Having founded Tangorra Wedding Planning more than a decade ago, Linnea Tangorra has worked her magic on many varied venues—so here, she chose to stake out neutral territory. “I wanted to stay neutral so that the style and ideas would not only be aesthetically pleasing to a lot of viewers, but translate well in most venues,” she explains. Working from her studios on Newbury Street and in Newburyport, she tapped Newton’s Table Toppers for linens and chairs and Boston’s Spruce Floral for flowers, creating a design with modern lines and inviting textures.
– “The idea behind the whole design was to try to ‘marry’ two very different looks into one tablescape,” Tangorra explains. “So many of our couples define themselves as either swaying toward a textural and ‘fluffy’ look or toward a modern, clean-lined look. Rarely do we see these two looks together. I wanted to show people that it is possible to use a lush, fluffy linen with clean, modern flowers.”
– “White is a very popular color for floral right now, combined with pops of silver and sparkle.”
– “Mercury glass is something that is very popular and lends itself so well to a variety of designs…. It also reflects beautiful candlelight.”
