Event Spotlight: Barn Wedding on the North Fork of LI

1:51 PM

Two divisions of Event Kings; Weddings by Event Kings and Kings Lily Floral, had the opportunity to plan and design a wedding at a Christmas Tree Farm in Southold, NY. Wedding planner Christine Dirr and floral designer Jessica Ciardullo are always excited for unusual wedding locations that allow the bride and grooms personalities to really shine through. Dart's Christmas Tree farm offered just that, with its rustic barn and large, lush green field to hold an upscale tent, it captured the couples casual but elegant style. 

 The cocktail hour was held in and around the vintage barn complete with an authentic red tractor as added decor.

The tent was stunning among the cleared out field that was surrounded by Christmas trees. The stained wood poles and clear sides added warmth and sophistication to the affair. 

The floral design was made of textured greens and accenting white floral along the custom built farm tables. Candles in various shapes and sizes were placed throughout to make the evening glow!

 Silver dollar eucalyptus, seeded greens, lemon leaf and ruscus accented the white floral and hearty succulents for all the bouquets.

What farm wedding is not complete without a tractor ride?

Flower Friday! A Beautiful Backyard Wedding

12:12 PM


Most couples really touch my heart but this wedding was so amazing for me because the bride gave me complete creative freedom. When I would run something by her she would respond; "If you like it I know I will!" The wedding was at their fabulous home with the most manicured grounds I have ever scene. It made a perfect backdrop for the elegant but laid back vibe of the wedding.

The flowers were purples, whites and greens in mason jars and eclectic vintage glasses. The blooms are roses, stock, wax flower and football mums. 

The bride's bouquet was made entirely of calla lilies which are her favorite flower. I made the groom's boutonniere a calla as well. 




 The wedding arch was covered with curly willow and had hanging mason jars int he center filled with flowers.

 Two large pieces on pedestals marked the beginning of the aisle.




 Although I didn't make the desserts I had to show them due to their out of this world deliciousness! The catering Sterling Affair was perfect. These cake pops still haunt my dreams!

The distressed wedding sign courtesy of my husband was a great way to greet guests. Much better than the usual Valet Parking sign.
