Unconventional Wedding Venues

Just had to share this great picture (by Damien Gaudet) from one of our weddings this past September. The reception was held at The Boston Museum of Science in their outdoor tent. The bridal party had free reign of the museum for photos. This one's the best by far!
So ladies, think outside the box for your reception site. There's a lot more out there besides country clubs and mansions ;)

Bouquet Loveliness

Studio 539 Flowers is so excited to have a bouquet on the cover of Newport Wedding Magazine for 2012!! We were delighted to learn that one of our brides, Natalie, was being featured.
The mainly yellow bouquet was jazzed up with yellow roses, craspedia, white calla lillies, white hydrangea, lisianthus, and a tiny pop of green in hypericum berry. His boutonniere featured a starfish with green accent.

Make sure to stop in the store (starting in November) and check out the whole magazine feature, or purchase your own copy on a newsstand. The pictures in the magazine are by the amazing Michelle Carpenter Photography!

While we have been extremely busy with weddings, store arrangements, and deliveries, we wanted to give you a peak at some of the bouquets that have been keeping our flower designing hands occupied.

The next pic is a broach bouquet made by Christina. It was pretty labor intensive, but sooo worth it. The bouquet (photographed by Studio Nouveau out of Boston) was constructed from broaches collected by the bride.


The next three bouquets are a sampling of texture used in a variety of ways.

This yellow bouquet was soft, yet funky. The solidago added a linear garden feel, while the craspedia and yellow button mums gave a round, modern look. The hypericum berry and lady's mantle added a complimenting green touch, and a light yellow stock brought it all together.


Check out this very textural, elegant white bouquet that combines so many fabulous flowers. Without leaving any out, this bouquet is made of: lysimachia, star of Bethlehem, ornithogalum, stock, calla lilly, lisianthus, freesia, tulip, kale, and a touch of hypericum berry. I'm not sure about you, but I am definitely in love with this one!


The softness and femininity of the bouquet above is breathtaking! With greens, creams, and a soft pink/peach, this bouquet would warm the heart of anyone. It's interesting how so many of the same flowers used in different ways can create such varying looks.

And since pairing a bouquet with the perfect boutonniere is so important.. we wanted to give you a peak at a fabulous shot from Rebecca Hansen Weddings. How awesome is the color of those gerbera daisies?!

Now that I've shared a view of just a few of the fabulous flower creations that have been keeping us so busy, I need to get back to work. - Michelle
