Late summer/early fall of last year, we had the opportunity to work on a beautiful wedding with Tasha Bracken of SD Events. Tasha and her team planned a weekend that started with a wonderful rehearsal dinner at a family home in Manchester-by-the-Sea. They dealt gracefully with some less than perfect weather.

The next day brought stunning blue skies and joy to the happy couple and their families. The bride prepped at the Seaport Hotel while the groom got ready at a family home in Cambridge. The couple wed at the Harvard Memorial Church and celebrated with a reception at the Boston ICA. I thought it would be fun to share a few images showcasing the fabulous details from this New England and art-inspired wedding.

First the church florals (all by Honey of Lotus Designs). Here, her designs incorporate warm fresh hues of yellow, oranges, bright greens, and whites.

To get the guests from the church to the museum, what could be more Boston than a Duck Tour?

When the guests arrived, they were greeted by the view of the Boston Harbor.

Colors for cocktail hour were deep purples and blues.

The Wolfgang Puck team always ready with a smile!

For the dinner reception, Honey looked to shift the color palette. Here fuschia orchids, reds, greens, and blues made a contemporary statement for the modern space of the Barbara Lee theater.

When you take a step back, you can see how cool the space was with all of the floral sculptures floating from above.

Note the table cards, a tribute to museums around the world.

A special gift for the guest at each table setting.

Downstairs to the lobby for dessert and dancing.

One final floral look… all shades of purple. Red linens were brought in to offset these arrangements.
