I am just home from the most fabulous party hosted by my besties at Person and Killian. We have worked together on amazing weddings over the years, they are the very best, world class. Tonight was not about photos, although we did have a good time hamming it up with life sized cut outs of the gals, tonight was about celebrating. I was honored not only to do the flowers, but to be a guest at this elite, chic, metro- cool soiree.
Jill and Lauren chose to work with Amy Kimball, formerly of Raffanelli Events on the details of the party and I was asked to "make pretty" with my flowers. I knew from the very get go that this space, a huge loft in Boston's south end, would be perfect for something that I have been craving to do for a long time, a floor installation. In our planning, Amy and I both knew that that Person and Killian's signature red should pop with bright bunches of fresh flowers arranged in sleek black vases. I had no idea that that the floor arrangment would garner such attention. With the petals of 500 roses forming a perfect circle around a clustered arrangment that was rimmed in candles, this first impression set the tone for the evening.
I got to mingle and mix and have a great time with my friends within the Boston wedding arena as we all nibbled amazing food from Max Catering. I just have to give a shout out to Dana Leaventon at The Taj Hotel. I had a blast getting to know the gal behind the voice on the phone, sharing laughs and chatting about our pals Lauren and Jill and just how amazing they are. Dana we will work together soon, I promise......I look forward to having our lunch starting promptly at noon, very soon...wink, wink.
Lauren and Jill I want to thank you both first for being my friend, you have no idea how much I love you both. Second I want to thank you for having me at your party tonight. I am nibbling, ok gorging myself on candy from the candy bar as I write this. I am also in tears as I realize how very lucky I am to have you both in my personal and professional life. Thank you.
