Love on a hilltop - Subtle, chic, and oh so eloquent

       Jennifer and Marcus vowed eternal love at the elegant Harrington Inn on a hilltop in Princeton this autumn. Theirs was a discretely elegant country wedding, and their choice of flowers - limited in variety but lush in abundance, proves the point that masses of a few well-chosen blooms with subtle variation in color and texture carries a bold message.

     For the bouquets, Jennifer chose the Sahara, a sandy colored rose with hints of coffee and cream (The Sahara is one of those rare roses that ages beautifully.). And for the centerpieces, Peegee hydrangea, which comes into its own in autumn in New England, along with off white and green hydrangea, peach hypericum berries, and the vanilla Vendella rose.
     To the raised centerpieces we added green hanging amaranth - with its vintage style drape...



   


     I have to say this was a chic wedding - in a setting that's impossible to rival.  But had these two chosen to marry in downtown Boston, their choice of flowers and designs, subtle and timeless, would have been equally vocal in expressing their enviable sense of style and profound happiness.
