Mike, at Floral Arts in Westford, MA, did an outstanding job as florist for our mid October wedding. The venue was the Barn at Gibbet Hill, and we asked Mike to decorate the barn using materials that would look like they might have been gathered around a rural farm. We also wanted him to use the Syracuse University colors of orange and blue - including oranges, so it was a tall order. We cannot adequately express the masterful job he did in creating a casual yet elegant ambiance throughout the barn - from entry to dining area to deck. The arbor, large basket, and galvanized farm buckets, shuttles, and pitchers were overflowing with sunflowers, curly twigs, berries, greenery, bittersweet, interesting foliage, etc. while still having just the right touch of orange and blue. The carried and worn flowers were really lovely, and the cocktail tables and antique place card table were perfectly decorated with their arrangements including a variety of flowers, greenery, berries, and oranges in interesting vases and other types of vessels. The centerpieces on the dining tables were the most spectacular of all! The cobalt blue fruit bowls were overflowing with a riot of orange and blue in varying textures, shades, and forms. Slices, wedges, and whole oranges were artfully placed in each of the arrangements. Mike used a few special family items that we had asked him to include, and we just couldn't have been more pleased with the results. From our first visit interview with Mike to his arrival just after the reception to clear things away, everything proceeded smoothly and comfortably. His cheerful and easygoing manner, his creativity, and his careful attention to detail made dealing with Floral Arts a real pleasure!
