It’s now the time of year when I’m wrapping up wedding season, summer days have gone by and I’ve started to embrace that cozy late autumn (and even Christmas!!) mindset.  My flipflops have been traded for tall boots and my t-shirts have all been tucked away.  At the same time, I’m chatting with brides who are gleefully planning next years weddings and I have to revert back to that springtime frame of mind.  I’m starting to look for inspiration but my world – craft and decor stores, wedding blogs, Pinterest – is filled with autumn foliage and donuts (not that I mind a good donut!)

So I’m going to pretend that I’m posting this pretty spring day in hopes of inspiring one of next May’s lucky brides.  If nothing else, I’m always happy to reminisce about foxglove and peonies.

Tina and Chris were married at Witt’s Inn in Lowell.  It was my first time visiting this charming little barn and beautiful gardens.  It’s rustic and what one might picture when they think of a barn wedding, until you look up.  Chandeliers.  Beautiful rows of chandeliers.  That sparkle goes straight to a girl’s heart.

Speaking of a girl after my own heart, Tina hired me to take charge of her floral decor and dropped off 65 mismatched gold, brass and copper vessels for me to fill with blooms of my choice – just somewhere in the blush, pink or coral color story.  It was so much fun sorting through each vessel, finding the perfect table mates and making each arrangement completely unique.

So I filled my floral buckets with tulips, roses, ranunculus, lilies, foxglove, peonies, clematis and wild honeysuckle.  I foraged a few greens and added some delicate silk ribbons.  The way they paired with the soft blush underlay of Tina’s dress was perfection.   And everywhere you looked, there was a different bloom, a different arrangement and the prettiest all greenery bridesmaids bouquets.

Dear Tina and Chris, I hope you two have loved your first season together and have many more full of happiness to come.
