“Emma was 12/10. We first enlisted her help for florals after seeing her effortlessly beautiful but classy work. Once getting closer to the day of it was clear we would need a bit more help with coordination leading up to and on the day and also pulled her onboard for planning services. To say she was excellent across the board is an understatement. She is a true professional who spent the time helping me organize my thoughts and life beforehand and also made the day run extremely smoothly without feeling like there was any stress behind it. I couldn’t have done it without her and will be forever grateful.

OH AND THE BEAUTIFUL FLORALS, just an added bonus on top of it all.”

design details: blush, romantic, coastal

Picture this: sandy toes, salty air, and the sound of waves crashing in the distance. At First Blush, we're all about capturing that laid-back coastal vibe and infusing it into every bouquet and centerpiece. Say goodbye to stuffy traditions and hello to beachy bliss!

L + D were married ocean-side at The Owenago, a historic inn and beach club in Branford, CT, on a very windy September day. We were brought into their celebration initially as the floral designers and added our management services to help get them with the final details of their day.

We incorporated tall, whimsical delphinium, snapdragons, roses and luscious local greenery to create the perfect garden style pieces to add to the breath-taking view of the ceremony on the water. Blush roses and stunning local dahlias combined with white touches of lisianthus, spray roses, and wild wind-flowers were core components of the bridal bouquet and reception centerpieces. Each plate was set on a woven wicker charger and topped with a baby blue napkin and clam shell, hand-selected by the bride as a keepsake for all of the couple’s loved ones.

We're not just about looking good; we're about doing good too. That's why we're all about sustainable practices that give back to our beautiful planet. From sourcing local blooms to minimizing waste, we're making waves in the world of eco-friendly weddings. Your wedding should be as unique as you are, and we're here to make sure it's nothing short of epic. Whether you're dreaming of a boho beach bash or a chic seaside soirée, we've got you covered. With First Blush, it's all about bringing your vision to life in the most fabulous way possible.
