See how we coordinate? Bride and Groom, together in love and … Read more

Melanie and Anthony are such naturally nice people, it’s beautiful to see them together.. No lack for yellow here 🙂 Yellow orchids, freesia, calla lilies, dahlias, and fern for a wild and organic look. I love the fresh combo of shiny stem green with goldy yellow and a clean matte khaki.

Darling couple from my own previous stomping ground.. that’s right, little did you know I once lived in Texas! Dana’s parents are some of the coolest cats around and they were oh so pleasant to work with as we planned for her wedding at the La Jolla Bridge Club.
