Destination Friday - Going to the Chapel

June 20th, 2008 · No Comments

Last week I posted about the rehearsal dinner for our Nantucket wedding. This week I am excited to share some behind the scenes shots for Destination Friday of the ceremony preparations at the First Congregational Church. If you climb the church tower you will find the finest views on the island, not to mention they ring the bells when you say “I Do”!

At the entrance to the church we created a pave arch of peonies and spray roses with ivy to give it a more delicate look. I like the neat tight look of this design as it really shows off the architecture.

Inside the sanctuary Jose is creating two grand arrangements of spring branches and roses to flank the alter. Simply and stunning is all you need in such a beautiful setting.

Kim begins to fill out the dogwood frame of the arrangement with other flowers, such as hydrangea, viburnum and roses.

And then completes the beautiful arrangement with peonies, lilac, majolica roses, and viburnum.

Although I am not a huge fan of flowers down the aisle, the wooden pews from this church are gorgeous. Along the outside of the pews we added smaller nosegays with trailing ivy. Just enough-not too much.

As a beautiful finish to the church, and to make sure the photographer got gorgeous shots as the couple processed down the aisle-we placed large arrangements on pedestals at the back of the church.
