A Look Back Into Our 2010 Weddings....

Alana & Tim were married at the Hyatt Regency Hotel of Jersey City, NJ, the premier wedding destination with dramatic views of the Hudson River and stunning New York skyline.


Flowerful Events was fortunate to produce and be a part of this magnificent wedding celebration. It was an ultimate pleasure to work side by side with such great professionals like Monica from Hyatt Regency, Mark from Elegant Ensembles, Marianne from Cupa Cabana, Jeff from Sound Connection Entertainment, Mark and Judy from Linenstock and Gil from Photography by Gil.

The color scheme that Alana had picked out for her wedding was purple and ivory, which gave us, the designers an opportunity to mix various tones of purple ranging from deep eggplant color sweet peas, pale lavender Ocean Song and Faith roses to French vanilla color Vendelas and white phalaenopsis orchids, all provided by the best Holland flower wholesaler, the Metz Flowers.

The concept of Flowerful Events has always been the same – to take a blank canvas and turn it into a dramatic piece of art. A compete transformation of the room is what we look forward to do. Why? Because there is nothing more rewarding than the look in the eyes of our Bride and Groom when they walk into the room and see their dream come true.

What a week we had…

Born in Europe, I have to say…we love snow…or should I say we loved snow!? Winters in Europe are similar to the one beautiful snow-day that we had a day after Christmas, with one exception - plowing begins the minute snow starts coming down and continues through the night. Businesses and schools stay open and life never stops.


Things are so different here. One day of snow left us “snowed out” for 3 days. Our entire 40 ft. awning collapsed right on top of the railing. It took us 2 ½ hours to drive to work, only to find out that we could not get in!

In order to carry in two truckloads of flowers for Jamie & George’s wedding, we had to climb a ladder as loading docks and ramp were not accessible.

As if that was not enough, Michael felt he needed just another challenge. At 3.30am in the morning of New Year’s Eve, he slipped on ice, fell, and ended up in ER with a severe muscle sprain!

I must say, despite pain, coming back to work straight from ER, and hopping 8 hours on one leg instead of using his crutches, he did an amazing job. The room looked fabulous and in the end of the day – isn’t this all what counts? That day I was really proud of my limping husband!!!

Congratulations Jamie & George!

Jamie and George had their wedding ceremony at St. Mary’s Church in Middletown and reception at the English Manor. The wonderful staff of English Manor is always a pleasure to work with.

The most amazing parts of the entire wedding reception besides English Manor’s great food and our Manzanita trees, was the wedding cake – 5ft. tall and just amazingly beautiful cake from Design Cakes! Groom’s cake was hysterically funny – a suitcase with George’s favorite things. Just the look in the guys’ eyes trying to grab a bottle of beer from the suitcase, which to their frustration turned out to be a “chocolate beer bottle”, was worth a million dollars!
