In what has been an incredibly wet year for weddings, we finally had a day when I didn’t have to keep checking my three weather apps throughout the day. It was a gorgeous September day at Blue Hill at Stone Barns for Carmen and Matt. We had to reschedule their wedding twice due to COVID-19, and everyone was so happy when the big day finally came. Both sets of parents spent many weeks in quarantine on their journey from China. Carmen and Matt were both such a pleasure to work with. They dealt with the pandemic challenges with compassion and grace. I think this bodes well for a long and happy marriage!

This lovely couple was supposed to have a big spring wedding at the Plaza Hotel. Due to COVID-19, they decided to have a much smaller outdoor wedding in their family backyard, and reschedule the bigger reception to 2022. I love that they decided to still get married on their original date and in a place that was so meaningful.

Like many other couples Laura and Keith had to reschedule and downsize their wedding due to COVID-19. We finally came together in June and had a safe and joyful celebration of their marriage at Blue Hill at Stone Barns! Every guest and vendor had to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to attend. Before the ceremony, Laura and Keith arrived early to take pictures around the beautiful grounds. They were so natural with each other that their photographer Kim from Brian Dorsey Studios said she hardly had to give them any direction! Clearly two people who were meant for each other.
Read moreBackyard Micro Wedding: Sarah and Nico
Sarah and Nico had planned for a big wedding the summer of 2020. Unfortunately COVID had other ideas, so we ended up moving their larger celebration to a later safer date. They still wanted to get married on their original date, so they decided to have the sweetest of micro weddings with only immediate family in her parents’ backyard. For safety both the ceremony and the dinner took place outdoors and they had 12 people in attendance. Poppies and Posies created a bright and joyous bouquet for Sarah with coral and peach garden roses, pink and orange dahlia, peach zinnia and blue nigella.
Read moreMicro Wedding in Connecticut
Alison and Aaron had to adjust their wedding plans due to COVID-19. Their original wedding date was October 3, 2020 and they were committed to getting married that day. Instead of the larger wedding we had original planned which simply was not possible due to state mandates on events, we moved to planning a micro wedding for 37 guests in her family backyard in Connecticut. I started working on this new plan with 8 weeks to go until the big day. There was a lot to do with hiring of new vendors and adjusting our needs with our current vendors.
Her parents have a beautiful home in Connecticut with gorgeous lawns at the front and back of the house. It made for such beautiful wedding pictures! After reviewing the many lovely options on where to place the events with the Greenwich Tent Company, we settled on keeping the festivities close to the back of the house.

Read moreBlue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding with Sunflowers
I have always been fond of sunshine yellow and was so happy to hear that this couple loved it too. For the dinner in the hayloft, Poppies and Posies used delicate yellow sunflowers woven throughout their arrangements of olive, geranium, zinnia, lisianthus, cosmos, dahlia and unripe raspberries. These were displayed in ceramic vases that complimented the beautiful china that Blue Hill at Stone Barns uses.

Linden and Jacob's Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding in the spring was so beautiful that it took forever for me to get this blog post together! I had such a hard time choosing pictures from Heather Waraksa, one of my very favourite photographers. The vendor team we collaborated with produced such exquisite work and Linden and her mom were a joy to work with. Blue Hill at Stone Barns is truly spectacular in June. Everything is so lush and green throughout the property.
Read moreA Brooklyn Wedding
J&C were married on the water at Liberty Warehouse in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The weather was not cooperating with us that day with a steady drizzle all morning. However it cleared up just in time for us to setup the the ceremony outdoors and for the portraits to happen outside. A million thanks to Poppies and Posies for making it happen outside with a tight setup time!

Here is Linden and Jacob’s video highlight from their Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding with McKenzie Miller Films! I absolutely loved their ceremony that took place under the cafe awning in the courtyard. The rain forecast wasn’t being very clear that day, so we pushed the decision as late as possible, and ended up setting up under the covered area in the courtyard. It worked nicely for their count of 110 guests and created a long aisle for Linden and Jacob. The ceremony florals growing up from the ground by Poppies and Posies actually looked even better against the brick wall of the restaurant than it might have done against the grand tree in the courtyard!
