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.

Galas & Benefits
Fifty years of pink & green.
an anniversary in bloom
Half a century deserves more than centerpieces. For the anniversary gala we dressed the step-and-repeat, the ballroom floor, and every table in the sorority’s colors — florals doing the toasting before anyone raised a glass.

Hospitality · FIFA World Cup 2026
The world came to Foxborough.
a starting lineup of stems
When the World Cup opened its hospitality suites at Gillette, the flowers were ours. Orchids over the fifty-yard line, cymbidiums under the crest, an arrangement on every table — matchday, dressed properly.
Gillette Stadium for a night, a JPMorgan favor table, the Red Cross heroes breakfast, one mannequin over the Prudential doors. Corporate doesn’t have to mean quiet — give us the lobby and we’ll give people a reason to look up.

Details & Brands
Zoom all the way in.
the details do the talking
Gold flatware, stemware in golden hour, a single rose in a bud vase — the last five percent is the part guests remember. Brands know it too: for LOEWE we styled heirloom tomatoes like jewelry, because a room should smell like the brand.
One commission: a lounge wrapped floor-to-ceiling in green — velvet, fern, brass, and a full tree grown indoors for a single weekend. Proof that when a client says “go all the way,” we bring a ladder.
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.

We were invited to take part in a gorgeous style shoot made up of BIPOC vendors from across New England, set in picturesque Vermont. Every moment was intentionally planned by Ehmann Events — she and her team did an amazing job — with a major shout-out to our fellow vendor partners and the beautiful models. We had the most fun.

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.

On a seemingly normal Wednesday, Kettianne called about a wedding — for that Saturday, three days away. A moment of panic, then we soldiered up. After a quick conversation about color (she wanted burgundy; her mom wanted pink), a plan came together.
We added a few personal touches — nameplates for every guest and the flower crown she’d specially requested — and the day went beautifully. Burgundy and pink both made it in, and the crown was our favorite piece of all. The cherry on top: her happy tears as she walked into the reception. We still wonder what we could have done with a whole week.
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.

The Endicott Estate in Dedham hosted this beautiful ten-year vow renewal for Melissa and Marc. It was a pleasure helping the couple design their evening — and even navigate a venue change along the way. Everything worked out better than anticipated, especially with their guests telling us what a wonderful time they’d had.

A friend from high school asked us to help plan a birthday dinner for her (aging-backwards) mom. Emerald green was the one request; the rest was up to us. The backyard ran long and narrow, so we went with a single sweeping tablescape.
Ms. Faith personifies grace and class, and that’s exactly what the table set out to show. Happy birthday, Ms. Faith — here’s to sixty and fabulous.

We had such a pleasure planning this wedding shower for the gorgeous bride-to-be, Nephtalie. She wanted pops of color without sacrificing style or elegance. Our only challenge was the setting — a public park with built-in benches — which we folded into the design flawlessly.
Five weeks later, a passing hurricane threatened the day. The palette — pink, orange and yellow — brought all the sunshine we needed, and the party never saw a single rain cloud. Thank-you notes doubled as plate inserts, a small personal touch on every setting.

We were delighted to help plan baby Alhana’s christening reception, working closely with her mom Vanessa — whose chic, simple style has always blended naturally with ours. The direction was light: blush, pink and white, with one rule — not too much pink.
Blush found its way into the flatware and napkins, pink into the arrangements, and because it was a christening we built a floral cross that doubled perfectly as the photo backdrop. God bless Alhana.

Let us tell you about the Shorters. This couple gently nudged us into the events world: back when Yanique was a marketing assistant throwing kids’ events, the Shorters were always there with their toddler. When Mr. Shorter turned thirty, Mrs. Shorter asked for help with the party — “If you can plan parties for kids, you can plan parties for adults.” Challenge accepted, and years of celebrations for this family followed. Our first legacy clients.
For their fifth wedding anniversary, Mr. Shorter planned a surprise date night on the beach for his wife and gave us complete creative direction. Mustard yellow and black set the mood. Cheers to the Shorters — love y’all for real.

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.
