Fresh June Blooms in Newport
During the beginning of June in 2023, team Stoneblossom traveled to Newport to celebrate the spring-inspired celebration of A+T’s marriage. We worked closely with the couple and the fabulous Ashlie Fastino of Infinite Events to curate the light & fresh palette of June blooms and whimsical, spilling greenery. This wedding had multiple design components that were unique to the couple, and created a memorable and lasting impression for the guests. The celebration took place at the historic Ochre Court situated along the famous Cliff Walk, which is a staple of the Salve Regina campus. The Chateau-esque manor and surrounding grounds were the perfect host to the sailcloth tent where the reception took place.
After a romantic ceremony at St. Mary’s Church, A+T and their guests made their way to the reception, where they were welcomed with curtains of cascading tulips. The hand-strung tulips delicately draped behind the head-table, and created an awe-inspiring focal point within the space. Across the tent, another show-stopping floral installation adorned the band stage, creating the illusion of creamy clouds of blooms at heaven’s gate. This ethereal and whimsical design moment was composed of spilling hydrangea, baby's breath clouds, & pops of layered roses which set the scene for two dancing cherubs to celebrate the newlyweds.
Amongst the drapes of tulips and dancing cherubs, the tables were designed with darling mono-botanical arrangements in cut crystal vessels and collections of candlelight to cast a warm glow throughout the space. Monochromatic blossoms of white peonies, tweedia, sweet pea, ranunculus, and other textured varietals stole the show in the floral-forward design. Varied heights of taper and pillar candles added depth and dimension across the tablescape, while adding to the overall romantic ambiance of the room. The bright and organic feel in the tent set the stage for an evening of whimsy and celebration, as A+T began their life together as man & wife surrounded by loved ones.
When clients come to us with visions of grandeur, it allows us to break the mold of traditional wedding florals, which allows our designers to truly shine. We love to conceptualize and execute out-of-the-box arrangements and installations for our clients, and are always excited to help bring floral dreams to life. It was an absolute pleasure to take this creative journey with A+T, and we wish them many years of happiness as they take on life together.
