Cari & Marc @ La Jolla Shores

Posted on September 30, 2008 by charise

Oohh, love 🙂 To match the terracotta setting amid the sun and sand, Cari and her mom, Carole, were looking for a natural, relaxed feel to their florals.. with a taste for gerbera daisies, dahlias, and anything branchy, we had our creative direction in order. Silver ribbon accents tied the sunny gerberas to the railing leading to the ceremony. Bittersweet branches, rosehips, miniature calla lilies, roses & gerberas, dahlias, snowberry, green hypericum coffee berry, coxcomb in orange, red, and magenta.. … Read more

I just couldn’t resist- the red dahlias are so perfect and these adorable “Pupita” spray roses were calling my name again. Maybe I should have saved the combo for Valentine’s Day, but honestly pink and red make such a pretty pair any time of year. This was the perfect bouquet to cheer up a friend.

Plus, the orchids came in an especially yummy mauve color, spotted with deeper reddish purple hues, adding just a touch of exotic flavor for the wedding in Baja last weekend.

Margo & Stephen are such a lovely couple and I have to say a major thank you to Eddie Bojorquez of Studio 512 for the stunning bouquet shots! The bridal bouquet was long and slender, which is a nice change of pace and a perfect style for showcasing those calla lilies, delphinium, orange star-of-bethlehem, lisianthus, and scabiosa. Quaint and colorful setting as always, The Thursday Club in Point Loma, was hoppin’ on Saturday night for the newlyweds! Groom’s boutonniere of … Read more

Shades of Green

Posted on May 22, 2008 by charise

I am personally very excited that everyone else is getting excited about Green Weddings. Green weddings are not a fad; they are here to stay, just as recycling and reusing, they will eventually become the norm. That is not to say that everyone will be wearing hemp wedding dresses and putting potted succulents on their guest tables, but there will elements of eco-consciousness available at every turn.
