Jolie and Giovanni | Four Season's Weddings | Old Hollywood Inspiration
As the New Year starts out, I have begun to get a sense of peace and excitement about the creative projects that I will be lucky enough to work on as the year progresses. Of course, my team and I will be swirling around the best hotels in New England making pretty happen as we plan and design weddings. One of my favorite hotels, The Four Season's Boston will be the backdrop to a magnificent affair and wedding of my bride Jolie. She comes from a family that knows good things and understands quality and the process of couture. When Jolie first called me and hired me to plan and design her wedding, thoughts of Ginger Rogers swirled around in my head. I love Old Hollywood as an inspiration to a wedding. Black and white is always a crisp and stunning backdrop to the pops of red and embellishments of gold that will make up the design elements. As a special and unexpected touch, we will lay a wonderful black and white dance floor that nods to the old school looks that you might have found in the Stork Club in NYC during the 20's and 30's.
There are so many details to this wedding that there will be a second sketch showing the ceremony and the wonderful chuppah that we will create. Until then, enjoy this wonderful display of Old Hollywood Style with pops of red and gold.
Congratulations Jolie and Giovanni on your engagement. I am excited and grateful to be working with you both.
New Year's Eve Wedding at The Four Seasons Boston
OMG here we go again......I am thrilled beyond belief to be working again with the nicest family on the east coast, The Hearn Family. Sarah, one of their two stunning daughters has chosen to be married this New Year's at The oh so swank Four Seasons in Boston. The hotel holds a fond place in my heart as my Kevin and I spent many get away nights there when we first dating and I still had the expense account of a banker. Those days are gone but the romance is still there none the less.
New Year's eve has so many magical details to it anyway, what better night to go over the top, to have guests dressed to the nines to sip champagne and to bask in the romantic glow of a beautiful Grace Kelley bride and her oh so handsome groom. I have planned the floral and decor details to the wedding to be soft and chic, per the bride. I will be using phaleonopsis orchids, gardenia, branches with crystal and candles and lots and lots of candles. This will all be set on a gorgeous dupioni silk pin tucked table cloth. Our transport shuttles will be providing guests transportation from the hotel to the Church in Wellesley and I get to personally photograph the event......too exciting.
Of course, New Year's day will bring a story and many amazing photos for us to share. I can hardly wait.
Strawberry Fall Blush
I am excited to be working with the Hearn family on their daughter Laura's fall wedding to be held at Boston's Marriott Copley Plaza Hotel. Laura right off the bat reminded me of Anne of Green Gables with her strawberry blond hair and radiant old world beauty. She has chosen to wear an incredible lace embroidered gown in ivory and will be surrounded by pale flowers in shades of ivory and chartreuse with just a touch of pale apricot. I am excited to be working in a multi style capacity on this wedding, from the wedding florist, I will quickly change hats and cover the wedding with my photo journalistic style and floral inspired perspective. I am sure the joy that has been felt in the Hean Household will show through on the wedding day. I can hardly wait to get her flowers under way.
After the last dance is danced we will get under way with the planning for yes, another Hearn daughter who has chosen to be married on New Year's Eve at the oh so elegant Four Season's Hotel. Stay tuned for her evening in Paris inspired wedding.
