Weddings
The vows.
four hundred decisions, one aisle
A wedding is four hundred decisions and one aisle. We hand-tie the bouquets the morning of, build the ballroom the night before, and stay until the last candle is lit — so by the time the doors open, the only thing left to do is say yes.

Corporate · Galas & Benefits
The Emerald Suite.
two fourteen-foot trees, one long night
Galas, benefits, expos and the corporate calendar — the rooms where Boston gathers. For BECMA’s Mass Black Expo we grew two fourteen-foot trees indoors under emerald drapes; for UNCF the ballroom went gold; the MSPCA, JPMorgan and the Red Cross each got a room that looked like them. Give us the lobby and we will fill it.

Hospitality · FIFA World Cup · Martha’s Vineyard · LPGA Tour
Suites, tents & tee times.
hospitality, wherever it lands
When the World Cup opened its hospitality suites at Gillette, the flowers were ours — orchids over the fifty-yard line, an arrangement on every table. On Martha’s Vineyard we dressed BLCK VC’s giving salon and their summer soirée in island blues and deep reds. And when the LPGA Tour comes to town, the clubhouse gets the same treatment. Matchday, tee time or sunset — dressed.
Creating the floral vision for Debbie and Roger was an absolute joy. The couple honored their heritage with a family-style meal — which meant the tables had real work to do.
Our answer: sleek, slender stands lifting low arrangements onto elevated platforms, so the shared dishes had all the room they needed and the florals still got to shine above them. Green and white, classic and unbothered.

We had the honor of designing for Laura and Chet alongside Laura’s brother Patrick and her mom Debra — a collaboration that felt seamless from the first call. Patrick and Debra surprised Laura with the gorgeous arch, fixed perfectly against the oceanfront.
A vendor team this good makes a wedding feel easy; this one worked together like they’d done it a hundred times.

Nyree was the sweetest bride to work with, and OceanCliff is one of our favorite venues anywhere — ceremony and reception each with their own sweep of ocean. We dressed the existing arch in florals and carried the palette through to the reception, letting Newport do the rest.

A stunning winter wedding that turned the volume up — vibrant jewel tones at the elegant Sapphire Estate–Avenir in Walpole. Deep color in the cold months is a statement we’ll always stand behind.

Melissa and Julian were such a joy to work with. Their summer wedding at Lakeview Pavilion was filled with color and gorgeous rentals. The Hendersons sent us a few inspiration photos, then gave us creative control and really trusted our advice on all things wedding décor.
A fabulous group of freelancers helped bring the day together.

Roger Williams Botanical Garden is a beautiful place for a ceremony and reception, with several indoor and outdoor spaces to choose from. Our May wedding there was filled with florals to support the couple’s vision for their guests’ experience: an outdoor ceremony with a gorgeous gold arch and pillars of oversized florals flanking the aisle.
The reception carried several styles of centerpiece — to keep guests guessing and entertained as they moved through the room — and the cake was dressed in blooms to tie it all together.

Carlene and Jorge chose the gorgeous Lyman Estate in Waltham for their wedding — the ceremony on the lawn, the reception indoors. We loved how Voltaire Luxe styled the day with wood and gold accents that complemented the chandeliers and gilded features of the room.
The florals were a pleasure to design: the colors were beautiful, and Carlene trusted our expertise from start to finish.

A ceremony on the water’s edge — white floral pillars at the altar, calla lilies for a bridal party in olive, and a reception that glowed gold long after the sun went down.
Golden hour did what golden hour does, but the flowers were ready for it: hand-tied callas, garden whites, and an altar built to frame a lake.

A New England coastal wedding with a bouquet worth writing home about — burgundy roses, blush peonies and white phalaenopsis, built for a bride in lace against the seagrass.
Arch florals in wine and cream, boutonnières to match, and the kind of light you only get by the water in the late afternoon.

For the tenth annual Wonder Ball — the Boston Children’s Museum’s signature fundraiser — the brief was pure fairy tale. A Cinderella-inspired evening called for enchantment you could touch, so we wove carriages and glass slippers through the florals themselves, from grand, oversized arrangements down to the smallest bud vase on the table.
Every piece was built to hold the room’s magic while the night did what it does best: raise support for a place that gives Boston’s kids their sense of wonder.

For the Massachusetts Black Lawyers Association’s annual gala, the room asked for warmth with a spine — arched backdrops framed in peach and apricot florals, bud vases of garden roses and stock down every table, and candlelight doing the rest.
An evening built to honor scholarship and legacy deserves flowers that feel like both: classic bones, glowing color, nothing stiff.

Technicolor was the brief and technicolor was the build — a floral runner of peonies, roses and alliums along the stage, disco-ball centerpieces, and silver balloons holding the whole room up.
A benefit for the animals should feel joyful, and this one did — loud florals for a loud cause, and every stem in service of the MSPCA’s work.

A ballroom washed in gold and yellow for the United Negro College Fund — towering centerpieces on gold stands, sunlit table settings, and a palette chosen to feel like optimism.
Rooms that raise scholarship money should look like the future they’re funding. This one glowed.

Under the visionary leadership of event designer Ieasha James of Endless Flair, a hand-picked team brought her concept to life for BECMA’s Mass Black Expo at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center — and we had the honor of putting flowers to the vision.
Two fourteen-foot trees. Multiple large-scale installations. A build that asked for every pair of hands we had — one of the most challenging, and most rewarding, corporate events we’ve been part of to date.
