Natalie WOW-ed not only us, but everyone around her in the Public Gardens as she posed for her photographs! This wedding had a fun, vibrantly colorful and eclectic feeling that was created by Natalie’s artistic design background. This wedding was inspired by Natalie’s English heritage, her love of all things Medieval and from the rich tones of old hardcover library books, specifically a Penguin cover of the Great Gatsby and the books that sit shelved on the bookcases of the Hampshire House library, where the ceremony and reception were held. Natalie’s Liv Harris dress was made from silk organza with a ruched bodice and dropped waistline with floral origami detailing on the front. Many bystanders stopped to inquire about Natalie’s headpiece, which was a 1940′s off-white flower fastener made from feathers and accented with rhinestones and a birdcage veil.
The silhouettes of the bridesmaid dresses ranged from a strapless bubble, to a classic chiffon A-line, to a floral origami-topped retro A-line in rich jewel toned shades of emerald, raspberry, marigold, plum and pewter with pop color shoes. Each bridesmaid wore a vintage floral headband, some flirting feathers in bold retro styles. The flower girl wore a full circle tulle skirt with a deep teal ribbon on the waistband (the bride’s “something blue”). Andrew and his brother and nephews rocked black Converse high tops, and the bride was seen sporting large white sunglasses and carrying a sequined Union Jack clutch!
Many bystanders noticed this couple. Cars honked their horns as we walked back to the Hampshire House and crossed Beacon Street, with tourists hanging out of duck boats and trolleys to see this beautiful, stylish bride.
All the rich, intense, vibrant jewel tones of this fun and eclectic wedding party were pulled together by Cedar Grove Gardens‘ inspired bouquets and arrangements with generous stems of Cymbidium orchids, dahlias, dusty miller, Celosia, blue hydrangea, black-eyed Susan, ageratum, Ranunculus and ornamental grasses. The complexity and intensity of tones and depth of color of these creations enhanced and complimented the already artfully orchestrated palette of this event.
