Fall Photo Shoot at The Lord Thompson Manor

We did a rather fun photo shoot for La Bella Bride Magazine this past Fall. We hope you enjoy looking at these photos! All the pictures were taken by Jocelyn Filley Photography. www.filleyphotography.com

We used a lot of locally grown garden flowers including Dahlias, Plume Coxcomb, Choleus Leaves, Hot Orange Roses and Green Hanging Amaranth.

We also used a lot of garden flowers in this white and green bouquet including White Hydrangea, Rex Bagonia leaves, Green Queen Anne's Lace, Sunflower Buds and Bitter sweet berries.

We really like using a lot of textures when we get a chance to. I think it really puts a nice twist on the classic white bouquet.

For the table we made Chocolate brown and Cream kissing balls which we tied to the chairs with Chocolate ribbon.

A close up of the table centerpiece. We used all Chocolate and Cream colored flowers with a criss cross Cream ribbon wrap on the vases.

Each place setting had a Dahlia placed on the napkins.

These next two photos are an overview of the table centerpiece.

Thanks to La Bella for including us in your photo shoot!!

Angela and Ken's Boston Harvard Club Wedding

Angela and Ken got married in Boston, Ma at the Boston Harvard Club. We had to arrive early in able to set everything up it was a lot!

The bouquets were delivered in a large tin. We used vibrant colors of pinks and burgundy. We tried to use a lot of garden flowers including Coxcomb, A variety of Roses, Dahlias, Orchids and Choc. Cosmos. I put a collar of Burgundy Kale around the base which looked really cool.

Angela's Bouquet was the same color as the girls but slightly larger and we put Callas in hers.

The Boys all had Callas with a touch of coxcomb and a spindle with burgundy ribbon. Angela ordered them specially for the Boutonnieres.

This is a nice picture of the Bridesmaids and the bouquets.

The reception looked so pretty I have included a lot of pictures of the centerpieces but even these photos don't do it justice.

The sweet heart table was decorated with votives and petals and Angela laid her bouquet on the table.

The table all lit up during the reception and the mantle behind it. The Photographer for Angela's wedding was Rob Brown and he did a great job! All the photo's above were taken by Rob. www.brownphotographic.com

The pictures below are a few we took after we set everything up. The wedding was large and we wanted to make sure we captured everything we could.

This arrangement was made with Burgundy Amaranth Stalks and then we inserted Hot pink and Burgundy Feathers into the arrangement which was in an antique brass trumpet vase. It looked amazing in that room!

Just another close up of the Feathers and the cool records that were used as the name cards for the seating arrangement.

An overview of the room before all the guests arrived! All the tall tables were arranged on an antiqued pedestals of various sizes to give even more dimension.

One of the Shorter Centerpieces in the rustic urn.

Another Tall centerpiece with cascading amaranth.

The mantles were arranged with hanging Amaranth, Hydrangeas, Coxcomb, and a few roses. We put candles around in groupings and it looked really pretty later that evening because the room is so dark.

Thanks Angela and Ken for working with us! We really enjoyed doing this wedding.

Kathleen and Davids Wedding

A small September wedding in the Berkshires with citrus tones.

We did a Green Celedon ribbon wrap on the vases and used a lot of votives wrapped in citrus toned fabric. We used Roses, Coxcomb, Dahlias, Hydrangeas and Zinneas. Linens were rented from Mahawie Tent rentals in Great Barrington, Ma.

Some of the tables had two smaller arrangements and larger votive holders.

The napkins were a slightly darker Green color which complimented the greenery in the arrangements.

All the tables were slightly different but still in the same color palette.

The Bouquets were very simple using Roses, Berries, Hydrangeas and Dahlias.

We put Potted Tree Hydrangeas with Lanterns around the entryways to give a summery feel.

The alter piece arrangements came out really lovely. We used Local Garden Green Branches and Tardiva Hydrangea, Amaranth, Large Garden Dahlias and a few Orange Spray Roses. The rustic urns really went well with these arrangements.

The photographer was Sandra Iriarte sl4flwrs@hotmail.com who also arranged most of the Flowers too!!

Congrats Kathleen and David!!
