Eventi Hotel, NYC July 12th


Yes, that is the answer to your question.  If you saw my post below, and that my daughter was born on June 28th, and this wedding was July 12th...and your question being "Is she crazy?!", the answer is yes.  I booked this wedding (before I was pregnant) through a wonderful wedding planner, whom I've worked with before,  Christina Whitehurst and here is a link to her site.

The couple was from Norway and getting married at the Norwegian Seaman's Church in NYC.   Since it was a smaller event I figured, of course I can handle it.  And with the help of my husband, and my moby wrap (this crazy long piece of fabric that you origami around yourself and stuff the baby in...sounds terrible, but babies love it!) it went off without a hitch.

The bride and groom brought their photographer with them from Norway...I love this cute and quirky shot she took of them.


And for the flowers

Bridal Bouquet:  White hydrangea, patience garden rose, white lysianthus.




Boutonnieres:  We were going to do the garden roses, but with the heat I made a back up of white calla, which are sturdier, and what they decided to go with.



Centerpieces:  In the brides words "overflowing" with white hydrangea, on the table were 20 votive candles that were to be laid out on the table in an unorganized manner.  I'm hoping the Norwegian photographer got a shot of these all set up.





I do have an event in early August, but it's only bouquets....so I am getting a little break..and July is always a slow month for me.  Probably because no one wants to be wearing a wedding dress in this heat, and everyone is enjoying the start of the summer.  Starting August 25th though it will be go, go, go, with a wedding almost every weekend until November 17th.









Welcome Olivia Lucille Reynolds

Little LiLu arrived on June 28th, so understandably my world has stopped...sigh...sorry flowers, right now nothing can compete with the beauty of my new little girl.  I'm slowly coming out of the fog that is first few weeks of mommy-hood (she'll be 3 weeks old on Friday!).  I want to thank all the brides I am working with in the Fall for your un-ending patience and understanding as I've been a bit of a turtle on checking and answering my emails....what can I say, I'm in love.


I started today catching up on everything, so don't worry girls, I'll be responding to you soon!
