Unforgettable moments: 8 Cape venues & businesses share wedding stories

Need a bouquet of color and beauty? Call Vintage Flowers of Osterville

“I come from a family of photographers, so I’m always thinking of how our flowers are going to look in the photos,” says Michelle Toczko, owner of Vintage Flowers of Osterville. The company will dress up any space, from the inside of a church to a small outdoor arbor, with intricately designed floral arrangements to accommodate any taste. Whether simple or elaborate, the company is happy to work with couples to make their visions a reality. The Osterville company creates beautiful centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres as well as floral arrangements for everyone in the wedding party. “I’m not limited to any one style,” Toczko says, “I’ll do anything that people want for their special occasion.”

For Toczko, the key is in the details. A fan of texture, Toczko uses lots of blue hydrangeas, the quintessential Cape Cod flower, as well as white roses. She adds other details including gardenias and textured greens, which really make the bouquets stand out.

Toczko and her professional team can accommodate wedding parties of any size, with up to 10 florists working in the shop during the summer. “We’ve all been working together for a long time,” she says, “and we’re very efficient.”

Together, the staff has created spaces overflowing with peonies, lilacs, and hanging votive candles. Not to mention sunflowers. Toczko recalls one bride who wanted a small, rustic wedding, and Vintage Flowers created a simple, yet stunning scene with bouquets of sunflowers, and wooden boxes with hydrangeas. “I even got a big, gorgeous Nantucket basket for the flower girl,” she says. “It was a beautiful setting, and I really connected with the bride and her family. For me, it’s all about connecting and working together and having fun.”
