The delight is in the details for Emily Starr Alfano, who can lend a hand with tablescapes and card displays for DIY brides or pull out all the stops and design a complete visual story to suit the place and personalities involved. She’s greeted guests with a lemonade cart at a Lenox farm wedding, festooned tables with fish netting for Cape nuptials and used everything from clotheslines to baskets of fresh berries to announce seating assignments. With her vendor contacts and Pinterest-perfect eye, it’s no wonder a recent celebration she brought to life at the ICA made the pages of Martha Stewart Weddings.
