LUSCIOUS VIOLET, VIVID TANGERINE AND SLICK STEEL ARE AN UNFORGETTABLE COMBINATION FOR HUMAIRA AND VIKAS’ BIG, BOLD BOSTON WEDDING. Photographed by Continuum Photography

Contrasting colors like vibrant purple and Hermès orange aren’t always on the tip of every bride’s tongue, but when Humaira and Vikas approached Floral Designer Gregory CostaSaint John of Flou(-e)r, he knew they weren’t the typical wedding couple. Costa-Saint John added, “We knew they wanted their wedding to be different, and so we chose bold and vivid colors as a direct reflection of both of their personalities.” To amplify the out-of-the-box colors, three over-the-top design installations were imagined. A living wall of moss, orchids and greens was created by Flou(-e)r for the ceremony backdrop. Overhead, Costa-Saint John collaborated with DesignLight to install elaborate sheer draping. Lastly, the two companies worked together and created a structure of backlit, brightly colored parasols as a backdrop to the stage on which guests gave toasts to the couple. “Flou(-e)r and DesignLight were instrumental in changing the look and feel of the space into something unique,” shared Humaira, “particularly since we held a different ceremony the day before on the same terrace and our guests commented that the space felt transformed.” “We wanted our bride and groom to feel as though they were in an enchanted garden even though they were in downtown Boston,” gushed CostaSaint John, “every detail played into the color vision.”
