Wedding Florist in Bronxville, NY · Church Flowers, Reception Décor & Full Design

Christ Church on Sagamore Road and the Reformed Church on Pondfield Road are two of the most beautiful ceremony rooms in the county, and both are built to make you feel small, which they do to flowers as well. Altar pieces need to be four feet tall and full of mass to read from the last pew. Dark stone eats pastels and stained glass throws amber across everything, so white and green carry. Pew markers go every third row on ribbon, nothing gets taped to anything, and in a lot of parishes the altar arrangements stay for Sunday as a gift. So a Bronxville church wedding is two designs with one bouquet connecting them, and we plan it that way from the first meeting.

Receptions land at the Field Club, at Siwanoy on the Eastchester line, or in one of the Lawrence Park houses whose staircases were built for exactly this. Club ballrooms want mixed-height centerpieces and pin spots. Houses want restraint: a garland down the banister, urns on the front steps, low arrangements under low ceilings, and LED candles wherever the house forbids flame, which is most of them. The gap between a two o'clock ceremony and a five o'clock reception is real, and we hand the maid of honor a vase of water for the bouquets before anyone gets in a car.

More Bronxville couples are marrying thirty people at a time in the back rooms along Pondfield Road and Park Place, and those are the weddings where nothing hides. One long table, a runner under ten inches, place cards instead of a chart, the mantel dressed instead of an arch, and the bouquet getting the budget because it's photographed from three feet. We arrive an hour before and build in place, since there's nowhere to store flowers, and the restaurant's own candles and glassware often save the couple a rental order.
