Cambridge Mill, enhanced with vibrant pops of color

Let’s begin with the ceremony. The couple desired a Chuppah that could accommodate a grand Jewish ceremony, complete with a voluminous wedding gown. We envisioned an open Chuppah design, allowing guests to bask in the breathtaking view. To add a touch of enchantment, delicate rose petals adorned the surroundings, creating an atmosphere of pure beauty. Additionally, fresh flower accents were strategically placed at the focal points of the Chuppah, further enhancing its allure.

Moving on to the reception, the venue’s inherent charm was already awe-inspiring. However, we sought to elevate the ambiance by incorporating pillar candles on elegant gold stands, adding a touch of sophistication. Nestled between each candle, exquisite posy flower arrangements graced the tables, boasting seven stems of vibrant florals. These arrangements served as the much-desired pop of color that the bride had envisioned. Furthermore, we meticulously arranged all of the couple’s additional decor and finishing touches, ensuring every detail was flawlessly executed. The lobby and cocktail area were also meticulously accessorized, creating a seamless and captivating transition for guests.

Let us not overlook the bridal flowers, for they were a true labor of love. We dedicated ourselves to curating a harmonious blend of colors, resulting in a bouquet that was both stunning and unique. It was a rare delight to incorporate cymbidium orchids, infusing the arrangement with an exquisite touch. To our delight, we discovered a tulip that perfectly complemented the overall aesthetic, adding an element of surprise and excitement.

In summary, our experience at the Cambridge Mill was nothing short of extraordinary. From the meticulously designed Chuppah to the captivating reception decor and the exquisite bridal flowers, every aspect was thoughtfully crafted to create a truly unforgettable event.

The Black and White Trend is Making a Comeback!

The Black and White Trend is Making a Comeback! But is it really a trend???? Approximately a decade ago, we witnessed a surge of black and white weddings, followed by a few scattered throughout the years. Now, we find ourselves immersed in this timeless theme once more. In fact, this month alone, we have had the pleasure of organizing two stunning black and white weddings, and I must admit, I am absolutely smitten all over again.

The first wedding took place in the exquisite Grand Ballroom at White Oaks. We were delighted to enhance the ambiance with a stunning backdrop and luxurious linens for the head table.

We were honoured to collaborate with an incredible team of vendors who contributed to making this day truly unforgettable:

We are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to unveil the second black and white wedding in the weeks to come.

All Inclusive Wedding Experience

This was our first all-inclusive wedding experience of 2023, providing all of the decor and flowers for both the ceremony and reception. For the ceremony, we adorned the pews with elegant blush roses, delicate delphinium, and subtle touches of light greenery. The altar arrangements, placed on pillars, were brimming with beautiful florals and a hint of verdant foliage. Additionally, we created a stunning arbor adorned in a profusion of flowers and soft white draping. Inside the reception space, a captivating focal wall draped in sheer white fabric created an enchanting ambiance.

The head table and cake table were adorned with striking dark gold sequin tablecloths, adding a captivating pop of color. Once the bridal party entered the reception, their bouquets were elegantly placed in water-filled vases on the head table, complemented by candles, rose petals, and a touch of delicate greenery. After the ceremony, the altar arrangements were moved behind the head table, creating a breathtaking focal point behind the newlyweds. The pew markers, now repurposed, were seamlessly incorporated into the centerpieces. These centerpieces featured pristine white and light blue hydrangeas, with blush roses adding a delightful dash of color. Finally, the arbor was transformed into a whimsical photobooth outside, providing a delightful space for guests to capture cherished memories.

The bridal flowers had a soft look which including blush roses and light blue delphiniums, white roses and a few detail flowers to create that final look. A full wall backdrop and chair covers were also added to create the elegant wedding feel.

Basic Head Table VS. Upgraded Head Table


The head table is an important element of any wedding reception, and it should definitely not be neglected. It’s the focal point of the entire room, and as such, it should showcase the couple and their love story in a beautiful and memorable way. 

While basic linens are a good starting point, there are many other things you can do to make the head table stand out but the most important is adding an overlay, sequin, velvet or draped linen.

Ultimately, the goal is to create a head table that is not only beautiful but also meaningful and memorable for the couple and their guests. With a little creativity and attention to detail, you can create a stunning head table that truly reflects the couple’s style and personality.

 Here are some photos of standard head tables to give you an idea of what your venue may offer (this will vary depending on the venue). And if you’re looking for something a little more elevated, we also have some great photos of upgraded head table options that might catch your eye.

This is a basic head tables from venues:

Celia and David’s wedding was a truly elegant affair!

One of the standout features of the wedding was the ceiling draping, Edison lights and greenery on the lanterns, which transformed the reception space into a breathtakingly beautiful setting. The soft, billowing fabric created a sense of intimacy and intimacy that perfectly complemented the more formal touches of the evening.

Guests were greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with soft lighting and delicate accents. The table settings were equally stunning, with simple yet elegant floral arrangements and understated decor that allowed the beauty of the venue to shine through.

Overall, Celia and David’s wedding was a true testament to the timeless beauty of classic elegance. From the ceiling draping to the smallest details, every element was thoughtfully curated to create a truly unforgettable experience for all who attended.

Paper Flower Heaven


The ice storm weekend was very interesting!!! We had gorgeous fresh hydrangeas and roses with paper flowers; hundreds of paper flowers. The brides mom hand crafted them all.

This was our very first backdrop and decor setup with no power. It’s a good thing cellphones have flash lights!!!!

The bride alternated tables with different linens and centerpieces which I love, when done well. Our gold candelabras vs. flowers and champagne satin table cloths vs. ivory lace overlays.

A simple ivory backdrop to cover some doors and a head table to match the rest of the decor. Not to mention a key piece, ivory satin pillowcase chair covers.

The bouquets and boutonnieres also had paper flowers with roses.

Congrats to this amazing couple!

Shades and shades of purple throughout the large tall, fresh flower centerpieces.  The height of these beauties create such depth and drama.

Bridal bouquet to match, with a few more delicate pieces for a little softer look to go with the fabulous sparkle of a wedding dress.

A ceremony backdrop, streamlined black chair covers and a gold sequin table cloth are making this indoor ceremony feel rich and complete.

A large fancy style, ivory reception backdrop and more sequins make the focal point of the room dramatic and the main stage.

We provided white satin pillowcase style chair covers, gold sequin runners with a navy blue sash down the center and gold sequin table cloths for the head table and let’s not forget the gold chargers!!!!

It’s beautiful when a look really comes together.
