the boston globe said it perfectly in the headlines below... blown away, which at the time seemed more like snow won't go away :o)  i'm sharing a beautifully classic winter wedding les fleurs andover wedding florist designed arrangements for last february.  our amazing friend leah haydock photography shot this gorgeous couple's snowy day and shared the great pic's with us!!

boston harbor hotel was the perfect back drop for elizabeth & aj's february wedding.  bridesmaids in classic black evening gowns, red lips and nails stunned with simple white peony and white anemone bouquets.

in the wine cellar long tables were filled with glowing pillar candles in moss bedded glass vases accented by lush arrangements.  each table sat a series of candles grouped together and arrangements.  (**k's tip: it's important to think about the style of event you are hosting as well as the feel you want to create.)  our designer, sandra was creating an evening that was fun, casual (not backyard casual however) with the emphasis on food and family.  they wanted guests to feel as if they could be dining in their home... these arrangements were neither stuffy or boring.  a lot of seasonal textures like bittersweet berries, oak leaves, pheasant feather and artichokes were so cool for the "man" side of the night, but the simplicity of the fall tones roses and rich warmth from the candles created the intimate vibe they were looking for.

low profile, faux slate vessels were used to design the table arrangements in.  keeping the container short allowed for maximum conversation, this is great on dining tables for holidays or gatherings... les fleurs has some great containers for this style. 

vance kitira pillar candles in 2 different sizes in burnt sienna looked great to add warmth and color to the table scapes.  at our andover flower shop we carry a variety of vance kitira natural bees wax candles, pillars and tapers.
