Hot Fun

Hot Fun

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

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

Sunkissed White

The unbelievably warm & sunny weather we’re enjoying right now (mid-February global climate change craziness) harkens back to the gorgeous day Laura & Matt celebrated at La Valencia in La Jolla…Oh so SoCal… palm trees, sunshine, clear skies over the Pacific. Her elegant dress with crystalline T-back embellishment suited her vintage style perfectly. Laura preferred a clean, classic palette of white hydrangea, snowy avalanche roses, mini callas and fluffy china mums for her bridesmaids. For her own bouquet we pumped … 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

I'll have the Coral with a side of Pearls & Feathers, please.

Chelsea and Ryan truly set their day of love aglow from start to finish- corals and candles to sparklers and getaway cars… Bride’s bouquet ~ wisps of feather, creamy cymbidiums and soft apricot garden spray roses.

For Bianca and Darren~ To combine softness of dusty miller, smoothness of deep purple callas and mokara orchids, uniqueness of Picasso callas, fluff of dahlias, and dazzle of crystal studded stephanotis and cymbidium orchids…. to what do I owe the pleasure..
