Sweet Sweet Summer

Michelle’s colors were so soft and gardeny, it reminds me of creamsicles 🙂 White scabiosa, orange dinner plate dahlias, yellow stock, and garden roses comprise her bouquet. The vibrancy of bridesmaids~ deep orange ranunculus, multicolor dahlias, and copper clutches! Cool blue with poppin’ orange- bittersweet berries, purple thistle, and green dahlia buds.. The super sweet ceremony outside the La Jolla Women’s Club- mossy cones with dahlias and vibernum berries line the aisle beneath bright red lanterns stung in the giant … Read more

Nature’s Texture

Nature's Texture

Christy’s flavor for organic movement in the flowers, earthy colors, and stylized beauty was a story told best by her flowing bouquet of hellebores, orchids, fiddleheads, lisianthus, dahlias, and berzilia… Contrasting simplicity of the Bridesmaids suited their royal purple dresses- papyrus flairs out around baby succulents, hydrangea, orchids, and lisianthus. Outdoor decorations were simple clusters of kiwi branches, equisetum, lisianthus, and berzilia along the railing above their ceremony. Table centerpieces of glass vases wrapped with variegated leaves surrounded by flows … Read more

Sea Blue Stars & Green Spiders

Sea Blue Stars & Green Spiders

Jeannine & Anthony were married in the adorable St. Agnes Catholic Church in Point Loma & then hopped over to Balboa Park’s Spanish Art Village (by way of East Village) for their fun outdoor reception. The bride and her 2 sisters carried white dahlias, hydrangea, lisianthus, freesia, and dusty miller with a touch of blue tweedia, wrapped in flowing streamers of aqua, periwinkle, & sheer white. The beach net trapped one of our starfish and a green spider near the … Read more

For the love of berry.

For the love of berry.

You are in for a treat! This was such a spectacular wedding, from the fresh berry summer palette we planned for a year, to the fun music playing in the Bride’s room as we delivered their bouquets.. Jessica’s bouquet blended her sweet softness of silvery dusty miller, white lisianthus, and fragrant freesia, with her desire for a more unusual, botanical feel of rare lady slipper paphiopedilum orchids. Sparks of color start flying with the bridesmaid bouquets- green hydrangea and cymbidium … Read more

Wild for Earth Tones

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
