The Different Styles

When brides meet with us they often ask us what our style is.  We always answer, "whatever you want it to be!"  

That's just it though.  We create flowers based upon the style and theme that each bride has for their day.  We create organic/natural designs with branches and berries, but we also do very traditional designs using the classic stephanotis flower and pearls.  I guess if we had to choose just one type of design that we love the most we'd have to say modern/sleek with a touch of romance.  Below are some weddings that we've done that are nothing but totally different!!  We love the fact that they are all created by us but look nothing alike. 



This wedding was at Brooksby Farm in Peabody MA.  There's the barn where the dinner reception was held.  And this is the centerpiece that we created for the dinner tables.  A sheet of moss with blue hydrangea, blue delphinium, green apples and a touch of fiddlehead fern shoots!



Talk about different!  This wedding was held in the ballroom of the Fairmont Copley.  It was a room changeover, meaning that the ceremony and the dinner were held in the same room.  Here we did large white stone containers filled with red antiqued hydrangea and red jamestori orchids and an arch created by hand-curved curly willow branches that we sprayed gold.  My favorite part was the red black magic rose petals lining the aisle and the floating candles alongside.



This wedding was at the State Room in Boston.  The centerpiece was very sleek with the submerged orchid look in deep magenta and eggplant.  Here's a little twist on the classic votive.  We cut calla lily heads and wrapped them around the votive for a little wow-factor during the cocktail reception!  ;)



Here are a few of the different bouquets we have created in the past few months.  It's always hard to get good shots of the bouquets since we are always trying to take the pictures before we drop them off to the bridal party! 

Check back again soon for more updates and thanks for stopping by!

Fino's First Blog: 2009 Season "Wrap-up"

Alas, we are joining the rest of society and entering the "blogging" world. We are looking forward to updating you all with new photos of our work and talking about some cool stuff that we are doing in the wedding floral world.

2009 was another great year of weddings and wonderful brides!  We enjoyed working at some of our more common venues; the State Room in Boston and the Fairmont Copley but had the pleasure of working at some new places, such as the Cohasset Golf Club, Misselwood at Endicott College, and the Tupor Manor to name a few.

Attached are a few photos to start you off with!  We hope you enjoy them and check back soon for more photos and updates.
