Hot Fun

Posted on March 24, 2010 by charise

Holly & Jason flew in all the way from windy Chicago to be happily married at the classic La Valencia in La Jolla.. Focusing on a love for bright, fun colors that evoked the vacation feel of their San Diego destination, we found playful snapdragons and cymbidium orchids wrapped well in pink flax leaves. Holly’s bouquet was a soft, feminine spin on the color scheme- ruffly white nerines and ranunculus combine with blush garden roses and peonies with their golden … Read more

Wild for Earth Tones

Bari & Jimmy were your atypical rocker+treehugging couple which I of course loved. The earthy browns and greens stand out so well with depth against the creamy textural whites.. Bride & Bridesmaids Bouquets of antique hydrangea, fiddle head ferns unfurled, callas, millet, berzilia, scented geranium, scabiosa pods, cymbidium orchids, puffy dahlias and green coxcomb- that’s enough, right 🙂 Up close with Bari- sweetness of the french manicure, dress, jewelry, and flowers from the wild side. Our groom Jimmy’s tailored boutonniere. … Read more
