Danielle & Nick ~ Carltun Long Island Wedding

Floral Design Workshop ~ A Spring Centerpiece
Spring happens to be one of our favorite flower seasons so Mike and I thought it would be the perfect time to host our very first floral design workshop. We welcomed 11 women into our Cold Spring Harbor boutique and it turned out to be an incredibly beautiful day....
Kristen + James ~ Kontokosta Winery Wedding
From the beginning Kristen mentioned she really loved peach tones (which I immediately became super excited about - more peach weddings please!). From there we balanced the vibrancy of the peach with soft shades of cream, champagne, and blush. We used fluffy peonies...

Ashley + Terence ~ Oheka Castle Wedding

"Don't use a lot where a little will do" ~ Proverb Simplicity has set the tone for my inspiration these past few months - feeling a sense of peace and appreciation when things are less complicated. Whether its through fashion, interior design, relationships I have, my...
Mallory + Travis ~ Seawanhaka Yacht Club Wedding
