Nina & Matt - The Garrison Wedding

Nina & Matt were married this past fall at The Garrison in the Hudson Valley. As you can see they had a breathtaking view - with the Hudson River Valley as the backdrop for their ceremony. When combined with this magnificent arch The Garrison provides and these flowing arrangements on wooden pedestals - beautiful.

White and antique hydrangea arrangements accented with russet, hanging and upright amaranthus and after dark agonis in white antique urns on top of pedestals. btw - my partner, Mr. Splendid Stems (aka-John), customer made these pedestals for this wedding.

  Cocktail Hour - Simple and pretty

 I love this card table arrangement

This wedding had two styles of centerpieces. Here is Style 1 - a natural free form arrangement designed in a pedestal dish. Included antique hydrangeas, burgundy snap dragons, after dark agonis, and more. So wonderful.

Style 2 were tall arrangements filled with branches and hanging votives - but since they would be in all their glory when the candles were lit, I will wait until I get the evening photos from the professional photographer, Carmen Santorelli (one of my favs).

I guess you can consider this blog entry a place holder - as all of the above are my personal pictures. Unfortunately (and at the same time fortunately) John and I were too busy hustling in order to get all the wedding details finished to perfection to take the detailed pictures we usually like to have.

...However, with that said, I did get my hands on one of Carmen's pictures of the bouquet:

...I will post again when I get my hands on the rest of Carmen's images! 

Nina and Matt had a wonderful day and I wish them all the happiness in their future together!
