Centerpieces

For their 9OFS downtown celebration, Ashley and John employed Hummingbird Events and Design to create a timeless take on “balance.” Black ceramic vases dotted two estate tables in the industrial venue—an ideal contrast to delicate mauve and white single-stem blooms.

Cake

The mini black-and-gold-fondant-covered cake at Raegan and Dominick’s brewery wedding was perfectly on theme, matching the party’s moody color palette to a T. Better yet? It was a surprise from the pair’s wedding planners.

Invitations

Invitations for their black-tie event at the Mandarin Oriental, Boston reflected the city where Laura and Zach’s love story started. The dark-hued stationery suite from Wouldn’t It Be Lovely featured the Boston skyline and set the tone for the formal affair.

Signage

Colleen and John wanted a soiree that was romantic, sophisticated, and a bit dramatic. So Whim Events dreamt up a “James Bond–esque” reception at the Seaport’s Institute of Contemporary Art, with black-and-white signage from AMR Calligraphy & Design rounding out the stylish décor.

Florals

It was all in the details for Lisa and Jason’s city wedding at the Newbury Boston, where subtle details including jet-black roses in the floral arrangements and the bride’s bouquet bucked tradition in the best way possible.
