Nathaniel and Lindsay
Nathaniel and Lindsay met in a night club in the Boston area,
and both knew they were meant to be together from the very first date. It was practically
love at first sight. Their dream was to have a big cozy party for their summer wedding.
Family and friends came from far and wide including Florida, Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver,
and Nanaimo. At their rehearsal dinner Lindsay dined while wearing her Nana’s pearls
as they celebrated the meeting of the two international families.
They married on a misty summer afternoon in the cool of dusk in a garden ceremony
in Nahant, Massachusetts. Lindsay’s maids each chose their own style of simple black
cocktail dress to keep a sense of individuality and chic
sophistication. Lush greenery surrounded their guests and made
the beauty of the pink and fuchsia French hand-tied rose bouquets Lindsay chose
just pop with festivity and vibrant color. Each maid and junior maid held a smaller
version of her exact bouquet. Cool fuchsia, vibrant hot pink and warm baby pink
roses worked together to adorn the garden as Nate and Lindsay took their vows.
Around Lindsay’s neck hung a delicate chain with her grandfather’s ring. This ring
was especially symbolic for the bride as her grandfather had worn it as a symbol
of love to his own bride before he passed away. The ring was designed with her birthstone
embedded in it. Lindsay’s lovely grandmother watched with pride as she shared with
the family the honoring role she and her late husband played in this joyous union.
After the ceremony the wedding party ushered their guests into the dining
room for a delicious meal and a huge celebratory party. We
decorated the head table with the festive bouquets. Matching roses were used as
a cake topper on the butter-cream cake making the simple design oh-so-stunning.
Merriment and laughter went on into the wee hours echoing across still waters of
Nahant Bay on that breezy New England eve as two families united in cultural diversity
and most importantly.... in love.
Lindsay says:
"When I came to Robin for the flowers for my wedding, I told her that my only
request was that the bouquets were pink. From that uninspiring request, Robin was
able to create the most beautiful flower arrangements I could imagine. She crafted
a stunning rose bouquet for my bridesmaids and I that seemed to have thousands of
different shades of beautiful pink roses, in all different sizes. Even the black
and white photos from my wedding really allowed the flowers to pop in our arms because
of the different colors she used. One of the best decisions I made as a bride was
to allow Robin creative license with the flowers. I could not have been happier!
All my girlfriends still comment about how simple, yet chic the arrangements at
my wedding were."
