Christine & Joe : A Fabulous Fuchsia Fête

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Kate & Karl : A pairing of Modern and Glamorous at the Grand Del Mar

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.

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_0447 karlkate_0446 The 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.

Elise & Travis : Soft Sophistication at the Grand Del Mar

E & T’s stunning nuptials were nothing short of FABULOUS. Set against the opulent backdrop of the Grand Del Mar, Elise wanted to create a soft, natural feel against the very formal, rich ballroom. Together with her amazing coordinator, Victoria Schroeder of Victoria Weddings (previously Coronado Weddings) She chose a pale palette of blush, peach, ivory, cream and fresh green. All of the amazing images were captured by the insanely talented Tim Otto!

The gorgeous bride wore a gown of delicate lace and carried a fresh bouquet of soft ivory and cream blooms paired with fresh green pops while the lovely bridesmaids wore floor length blush gowns and carried soft blush and ivory bouquets.

Krysta & Austin : Pretty in Pink at the Grand Del Mar

Glitter, glamour and grandeur- we are thrilled to be showing you this FABULOUS wedding, thanks to the talented photographer Tim Otto. Dripping in crystal and glowing with romantic candle light, Krysta and Austin’s gorgeous Grand Del Mar wedding was over-the-top BEAUTIFUL!

We had the pleasure of working with the fabulous and talented Victoria Shroeder of Victoria Weddings and events, who created and designed this event with ease. From the moment Krysta and Austin walked into our studio, we knew this was going to be a fun affair with her major requirements being glamour, glitter and PINK! The beautiful bride carried a lush hand tied bouquet of fragrant peonies, garden roses, gardenias, spray roses and standard roses finished in a soft blush pink double faced wrapping with delicate lace detailing from the bridal gown and glittering rhinestone accents.

The bridesmaid carried flowers similar to the bride.

The STUNNING ceremony was created under our ivory canopy fully dressed in a thick, rich champagne silk. Soft blush pink and ivory blooms covered the front, dripping in exotic white phalaenopsis orchids. A lush carpet of ivory and blush rose petals made from over 850 rose heads was created for the bridal party to walk down. gorgeously lush and romantically draping blush and ivory floral arrangements were placed atop lace pillars to mark the entrance to the aisle.

Warm candle light filled the Manchester Salon of the Grand Del Mar. Two types of centerpieces were used to create this look. Crystal candelabras were placed atop a mirrored base with small shaped, footed candle holders and votives and topped with a lush, draping floral arrangements in soft pink and ivory tones. Other tables were topped with a lush, round floral arrangement placed directly on the table created around a trio of tall, footed glass cylinder vases grouped at varying heights with a champagne and lace detailing.

The sweetheart table was topped with a lush floral arrangement spanning the entire front and draping romantically off of the table.

A blush bloom was placed delicately at each place setting. The escort card table was topped with a tall manzanita branch accented with orchids, roses and glittering Swarovski crystal strands and french cut pendants.
