Welcome to our blog! Here we celebrate the beauty of blooms and their role in creating unforgettable celebrations.
Love in Bloom at Belle Mer
At the end of August, Team Stoneblossom had the pleasure of creating a vibrant, unforgettable event at Belle Mer to celebrate the wedding of J+R. The venue, known for its stunning coastal views, provided the perfect backdrop for a classic white ceremony, followed by a vibrant reception full of striking deep reds and bold pinks. Working closely with the couple, and Lisa at Infinite Events, our designers brought to life a one-of-a-kind vision that made a lasting impact on guests.
Venue Spotlight: Rosecliff
Imagine your wedding guests being transported to a breathtaking Gilded Age Manor by the sea, filled with fragrant blooms and soft candlelight. This dream can become a reality at Rosecliff Mansion, where the opulence of the Gilded Age blends effortlessly with the coastal allure of New England. At Stoneblossom, we delight in collaborating with clients to showcase the stunning architectural features of the mansion while crafting elegant designs that will leave your guests mesmerized.
A Beautiful Bayside Wedding
There’s something undeniably magical about a wedding set against a stunning natural backdrop, and the al-fresco wedding of R+J was no exception. This late August wedding took place at a stunning bayside estate in Manchester by the Sea. Hosted in a beautiful glass-top tent nestled within the lush gardens of the bride’s family home, the atmosphere was simply enchanting. The overall feel was ultra-romantic, and was carefully curated in tandem with the couple and Keri at Always Yours Events. Our design plan celebrated natural beauty and organic, garden style arrangements, styled with a collection of campo di fiori compotes and glowing candlelight
Curated Candlelight at Rosecliff
In late September, team Stoneblossom spent the afternoon at Rosecliff Mansion in Newport, adorning the lawn with stark white blooms, and flooding the ballroom with warm candlelight. The Gilded Age Manor was the perfect venue for the James Bond inspired feel of the wedding. The design plan celebrated sexy, sleek silhouettes and abundant candlelight throughout the mansion. Our designers worked closely with the couple to evoke a romantic, modern feel from start to finish.

We love the opportunity to work at the infamous Castle Hill Inn on a regular basis.
A Quintessential Coastal Wedding
On a sunny July Day, A+I joined together in matrimony in true New England style at Castle Hill Inn. The event vision was conceived in tandem with the couple and Lia Bancroft, to create a quintessential coastal ambience, perfectly suited for this sea-side soiree. The color palette was composed of soft whites, creams, and blues with accents of darker blue blossoms for a pop of contrast. Lush July blossoms were the star of the floral designs, including blue hydrangea, garden roses, and lysimachia. Vintage blue & white chinoiserie vases played host to the abundant, layered floral arrangements adding a touch of charm to the overall design.

Contemporary Elegance at Belle Mer
In Early September, on Goat Island, at the immaculate Belle Mer Salon, C+M became man and wife surrounded by their loved ones and a plethora of ethereal, cascading white blooms. In true “White Wedding Fashion” we worked with our friend Ashlie Fastino of Infinite Events, and the couple to draw up a design plan that was truly heavenly. The overall feel was contemporary elegance meets modern luxury, and was full of white florals including orchids, roses, hydrangea, and delphinium.
An Enchanting Seaside Affair
On an enchanting August eve in 2023, K+J shared their vows in a sweet sea-side chapel ceremony, before celebrating in a glorious tented wedding with their closest friends and family. The vision for this ocean side soiree was lush, and organic, marrying together the quintessential coastal elegance of Newport with the whimsical, romantic style of an English Garden. We worked closely with Stasia and the planning team at Exquisite Events to thoughtfully conceptualize the perfect color palette and design plan for this al fresco celebration.

A Picture Perfect Day in Newport
When you picture the “perfect” wedding, what do you see? Do you see an intimate ceremony in a historic stone chapel, followed by dinner and dancing in the grand ballroom of a Gilded Age estate? For S+R, that is exactly what they pictured! The couple exchanged their vows at the gorgeous Emmanuel church in Newport, then made their way to the famous Rosecliff mansion to dance the night away with their closest friends and family. The talented Erica Trombetti collaborated with the couple and team Stoneblossom to curate the overall event vision and design plan. To truly bring together the vision of their picture perfect wedding, S+R chose a delicate palette of white, cream, peach, blush, lavender and soft blue blooms.
Lavender Elegance at Glen Manor
On a dreamy August day, along the serene Sakonnet River at the lovely Glen Manor house, G+B exchanged their vows in a romantic garden ceremony located on the property of this French Chateaux-inspired estate. The charming, classic European architecture and perfectly maintained lush green gardens of the Manor created the perfect natural backdrop for this dreamy, opulent celebration. Team Stoneblossom had the privilege of working with Leigh Heiserman of Lauryn Prattes Events to create the ultimate design plan, that would evoke emotion and tell the couple’s love story through the art of flowers. A muted color palette of taupe, lavender, sage, and champagne paired with soft organic greenery intertwined perfectly with the venue’s natural charm
A Coastal Garden Wedding
In the beautiful month of June, J+J celebrated their wedding day in style at the famous Chanler Hotel situated at the beginning of the historic Cliff Walk in Newport, Rhode Island. Working closely with the couple, and Erica Trombetti of Infinite events, we created a design plan that leaned into the gorgeous local flora of the Ocean State, while celebrating the freshness of spring blooms. Using coastal blues, whites, and greens, the overall design of the wedding was textural, yet lush leaning into garden-style design moments.
An Artful Celebration of Love
Romance is an artform in itself, and many artists throughout the years have drawn inspiration from the theme of love. In Mid-July, team Stoneblossom created romantic, sculptural florals at the Gardiner House, using the wedding of S+W as our muse. The design plan was meticulously & artfully curated with the couple and Stasia Anthony of Exquisite Events. It was important to the couple to incorporate red roses, and a sculptural, gestural design approach, as it reflects the art the groom makes as a sculptor. The designs were composed of unique blooms in a color palette of reds, burgundy, and hot pink creating a bold and impactful impression on guests.
Fresh Details
At Stoneblossom we pride ourselves on our ability to conceptualize and style a tablescape using all forms of organic materials. Quite often, to accent & complement our floral arrangements, we will incorporate fresh fruit & produce into our designs. This is becoming an increasingly popular trend in wedding design at the moment, and it’s no wonder why! Using fresh fruit & vegetables in your tablescape can add fun color and movement to the design of the table, or can help to evoke a certain style.
‘Till Death Do We Part
Fall weddings are becoming increasingly more popular over the years, and October has won itself the title of most popular wedding month, with a whopping 20% of all weddings in 2022 occurring in October! Of those couples who chose to make October their month of marriage, some choose a classic fall palette, while others embrace the moodiness and dark romance of the Halloween season. When C+J tied the knot on an early October eve, they went for a deep, bold, romantic color palette that sent a shiver down their guest’s spines.
Evolving Designs at Rosecliff
In mid-July of 2024, E+M tied the knot in style at Newport’s historic Rosecliff Mansion. Team Stoneblossom worked closely with the couple, and Lisa at Infinite Events, to curate a design plan that married together a quintessential white wedding with a celebration of color at cocktail hour, transitioning back to a softer, muted palette once the guests entered the ballroom for dinner. At Stoneblossom, we love to incorporate different color palettes and design styles in separate event spaces during the wedding day. Our designers were more than delighted to bring this vision to life!
Moody Moments from Dawn-Dusk
On a dew-drop morning in May of 2023, Team Stoneblossom got an early start to honor the love of L+I, as they tied the knot at dawn, underneath the rising sun at the beautiful Chanler just off the Cliff Walk in Newport. The sun-rise ceremony took place under the branches of an elegant, aged tree, where L+I were surrounded by fragrant rose petals and wondrous, gleaming candlelight. To highlight the natural, organic beauty of the tree, we added romantic, spilling greenery from the base and the branches. Tucked throughout the lush foliage were creamy spring blossoms of white iris, roses, delphinium, and phlox. The rising sun and warm candlelight cast a golden glow on the ceremony site as the couple said their vows, and had their first kiss.
Modern Romance at BPL
In Early August of 2023, our team traveled from our studio in Warren, RI for a breathtaking day in Boston, celebrating the marriage of K+C. From the chapel, that held sentimental value to the couple, to the larger than life lemon trees at cocktail hour, and the history-rich setting for the reception at the Boston Public Library, K+C worked with our team and their planner, Always Yours Events, to curate the most magnificent design plan, that we are still talking about to this day.
