State Room Wedding: Karen + Phil Getting Ready

Yesterday took me to one of Boston’s most spectacular venues for my second wedding of the season: the State Room.  It’s the perfect spot for a very urban wedding, with floor-to-ceiling windows and views spanning downtown, the harbor and beyond.

I started the day at the Sheraton Hotel with Karen and the girls who were enjoying a very relaxed hair and makeup session.

I loved Karen’s sleek, elegant details – especially her vintage purse and winged shoes. :)

There was such a happy vibe in the room …

The next shot has to be my favorite-ever makeup image – I love the soft shapes made by Karen’s makeup artist in the foreground:

Once the girls were all ready, we jumped into a limo and headed over to the State Room.  The next shot is one of the reasons everyone goes crazy for this venue!

The amazing flowers were by ultra-talented Boston florist Michele Bernard.  I was blown away by her talent … and what colors she had to work with, too.  Awesome!  Stay tuned for the guys’ getting ready shots and the Ketubah signing …
