Nysa & Martin

Nysa & Martin, Congratulations on your recent wedding!
I was hired to do personal flowers for this special couple, but never go the chance to meet them in person. That is the second time this year that I never even met a client, strange in a way, but nice to be so trusted that it all works out well in the end. 
enjoy

A recent order


I love the cheerful color combinations of this arrangement, unlike the more monochromatic color combinations I typically do for wedding work. Check out the  interesting spray rose, tulip and dahlia blooms. I thought it was really fun and happy.

Elizabeth & Andy

Fun happy colors are in the air!
I'm loving the mango, persimmon, and coral tones. Lucky me, I have a couple other weddings with these vibrant happy colors coming up soon.
Another first time venue discovery, this time the Mill Valley Outdoor Club. I've seen it from the outside, but until you experience the entire grounds and interior you don't get the complete package. It's so quaint, beautiful gardens nestled away right down town Mill Valley. The indoor space has love craftsman architectural details.

Tiffany & Patrick

The Berkeley City Club is a stunning venue to have a wedding. Designed by Julia Morgan (Hearst's Castle), it has so many beautiful details as you can image. A covered patio off the main dining room, perfect for a ceremony, outdoor dining, or dancing, with lush vines crawling across the ceiling and open window like spaces. There are courtyards nestled throughout the building on the main floor, these are more like lush little hidden gems of paradise. Arches, columns, leaded glass windows, and more. I was in complete Awe and fell immediately in love with this place just in the middle of Berkeley. Enough about that, let's talk wedding.
Tiffany and Patrick were extremely open to my design ideas, and trying to create elegance on a budget took a little bit of work on all of our parts to make sure it fit with the space and was what they couple had envisioned, but I think in the end we did it. The bridesmaids wore a beautiful slate/aqua blue chiffon dress, the bride an amazing dress from Neiman Marcus that made me think "Sex and The City watch out"!

Sandy & Brian

Sandy & Brian got married a few weeks ago at city hall, but celebrated their marriage last weekend with family and friends. I love that Sandy choose aqua and cherry as her color scheme, it was super adorable and happy! What a positive way to start off a celebration of a new life together. Congratulations!

Alison & Brett

Alison & Brett,
Had a picture perfect day in Guerneville for their wedding. If you have never visited Dawn Ranch Lodge you really should check it out. It's so beautiful, tiny cabin-like bungalows for lodging nestled amongst redwoods and more beauty than I can describe. The couple spend countless hours on the details, and amongst them they hand painted signs for each guests room on old fence posts, Alison's Father drove his "rarely driven" mint vintage car to the venue about 200 miles away, they hung photos on old doors, and picket fence posts decorated the aisle. Congratulations!

enjoy,
