I'm skipping ahead with this wedding, but I recently received the pictures from their photographer, Heather Brincko of
HPB Photo, and I just couldn't wait to post. Her pictures are fantastic! To see more of the wedding, you can
visit her blog. I thought the flowers for this wedding turned out amazing and the bride was super happy with them as well. Her bouquet is definitely in my top five favorites.
Melissa and Basil currently live in NYC and so after our initial consultation, we communicated through email. At the consultation, she described to me what she had in mind, and it just clicked. I knew exactly what she was talking about. She wanted soft pastel shades of slate blue and purple with a touch of celadon green and a natural, slightly wild look to the flowers. She specifically asked for hydrangea and lavender (since the favors were to be small lavender satchels), but left the rest of the flower choices up to me. When she showed me a picture of her dress, which helped inspire the bouquet, I was so excited to see it in person. It did not disappoint!

The wedding took place at the
Oswego Hills Vineyard and Winery. I thought this venue was so beautiful and serene and to top it off, the weather was absolutely perfect. Here are a few shots of the stunning bride and groom.

The Groom's Bout
For the ceremony, large mason jars were hung from the aisle-way chairs along with lavender and white rose petals down the side of the aisle. The backdrop of the white barn couldn't have been more perfect.
The reception tables had a combo of three mason jars (two small and one large that was moved from the ceremony) along with votive candles. Her tables were named after airports that she and Basil had been to. Such a cute idea. The sun setting in the backdrop brings out the beauty of the flowers even more. It reminds me of a watercolor painting.
Thank you Melissa and Basil for letting me be a part of your day! I hope your life is filled with love and happiness! Congratulations!
