Flowers Are a Statement
When thinking about dressing up your event there is a lot to consider such as accessories, tables, chairs, and the decor items. Flowers are a very important part of the equation, whether they are used as center pieces in the design or as an auxiliary item to consider on the tablescape. Flowers are a statement. They represent elegance, luxury life and of course each of our clients personality.
Flowers can provide a wide range of colors, shapes, and volume that provoke feelings and memories. A smell can transport us to a specific day and situation, they can remind someone of a specific person or occasion. There are different ways to use flowers and greenery on each of the events, ways to mix flowers or use a wide-range of them to add some touches of color. Depending on the season you can take advantage of the seasonal flowers within your clients budget!
Flowers in Display
Watching the reactions of clients and guests as they first set eyes on the flower displays never gets old. A professional team will be able to personalize each of the events we design, we love to make the colors, shapes and structures fit into the vision. No matter if you are using a neutral color palette or a very bright color for a Ceremony we are able to merge different styles, flowers, structures and many other elements to make each arrangement your own. Light is a great way to enhance the colors and brightness of the flowers, as the “illuminating” colors.
Re-design Your Flowers
Reusing flowers throughout the night, when thinking about florals you can always re-design, using unique vessels/vases to give them a new touch and ambience. Florals are very malleable and we are able to make a completely new look with the same flowers. The variety of color is always very exciting to design and reposition on the events.

Your wedding day is a magical occasion, and where it takes place plays a pivotal role in shaping those cherished memories. Picture-perfect backyard weddings have become increasingly popular, allowing for intimate and personal celebrations. If you’re considering transforming your backyard into a dream wedding venue, Art of the Event is here to make your vision come true. Here are a few things to consider to ensure that your backyard wedding is perfect.
Timing is Everything
Selecting the perfect wedding date is significant for you and crucial for the success and theme of your special day. Consider the weather conditions and how they align with your desired wedding theme. While a Hawaiian-themed wedding might not be ideal during a snowstorm, weekday weddings are now more widely embraced, thanks to flexible work arrangements.
Plan The Space
Your backyard can be the perfect setting for both your ceremony and reception. Separating these areas, if possible, to create a distinct ambiance is essential. This division adds an individual touch to each part of your celebration, allowing for personalized experiences. When planning the layout, ensure you account for the number of guests and create a smooth flow of traffic to avoid congestion. As the evening progresses, consider transitioning from larger spaces to more intimate settings, maximizing the use of your backyard, even if it’s compact.
Add Your Personal Touch
Elevate your backyard wedding with a carefully chosen theme and aesthetic that resonates with you as a couple. Consider incorporating seasonal colors or unique decor elements to create a personalized look and feel. Don’t forget to test the lighting arrangements during the time of day your wedding will take place. This proactive approach allows you to witness how your designs come to life and ensures stunning visuals for your special day.
Navigating the Terrain
Planning ahead for ground conditions is crucial to ensure a smooth and safe wedding experience. Depending on the surface, you may need to install a dance floor or provide alternative footing options. A muddy reception is a hazard best avoided, so consider renting a dance floor to provide a secure surface for dancing and congregating. If certain areas of your reception will have softer or earthy ground, kindly inform your guests in advance and consider offering inexpensive flip-flops as a thoughtful and fun solution.
Attention to Detail
The beauty of a backyard wedding lies in the ability to customize every detail according to your preferences. Take advantage of this freedom by curating a unique selection of decor items that hold meaning and purpose for you as a couple. Embrace the opportunity to infuse your personalities into the event, whether it’s using heirloom drinkware or newly gifted china during the reception. This personal touch adds a layer of authenticity and elevates the overall experience.
Be Prepared
Mother Nature has a way of surprising us, even on our special day. To ensure your backyard wedding isn’t derailed by inclement weather, it’s wise to have a backup plan in place. Consider having a spacious tent on standby, ready to be adorned with decor, seamlessly blending in with your aesthetic. Keep a stash of ponchos or umbrellas on hand to protect your guests and keep the festivities going, rain or shine.

Weddings come in all shapes and sizes. The reception is often where the bride and groom’s style can shine. The reception is where everyone relaxes and celebrates the couple’s new union and their families. This personalized impression is why the reception is critical and takes so much planning to get right. Whether the reception is at a public park or in the backyard, the furniture is crucial. The furniture at the wedding reception makes the lounge area where everyone has the opportunity to have a great time.
The Furniture Matters
While the venue sets the location and stage for your wedding, its furniture stylizes it. The decor in the venue can be anything the couple chooses. The furniture is a significant creative aspect of this design. The furniture can transform a space into a comfortable or formal area. Some venues may even come with some furniture included, like an oversized couch. Still, that couch can be accentuated with an added table or rug to tie the whole area together.
Designing Your Lounge
The lounge that you create depends on the furniture you choose. The parameters of the wedding help dictate the furniture choices. Is the wedding formal or Hawaiian shirt casual? Is it a large group or an intimate party? Using these factors as guidelines, anything within them is possible for furniture. The color, style, and amount can all be adjusted to make the reception areas into whatever you envision. It is best to choose a style that matches the wedding theme overall and select a variety of lounge furniture that best fits it.
Bring It All Together
Wedding furniture should also be functional. Although a sizable elegant couch may be necessary for seating, it may also look out of place in a park setting. This awkwardness can be easily remedied by adding the proper rug to create a cozy but elegant seating area centered around the couch.
Transformations
Using hand-picked furniture, any area can be made into something more unique and personal. A reasonably formal or bland-colored venue can become a whimsical party area using brightly colored chairs. A plain outdoor field can become a magical garden with adornments such as vintage birdcages or elegant candle holders. Lighting can also be used to add to a space. String lights can turn an area outside a barn into a romantic lounge or an exciting dance area.
Rent Wedding Furniture In New England
Wedding furniture for the reception is expensive. It also doesn’t make sense to buy furniture for a one-time occasion that may get ruined depending on the weather or party. That’s why Art of the Event offer rental wedding reception furniture. They have various options, including styles and colors that can create any wedding reception look. They even offer rental lights and unique decor light vintage books to ensure the recipient has the look and feel you imagine. Contact us today to rent lounge furniture for your reception or help with planning and design. Give us a call at 781-670-9292
A successful wedding and reception can require attention to detail in the planning component. Finding the perfect theme, décor, dress, and many other aspects is part of wedding planning. Another element of weddings is finding various ways to use a single material. In cutting costs, it can be beneficial to buy one item in bulk and find multiple ways to put it to work. If you have purchased a large amount of fabric for your wedding at a great price, you can use all of it!
Clothes
It may seem old-fashioned or obvious but choosing the fabric for your wedding party dresses and tuxes grants you the ability to be in complete control. You can design the exact look you want for your wedding without spending the time to find what you have pictured. An excellent designer can use the perfect fabric to get the match and look you are going for, from the bride’s dress to the ring bearer’s little tux.
Shelters
Although a fabric shelter won’t keep out any rain, it can be a great hideaway from the sun at a summer outdoor wedding. The proper use of fabric as a shelter can appear classier than an umbrella but serve the same purpose. Consider creating a canopy or teepee as a shelter for a quaint outdoor sitting area or to house the beverages. A cute shelter can really make an impact on an outdoor wedding.
Backdrops
Whether you use a fabric backdrop for the ceremony or a photo station during the reception, it can offer something elegant and appeal to the eye. A single fabric or an intelligent mix of a few can be a great way to break up monotonous décor in some settings. Think about what kind of backdrop you want to achieve – a fun photo booth type of backdrop would likely need a different fabric style than an elegant backdrop behind the wedding cake.
Décor
Creative minds can achieve great things with some fabric. Wedding décor can include the following ideas:
Bows on chairs
Table runners
Fabric flowers
Walkways
Curtains or drapes
Fabric planters or pots
Napkins
Creating the perfect wedding décor from fabrics can be challenging and fun for the right people. A crafty individual can create beautiful wedding favors using fabrics. Getting creative is ideal for the most innovative and unique wedding experience.
Get Fabric Help from Art of the Event
With the vast array of fabrics available, the process of choosing can get complex. Fabrics come in various colors, patterns, textures, and more. Art of the Event understands the complicated nature of the fabric and is prepared to help. Reach out to us for the ultimate guidance on your wedding fabric needs.

Every wedding is unique, but oftentimes wedding trends become so popular that it can be difficult to make your wedding stand out among those of your family and friends. At Art of the Event, we believe it’s all about subtle changes to your decor that can make your special day really shine. When it comes to making small tweaks without disrupting the overall theme, our wedding planning company always recommends changing up the floral displays.
But we don’t just mean changing your flowers from roses to hydrangeas — we recommend exploring some truly unique, rare, and exotic flowers to decorate your tabletops and your wedding party. Below are our floral department’s top 10 picks for unique wedding flowers.
Seldom Chosen But Beautiful Wedding Flowers
- Bouvardia. Available in white, peach, pink or red — these flowers are the perfect addition to any bouquet or arrangement. They are tiny, star-shaped clustered flowers that make arrangements delicate and feminine for any springtime wedding. The best part? They’re affordable and don’t have a strong scent (if that’s what you’re aiming for).
- Coxcomb. Before you say no to this daringly bold flower, hear us out. The coxcomb is unique due to it’s resemblance to a rooster and works as a beautiful, vibrate centerpiece to any arrangement. Available in yellow, green, orange, pink and crimson, the coxcomb is unscented and pairs well with garden roses and dahlias.
- Dahlia. Mentioned above as an accompaniment to the coxcomb, the dahlia flower works as an eye-catcher. It’s bold appearance (available in white, yellow, orange, pink, red and purple) and wide spread of petals makes this flower ideal for filling out otherwise scant arrangements. We recommend adding the dahlia to bouquets or arrangements for early fall weddings.
- Freesia. Unlike the flowers above that are unscented, the freesia flower is completely the opposite. Just a few flowers placed strategically throughout your event venue can create a sweet-smelling room that will delight your guests. These affordable wedding flowers are also perfect to use year-round and their lengthy stems work best in table arrangements.
- Gladiolus. Best known for it’s flowers protruding down it’s lengthy stem, the gladiolus is perfect for summer beach weddings and outdoor weddings. Available in white, yellow, apricot, pink, dark pink, red, purple and a variety of other colors, this unscented flower is affordable and perfect for adding height to centerpieces. Some brides have often carried a bundle of gladiolus for their walk down the isle!
- Ornithogalum. Available year-round in white, ivory, yellow or orange, the ornithogalum is an affordable wedding flower that is long-lasting (a couple weeks after it’s been cut!). This flower is perfect for outdoor weddings and is best known for opening during the day and closing at night — so if you plan to include it in your bouquet, make sure your ceremony is during the day.
- Queen Anne’s Lace. We know you’ve probably seen this one growing in your local park or along the neighborhood sidewalk — but the queen anne’s lace popularity is due to it’s flower head’s similar appearance to traditional lace. Affordable with a grassy scent and available in white or green, many brides opting for a rustic-themed wedding will add this flower to fill out bouquets or centerpieces.
- Stephanotis. Although this is often a popular choice for weddings, this traditional wedding flower just had to be in our list of unique wedding flowers. What makes this flower unique is that it’s white blossoms bloom along a vine, making it the ideal choice for floral decor arrangements such as altar adornments (they can also be hung from wall fixtures). Although inexpensive to purchase, the stephanotis needs to be specially arranged for bouquets which can increase it’s price.
- Sweet Pea. A traditional wedding flower that seems to have gone on the wayside as of late. The sweet pea’s delicate petals, floral scent and beautiful green vine make this another perfect wedding flower for table arrangements. Available from November to June, the sweet pea has an intense fragrance and is well worth shelling out a few extra bucks to include it in your arrangements of non-scented flowers.
- Tuberose. Perfect for summer or early fall weddings, the tuberose has a strong scent — which means a little bit goes a long way. Include a floret in a table centerpiece with unscented flowers to add some fragrance. Many brides will also include the tuberose in a bouquet to add a touch of softness against other, more brightly colored flowers.

Are you one to stay on-trend year-over-year? Wedding season is in full swing and our event planners in Boston have noticed a few key differences in 2018 weddings compared to 2017 weddings. It’s all about the setting, vibe, and decor, and at Art of the Event, we’re here to make sure all three aspects of your wedding are on point and looking flawless for your big day. We can design and coordinate any type of wedding thanks to our production and fabrication team, but it’s up to you to decide what you want your wedding to look like. Below are the most popular wedding trends of 2018.
2018’s Most Popular Wedding Trends
- Eye-Catching Escort Cards. Escort cards exist for guests to learn of their assigned seats at the reception. If assigned seating is what you plan on doing for your wedding, then why not make your escort card station really pop? Photos of you and your significant other with the table number on the back, seashells with the table number on the underside, and fake flower petals with the table number on the top all make for a creative and memorable experience.
- Ditching the Gift Registry. Many of our past clients love the idea of getting useful and much-needed gifts at their wedding, but they have also complained about how time-consuming it is to decide on those items and set up the registry itself. Instead, many couples are just asking for cash. This cash is then used to make a down payment on a home, cover their honeymoon expenses, or to even donate to a charity.
- Opting Out of Party Favors. You heard us right — many newlyweds said that they ditched the wedding favors in exchange for a more personalized experience for their guests. Couples are now choosing to parcel out gifts as the wedding progresses, such as offering sunglasses for an outdoor wedding, then a makeup touch-up station or flip flops for the ladies, and cigars or specialty sip stations towards the end of the night. Keep in mind that welcome baskets are still popular for destination weddings and out of town guests. Art of the Event’s designers can create beautiful displays for these guest items and amenities.
- Unique Entertainment Features. It’s not all about the single band or DJ these days. Couples are now hiring additional entertainers to keep their guests happy and interested throughout the night. From cartoonists to photo booth stations, to magicians or lawn games, we highly recommend having a few other activities other than a dance floor that people can opt for. Don’t forget that your event coordinator at Art of the Event can contact these entertainers and book them for you. With our production services, each entertainer will have their own stage.
- Mixing Up The Roles. It is always a custom to get the “first look” photos of the bride and groom, but this year first looks are going beyond just the star couple. We’re expecting our clients to want the photographer to capture first glances between bride and dad, groom and mom, as well as other key family members. The traditional “stag and hen” wedding parties have also undergone quite a change: these days people of the opposite sex will be standing on both sides of the couple up at the altar.
- Non-Traditional Venue Spaces. The venue is the first impression guests receive when arriving, and couples are trying to make a statement this year by opting for a venue that’s a little less traditional. Instead of hosting the ceremony outdoors or within a church, some are opting to rent out barns, historic buildings, museums, theaters, breweries, and other venues that are meaningful to the couple. Not sure if the space you want can accommodate a wedding? Leave it to Art of the Event’s wedding planners to inquire about the space and book the venue.

Art of the Event is here to provide professional corporate event planning in Boston, Cambridge, and elsewhere in New England! We love springtime decor; we believe that playful, fresh colors can really lift employee moral and give everyone a boost of energy that will carry into the summer months.
Ready to start planning for your spring corporate event? Let Art of the Event help you make this year’s event fun and memorable by working with you to design the perfect spring theme. Here are a few ideas to consider.
Popular Corporate Spring Event Ideas
- Carnival/Festival. Carnivals and festivals always bring a smile and a sense of nostalgia to any group. Art of the Event will ensure that there’s plenty of colorful decor such as balloon animals, hand-painted backdrops and even standing props of your favorite carnival rides. Imagine the cocktail bar looking like a prize booth! The possibilities are endless when you have access to our full service event planning company.
- April Showers. Let’s face it — it’s always raining here in the Boston area in April, so why not embrace it and make it a central part of your spring corporate event? Art of the Event’s custom fabrication team will work to create water features and rain-inspired decor and activities that will help your employees talking and having a good time. Our event coordinator will work with your chosen venue to select the perfect catering menu and libations that fit well with your theme.
- Cherry Blossoms. When the weather is just right, the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom across the country. Unfortunately there aren’t too many here in the Northeast, so why not bring the iconic Cherry Blossom festival from Washington DC to the Boston area? Art of the Event’s floral and garden arrangements are stunning, and we’ll make sure your venue is overflowing with artfully placed cherry blossoms. From table decor to entrance-way presentations, when you see the results you’ll swear you’ve been transported to Japan or our nation’s capital!
- Urban Safari. There’s no better place to be than walking around the Boston or Cambridge area during a warm spring day. Make your corporate event an all-day affair by having your employees team up into groups and heading out into town for an urban scavenger hunt. Have individuals take pictures of items on the scavenger list and reconvene at a nearby venue with a patio. Art of the Event’s graphics and branding team will ensure that your venue decor includes your corporate branding and logo.
- Garden Party. There’s nothing more relaxing than getting your employees together for a fun “wine and paint” event. Whether you chose to rent out an official wine and paint night venue in the city or you plan on re-creating your own at the office, Art of the Event will see to it that there are plenty of flowers and decorations to celebrate the spring season. Each guest can decorate a flower pot while sipping on refreshments. Once the pot dries, they will plant fresh spring flowers and have the opportunity to keep them at their work desk. Our event coordinator will make sure everything is organized and on time.

There are so many elements to consider while planning an event, it can become difficult keeping track of them all! There’s booking a venue, a photographer, the caterer, a DJ, coordinating the wet bar, and plenty more. But what really tends to tie everything together are the details. At Art of the Event, we believe that the appropriate floral design is essential to creating a fully realized event atmosphere.
Sure, you can opt for any flowers you want, flown in from all over the world, but by paying attention to what is and is not in season locally you can save money and often get the freshest florals available. Here are a few tips on what to look for during each season:
Spring
- Blooming branches are a wonderful way to celebrate the theme of a new beginning. In a corporate setting they may signify the beginning of a new business venture or merger. In social events they can symbolize new relationships and new births. Cherry blossoms have a short season but they are worth the wait!
- Tulips are always an option in the spring months. From March to May tulips are in peak bloom and come in so many different colors you can always accommodate almost any event’s color scheme… not to mention they are a crowd favorite!
- Peonies, ranging in color from fuchsia through various shades of pink to white add romance and sophistication to weddings and other social events. The local peony season, like that of all blooming branches, is short and it varies due to weather conditions, so always ask your designer to recommend back up options just in case!
Summer
Embrace the warm weather with exotic florals that stand up to heat! Orchids of various varieties, protea, calla lilies and gorgeous foliage pair well together and exude a creative and lasting impression.
- Summer is hydrangea season. This is when the biggest, brightest hydrangea heads are available which is why they are a favorite for summertime welcome receptions, Clambakes and, of course, summer Weddings.
- Dahlias, Gladiolus and lush, hanging amaranth are all in their peak in the summertime.
- Mix and match different summer varieties to add depth, color and texture to your event design.
FallFall boasts a gorgeous balance of vibrant colors like rich red, burnt orange and golden yellow leaves with natural, muted textures.
- Organic accents are popular during the fall season. Embrace an earth-theme and choose strategically placed moss, fall-colored leaves and wood.
- Greenery as a theme is the perfect choice for those who want to keep things simple and natural.
- A “gathered from the garden” arrangement for your event celebrates the beauty of the harvest.
AotE floral designers recommend ornamental kale, mini gourds and pumpkins, bittersweet branches, pods and berries — all are interesting and complimentary to seasonal blooms like sunflowers, zinnias, mums and more!
Winter
During the winter months create an icy vibe by using a mixed-metals palette using silver-toned foliage such as eucalyptus, dusty miller, painted magnolia leaves, glittered birch or manzanita branches.
- Textured arrangements such as dark-colored flowers paired with wooden elements and pine greens are great for a winter setting. Adding white twinkle lights will transform your table into a winter wonderland.
- It’s always a great idea to add some pops of color against a more neutral-colored back drop. Adding hints of red berries to an arrangement placed on a white tablescape is the perfect way to add contrast.
Feel free to consult with one of our in house Floral Designers regarding your seasonal floral questions and requests!
You’ve had all winter to browse Pinterest, ask friends and family members for opinions, and perhaps do a bit of shopping. But now is the time to really buckle down and make some decisions on what you want your wedding to look and feel like. If you still feel a bit overwhelmed by your options, we’re here to give you some insight on what this year’s biggest wedding trends are.
The Comeback of Earthy Colors
As springtime goes into full swing, everything is in bloom with soft pastel colors and hundreds of shades of green and earthy tones. Opt for soft, earthy colors for your springtime wedding color scheme so you and your guests can feel relaxed and refreshed. Light green, beige and pastel accents on tables look great against white or off-white table cloths.
The Rejection of Wedding Traditions
Traditions? Couples want to start their own now; the excitement in the room when the bride throws the bouquet or the tears being shed from laughing during the removal of the garder are history for some. BUT, do not worry, couples have begun their own traditions that are catching on quickly; such as wedding weekends or custom menus (including late night snacks….yum!). There are so may unique and fun ways to make your wedding one to remember, dig deep and really make it your special day!
Social Media
Safe to say social media has taken over the world as we know it! Some may say “Oh no!” but we say “Oh yes!” Social Media has brought a whole new light to the wedding world. Facebook and Instagram live give those who couldn’t make it the privilege of a sneak peek. Customize these shared moments on Snapchat by designing your own filter for your guests to use throughout the day! And of course you NEED your own wedding hashtag! Utilize a funky and couple appropriate name so you are able to look back at all of your guests photos shared throughout the ceremony and reception. The possibilities with social media are endless!!
The Themed Wedding
If you’re really looking to push the envelope for your wedding this season, opt for a themed wedding. For couples who are both passionate about the same thing (a book, a movie, a song, an idea), a themed wedding is a great opportunity to showcase your cute and quirky side. You’d be surprised how into it your guests will be! Our Boston wedding event planning company has designed and implemented dozens of themed weddings. It’s important to make sure you have a professional event planning company with an eye for perfection and creativity work with you to make your dream theme come alive.

There are many different aspects to consider when picking your wedding floral designer:
- Do your homework. Don’t trust pictures, they mean nothing
- Look for tangible proof of a company or designers past / ability
- Publications, venue and vendor recommendations – anyone can build a website and make an album!
- If they don’t provide a free sample pay for one – it’s worth it!
- Like & trust your designer
- Besides a wedding planner (if you have one) and your photographer – your florist will have the most contact and connection with you.
- While ultimately the quality of their work is number one, getting along with your designer is paramount to a beautiful event.
- Not only will you be in constant contact with your designer throughout the process to ensure the actualize your vision, they are also a part of your most intimate moments like when they deliver your bridal florals while you are getting ready for your day!
- Ask how many events / wedding will your company be doing that day
- Will your designer be present or just send a bunch of delivery people
- Your designer should be on site the day of your wedding – prepared to handle anything unexpected – flowers are a perishable product and things happen
- You don’t want to go through the process with someone and have them no where to be found on your big day
- How does their pricing work?
- No one does anything for free – if labor, delivery, set-up and strike are not mentioned or charged for specifically somewhere then where is that coming from? Chances are it’s built into the pricing if this is the case, so what portion is going to the flowers?
- Do you do a walk-through? Do you charge for it?
- Based on my (the client’s) style, venue (& budget if you have one) what would you suggest I do?
- This question will give a real sense of your designers experience – how well they know the space / venue, their sense of design and what elements they feel are most important based on their experience, if you have an established budget how they would best allocate it for maximum impact.
