love Story- The Grandview, Poughkeepsie, NY

Heather and her Mom, Bonnie, met with me one very chilly winter evening to plan Heather and Sean’s upcoming summer nuptials.What a great time I had getting to know these two lovely ladies! Bonnie spent so much time lovingly creating so many details of her daughter’s wedding. As a Home Economics teacher, she really knew her stuff!

Heather knew she wanted a deep pink and white color scheme, punctuated with glamorous accents such as feathers and bling throughout her big day. However the most important design element was the use of quotes the she and her family had collected. Originally they had planned to have large signs with a different quote on each table for reception centerpieces. Unfortunately they soon realized that this plan would not work out because the signs were going to be too large. Luckily Heather’s Mom came to the rescue and was able to get all of the quotes printed on vellum paper, which she made into beautiful candles. My team and I then got to work creating the most beautiful and fragrant floral wreaths around each one.

Heather’s bouquet consisted of beautiful and fragrant Stargazer Lilies (which I thought were perfect for a 4th of July wedding because they remind me of firecrackers!). Other details in the bouquet included rhinestone pin accents on all of the Roses, pink Sweet Peas, Freesia, white Stock Flower, Waxflower, feather accents, and a hand sewn bouquet wrap made by Heather’s sweet Mom. The bridesmaids carried lovely posies of all white Roses and Waxflower with grass loops. Boutonnieres were simple and chic white Roses paired with Waxflower. Sean’s boutonniere was upgraded with a satin ribbon wrap.

All of the additional decor was created by Bonnie, including the beautiful Baby’s Breath bundles (from our by the bunch collection) wrapped in tulle, and beautiful sweetheart table garland just to name a few of the designs she made. What a delightful family this was to work with! I just smiled when I received all of the beautiful photos in my email, what a beautiful couple and beautiful day it was! Congratulations Heather and Sean, we wish you all the very best as you continue writing your own love story!

Cheers!
