Jennie and Ryan 8-6-11

I had the pleasure of designing one of my past employees and good friend Jennie's wedding this past August. It was at a private residence in North Kingstown, in the back yard under a tent. Ceremony, cocktails and reception all in one location (my favorite), made for a stress free, comfortable and all around fabulous night. Jennie designed the entire affair herself, from the seed packets wrapped in raffia for favors to the mason jar with candles hung from shepards hooks lining the entrance.
Jennie's bouquet is made up of garden roses, ranunculus, hydrangea, astilbe, freesia, cymbidium orchids and lisianthus.

I just love this picture! All photos by Matt francis

Mason jar arrangements hung off shepards hooks lined the aisle.

A piece of an old wooden fence held the escort cards. Great idea!
The flowers were designed with a organic garden feel. Fever few, mint, broom corn, dusty miller, garden roses, phlox, hydrangea. Mason jar for the vase of course ;)

As the owner of Love of Plants, a plant care/design and installation company, Jennie loves all things green and we wanted to design the flowers to reflect her work and personality.
An amazing night for an amazing couple! Love you guys!

Peonies

After what seems like an eternity of time that peonies have been out of season, we have some GORGEOUS stems in the store right now. They're just the right kind of warmth the soul needs when the weather starts getting colder and the days are so short.

Check out the photo below.. it has the same beautiful peonies that we have in the store right now.

Rachel and Stefan - Providence Art Club

The wedding of Rachel and Stefan, in July, was held at the very chic Providence Art Club. The Tuscan style seating of this venue created an ultra classy look, featuring a mix of arrangements in glass and silver mint julep cups. Every floral detail of this green and white wedding looked fabulous!! (The amazing photos are courtesy of Stacey Doyle Photography)

Jennifer and Dave - Belle Mer Bliss

We just got these photos in from the August 12th wedding of Jennifer and Dave, and we have to share. Everything about this event was gorgeous, including the couple, the flowers, the venue, and the photographs. The setting was Belle Mer on Goat Island in Newport, on an amazing summer day. Check out the pics from Zenobia Photography Studios.

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
