Everyone at FBS wants to wish Semia and Matt the happiest of anniversaries today!! Not only was yesterday Semia's first Mother's Day to the most adorable little blue eyed baby boy, Luke, but today marks TWO years since she and Matt shared their wedding vows!! We've been looking for an excuse to showcase this GORGEOUS wedding and we finally got one! Take a look at Semia's AMAZINGLY INSPIRATIONAL "Woodland" themed wedding:

SHOUT OUT TO FBS'S OWN STEPHANIE GALLO!!!!

Yup...you heard it right! One of our own is getting married this summer and we couldn't be more excited!!!! Stephanie....a talented floral designer...as well as the brainchild of our beautiful blog (yes...it was all her design) and the creator of "Color Palette Friday".....is getting married at Belle Mer's Island House. I can't give away any major decor details (she's sworn me to secrecy!) but all I have to say is that we will be mixing florals and foliage with other "elements" that are truly original.....think "industry meets mother nature". Steph just "unveiled" her story boards to me today....oh my gosh they are so inspirational and so exciting and new. FBS will definitely be creating some original designs for this event and we couldn't be more psyched about it.....we are so looking forward to the challenge and of course...to surprising Steph on her wedding day (sorry babe...you can't know EVERYTHING about your decor...we've got to hit you with a few surprises).

 Twice a month leading up to the wedding we will share with our viewers a "snip it" of what's going on in Steph's brain....just a picture or two...to give you a sense of her style and the direction of the decor.  Much like a puzzle, you're going to want to see how all these elements end up fitting together so STAY TUNED!!! After the event we will be posting a trillion photos as well as the "story boards" she created to organize her fabulous ideas. We can't wait....!!!! Congratulations Steph and Brian!!!!!!

Tara & Luke's Biltmore Wedding -- Providence, RI

We're loving this hot pink and orange wedding at the Biltmore! Here's a note from Tara, the bride:

"Dear Semia,

We can't thank you enough for transforming the ballroom at the Biltmore into our dream wedding! Perfect isn't even the right word to describe the flowers. You made my dream wedding a reality! 

Thank you so much,

Tara & Luke "

Allyson and Peter's Wedding--Providence, RI

When Allyson told us that she was having her ceremony at the Roger Williams Botanical Center and her reception at the Hi-Hat in Providence, we were thrilled!  To accent the swanky club feel of the Hi-Hat we used deep reds and oranges and lots of texture. Her bouquet was classic with deep orange Calla Lilies and a touch of grass. Her maids had a combination of orange Callas, Red Sox Callas, Black Magic, Natalia and Gypsy Curioso roses, red Hypericum berries and orange Crocosmia for a touch of funk! Her centerpieces worked with the sexy and sultry club feel using the same colors and textures of the bouquets but with accents of black feathers. Since the Hi-Hat is a night club the tables are all different sizes and shapes, so working with that kind of layout, we made sure we had a variety of centerpiece styles. One other style was a skinny clear glass cube with three floating Red Sox Calla Lilies at different heights wrapped with copper wire to pull in a little bit of that Jazz again! Allyson and Peter's openness to a funky and swanky color palette made this wedding a blast to work on! If you're looking for a funky style to your wedding, definitely consider incorporating texture, a modern color palette and a touch of whimsy into your decor like Allyson did here.  And can you believe Allyson's mother made the wedding cake?!
