Kori & Brian : A Southern Inspired Affair in San Diego
  • Posted By : Blush Botanicals/
  • Under : Blog , wedding

We have been eagerly waiting for the green light to show all of you lovelies this amazing wedding, but had to hold off until its recent feature in Brides (so exciting!).  Having designed her sisters wedding a few years prior, we knew that Kori wanted to go in a very different direction than her older sister, who also got married at the beautiful Santaluz Country Club.  Kori chose a fresh color palette of dusty blue, fresh greens and pops of peach and ivory.  We brought in mixed metallic tones, stained wood and various vintage elements paired with a modern flair and a soft blue linen.  Our delicate lace runners spanned the length of the long banquet tables and unique, organic ferns were placed within glass vessels.  We can’t get enough of the way this amazing affair turned out!

Christine & Joe : A Fabulous Fuchsia Fête
  • Posted By : Blush Botanicals/
  • Under : Blog , wedding

From the moment Victoria Schroeder of Victoria Weddings brought Christine and her mother-to-be, Debbie, into our studio and began to describe the glamorous vision for their big day, we knew we simply had to be a part of it!  We had such an absolute blast collaborating and designing the florals for this wedding and we can’t wait to show you all of the pretty details!  A huge thank you to Victor Sizemore for capturing every single last perfect detail so flawlessly on camera!

Christine knew that she wanted a vibrant fuchsia as her focal color paired with softer purples and pinks.  Her bridesmaids wore floor length gowns and held bouquets of soft tones with pops of brighter colors.  Christine’s bouquet was a very large hand tied bouquet of soft ivory, blush and lavender tones with a detailed handle finish created from textured blush dupioni silk accented by a delicate French lace appliqué and glittering rhinestones elements.

1092_DePillo_W07650849_DePillo_W07650853_DePillo_W0765

The ceremony took place in the gorgeous Cappella Ballroom of The Grand Del Mar, where we created a long aisle of delicate lavender rose petals paired with candles of varying heights and sizes.  A dramatic entry to the aisle was formed with custom pedestals and tall color-blocked arrangements.  We created the pedestals using pooled blush dupioni silk fabric accented at the top with our French alencon lace caps and a custom created brooch belt.  Tall tapered glass vessels were dripping with glittering Swarovski crystal strands and pendants.

The über dramatic escort card display table boasted a huge 5ft tall floral arrangement so large that it drawfed the large chandelier above it.  Over 20 varieties of orchids, roses, hydrangeas, spray roses and other like elements sprayed from the huge arrangement.  Whimsical glass orbs and crystals hung from the floral, adding dimension and fun detailing.

2101_DePillo_W07652093_DePillo_W0765

Walking into this reception was like walking into a fuchsia and gold WONDERLAND.  Glowing candlelight flooded the ballroom with over 25 candles per guest table and over 200 on the dramatic head table in various shades of mercury glass, cut crystal and glass.  Two types of tall centerpieces graced the reception tables to be described below.

Half of the tall centerpieces were created atop a custom fabricated stand that we had created just for C & J’s big day.  Dripping crystals were swaged around the stand and dripped from stand, to appear as though the huge floral centerpieces was hovering above table, dripping in glamour.  These floral centerpieces were very large being about 4ft in diameter.  Hours were spent hand stringing delicate rose petals to drip from each centerpiece.

3170_DePillo_W07653016_DePillo_W0765

The second centerpiece type was created using a color-blocking method of floral arranging, creating a crescent shaped floral arrangement.

3390_DePillo_W07653049_DePillo_W0765

The base decor for the guest tables was as amazingly detailed as the floral at the top with several petite floral arrangements within mirrored, bronze and gold vessels arranged atop custom platforms and layers of golden candlelight.  Each footed glass candle holder had its own glittering mini brooch wrapping.

3146_DePillo_W0765

The head table was simply awe-inspiring with 3 long 6ft floral arrangements created atop table and a dense floral runner spanning the entire length of the 42ft banquet-style table.

3172_DePillo_W07652804_DePillo_W07653353_DePillo_W0765

And wait… there is more!  We haven’t gotten to one of the coolest details of the evening.  Their wedding cake was suspended on a crystal stand filled with lush florals at the base.  The couple purchased this stand from Tamra Barney herself, of The Housewives of Orange County, who had used this stand at her wedding.

3307_DePillo_W0765

Custom white bars were accented in their center with tall, draping floral arrangements with hanging glass orb detailing.

We are still amazed by the details of this wedding and are so inspired and honored to have been a part of it!

What better place to meet your soulmate than DISNEY LAND!  These two love birds met at the “happiest place on earth” and their wedding guests would agree that they created true magic on their big day.  Victoria Schroeder, owner of Victoria Weddings, perfectly orchestrated this regal affair with not a single detail forgotten.  A huge thank you to the oh-so-talented Paul Barnett, of Paul Barnett Photography, for capturing stunning images of this estate wedding in all of its glory!  A large custom tent was created atop the couples tennis court, complete with a purple carpet and glittering crystal chandeliers.  Silver linens were paired with a purple color scheme.

Samantha & Jeff : Love in La Jolla
  • Posted By : Blush Botanicals/
  • Under : Blog , wedding

Planning and executing this wedding was no easy feat.  The gorgeous event space was literally created out of thin air over a cliff at a private residence in La Jolla, where stilts and a custom built platform was built and carpeted thanks to Classic Party Rentals and Victoria Weddings.  The bride chose a lovely palette of plums, lavenders, ivories and fresh greens, creating a modern-garden feel.

The ceremony looked out on to the majestic Pacific Ocean, complete with an acrylic chuppah (from Arc De Belle) and tall, framing floral arrangements.  We placed delicate orchids and glittering crystal strands within the beautiful structure for a bit of a glamorous twist.

We had exactly 1 hour to shift the ceremony space into this gorgeously detailed reception venue and we are still in love with the results!

Kate & Karl : A pairing of Modern and Glamorous at the Grand Del Mar
  • Posted By : Blush Botanicals/
  • Under : Blog , wedding

Creating this wedding with Erica Hinshaw of Joie De Vivre Events was pure heaven.  K held a romantic and traditional bridal bouquet created from freesia, roses, spray roses, gardenias and other like blooms while her girls each held a unique bouquet of one type of bloom included in the bridal bouquet against unique gowns.  Karl wore a sophisticated and timeless boutonniere created from mini gardenias. The neutral palette of soft ivories, golds, champagnes and creams paired well with the Capella Ballroom of the Grand Del Mar.   10702135_10154518391920012_1737445034868960492_n

karlkate_0223karlkate_0329karlkate_0097

The ceremony was simplicity at its finest, created with tall floral centerpieces placed atop clean ivory pedestals at the entry of the aisle and at the end of the aisle to frame the ceremony.  Delicate rose petals lined the aisle sides to soften the scene.

karlkate_0447karlkate_0446The candle-lit reception took place in the gorgeous Capella ballroom of the Grand Del Mar, where we paired various soft ivory, cream and champagne blooms to create a soft look accented by mirrors and gold.  We created mirrored runners down the long banquet tables and hand shaped calla lilies to seem as though they were “spilling” from vessels along with white phalaenopsis orchids.

LOVE!!!  Love is the only word that comes to mind when thinking about these two human beings and this spectacular wedding!  We were honored to design the entire event from start to finish and work with such amazingly fabulous vendors.  Huge thanks to Ashley Kelemen Photography for capturing it on camera!

331_desireemikewed_ashleykelemen

Des chose a lovely, soft color palette of soft blush, vintage rose, ivory, fresh greens and organic pops of black, brown and burgundy.  We used over 25 varieties of flowers and foliage to include fragrant garden roses, textured anemones, jasmine, cosmos, veronica and other like blooms and greens.  Bouquets were finished with a rich, textured Midori ribbon detailing and trailing fabric drip.

The ceremony was pure magic, created under and around an old tree on the Rancho Bernardo Inn’s property.  We created a delicate and lush floral garland around the base of the tree and hand strung orchids to hang from the branches, complimented by a crystal chandelier and Swarovski crystal strands and pendants.

The ballroom was DRIPPING in romantic candlelight and unique dimension created with the use of 3 fabulously dramatic centerpiece types.  Both round tables and long banquet tables were utilized in order to create movement and variation between centerpieces.  Tall, garden centerpieces were paired with 8ft tall “trees” that we hand created, complete with hanging candles.  Banquet tables were topped with our lace runners and an array of tall and short gold candelabras with eclectic, garden centerpieces scattered along the center of the table placed within gold, bronze, mirrored, mercury glass and crystal vessels.  Delicate sprigs of rosemary were finished with a bow accent and placed at every guest plate.

Amy & Erik : Vibrant Seaside Love
  • Posted By : Blush Botanicals/
  • Under : Blog , wedding

We have been dying to share this stunner of a wedding!  It was such an honor when Amy, owner of First Comes Love Weddings & Events, asked us to design the florals for her stunning seaside nuptials.  With a modern palette of bright purples, lavenders, ivories, silvers and grays, we created a candle studded and crystal filled event that was the true definition of the word “glam”.

Screen Shot 2014-09-25 at 9.00.11 PM0321Amy_ErikScreen Shot 2014-09-25 at 9.00.52 PM

Guests stared at the gorgeous, Pacific Ocean as they watched A & E tie the knot!  We framed the couple with two of our glittering crystal candelabras placed atop our ivory pillars.  Large florals were placed atop each candelabra, dripping in exotic white orchids, tulips, various roses, hydrangea and other like elements.  Delicate rose petals were placed down the aisle in a whimsical swirling formation.   Hire elegance brought in thee amazing white custom chairs that brought the contemporary look together so beautifully.

0931Amy_ErikScreen Shot 2014-09-25 at 9.02.40 PM0037Amy_Erik_pf

The reception was truly breathtaking.  Tall, dripping purple, lavender and ivory centerpieces placed atop crystal candelabras were carried by our custom ivory taffeta wrapped pedestals, complete with glamorous brooch accents.  We hand placed petite brooches on each candle holder, adding elements of bling and sparkle.  Short centerpieces were created within vintage mirrored boxes, custom wrapped in ivory taffeta and surrounded by layers of glowing candlelight in mercury glass, clear glass and crystal cut vessels.  Gorgeous draping, linens and beaded charger plates by Concepts Event Design paired perfectly with A’s palette.

we fabricated a driftwood chandelier to hang above the cocktail hour lounge furniture, dripping in purple phalaenopsis orchids and glittering crystals.
