i first meet our featured blushing bride, crystal with her mom, deb and grandmother, dottie and i was in love with them all!  always excited for les fleurs to design flowers for weddings at the crane estate this was just as exciting and a bit more involved.  we worked closely together for the next 10 months on chairs, linens, arrangements and design for crystal and adam's august nuptials.  bridesmaid's wore eggplant dresses that were beautifully accented by monochromatic purple bouquets of hydrangea, roses and lisianthis... we continued the purple into the reception under the tent.  with some help from boston uplights (who is amazing!) crystal's favorite color set the tone for the evening.

it's wedding season!!  we have been designing away around the shop and thought we'd share a few photo's...

lilac & coral 

peach & white

ruby, tangerine & chartreuse

we'll continue to update with images taken by the amazing photographer's from weddings during the season!!  until then, my iphone with instagrams with be our visual artistry :o)

these DOUBLE petit blooms are super sweet!  and their fragrance is amazing! better than any perfume... the whole shop had the sweetest scent of lilac all day today.

for our second "flower" of the day... anemone

anemone's have made them selves known in the wedding industry as the "it" flower this past year!  though there available season is limited they seem to pop up in everything!  most commonly seen in white with their rich black center makes them a stand out for black & white wedding decor.  other colors we see them in, white with green center, red with black center, light and dark purple with black center and fuchsia with black center... all of which are super cool!

hmmm... i can't wait to find out what next week's flower of the day will be!!

les fleurs

not every client's idea for their wedding day involves roses dripping from tall crystal candelabras or even traditional floral centerpieces.  for each couple it's the details that help to makes their wedding day, a day all their own.  for many of us (vendors), we work out of similar venue's over time and never do they look the same.  each couple brings such a sense of style and personality with them on their wedding day, that we as designer's help implement into their dream wedding day decor.  wedding planners and coordinators are an amazing source of inspiration and help couples with the direction they visualize.  we enjoy couples with a less conventional idea of their wedding flowers, it challenges us and keeps us on our toes.  

our late october couple you'll see below wed at the barn at gibbet hill in groton, massachusttes and was not looking for a traditional centerpieces... or use of flowers for that matter.  a simple, but very pretty mix of dried french lavender and wheat were used to make sheath's and accent in bouquets and boutonniere's.  enjoy! 

to create the wreaths around the lantern's, julie (one of our talented team members) spent hours carefully combining the dried elements. hand gathering them into bunches and wiring them into wreaths she made...  and let me just say there wasn't a small number of them.  this was one of the messiest centerpiece creations ever, well worth it in the end as our couple was over the moon for everything... let's just say it was "a labor of lavender love" :o)
