The pairing of vintage and rustic dominates the bridal landscape this summer. Burlap and lace, curly willow with luxurious crystals whimsical greens, thistle and textures grounded by the ever popular and distinctly vintage gardenia are all examples of this stunning juxtaposition.

From Mallard Island to Clark’s Landing and even to many landlocked venues, heavenly palates of smoky lavender and subtle blush hues with cool grey/blue tones in romantic vintage blooms like hydrangea, garden roses, Gardenia, all wrapped with a contrasting heavy texture such as burlap, hemp, or raffia is all the rage. This theme is repeated throughout the affair, from pew/chair markers of burlap and lace to stunning centerpieces in natural stone and textures on the table, like burlap runners.

New at Narcissus Weddings and Events-

Beyond flowers, we now offer “Day of Event Coordination”

We have many packages available, and you need not be a Narcissus Bride (though we hope you are) for a free consultation for this service. Starting under $500 you simply can’t afford not to call or stop in for a free consultation to evaluate your needs!

The Jersey Shore is home to several smaller yacht and country clubs which  offer a great space, but simply don’t have the staff for the big day point person able to handle additional decor needs, escort card table set up,  chair cover preparation and the like. Narcissus can even supply an extra set of hands for bridal party and guest needs. Let’s face it, not everyone needs or wants a full time planner, for those that do, we can recommend some great ones! This is not that, simply help when you need it most. With literally over a thousand weddings of experience, The Narcissus event team is here for you. For more information call 732.281.0333
