We met and fell instantly in love with Michelle and Brian via Skype through their über talented wedding coordinator, Victoria Schroeder of Victoria Weddings (formerly Coronado Weddings). Their choices of traditional pearls and pastels (ivory, blush and lavender) paired with modern twists of mirrored accents and mercury glass embellishments peaked our interest right away.
M chose to carry a soft blush and ivory bouquet with whimsical detailing complete with textured garden roses, fragrant gardenias and peonies.
The ceremony was absolutely breathtaking, with our unique spin on a canopy as the centerpiece. Blooms were placed A-symmetrically along the side of the structure, accented by strung pearls and sheer ivory silk draping. Tall ivory pedestals were placed to mark the entry of the aisle topped with large, cascading arrangements of soft ivory, blush and lavender.
The glamorous reception was created with a pairing of long banquet tables and round guest tables dressed in gray and sequin linen from La Tavola.
A huge thank you to the talented Iris and Light Photography for capturing this wedding in all of its glory!

It is always fun for us to meet a bride who is as passionate about her wedding flowers as we are, so when the FABULOUS Krystel Tien, owner of Couture Events, brought Inna to our studio for the first time, we knew without a shadow of a doubt that this wedding was going to be SPECTACULAR… and with True Photography taking the photos, it did not disappoint!!! The wedding was set at the elegant garden-esque Emma Estate in Rancho Santa Fe, complete with a custom tent and a FABULOUSLY detailed cocktail hour.
Inna chose a gorgeous floral palette of ivory, soft blush, pale pink, and lavender, emphasizing her love for peonies and lilac. We created her bridal bouquet from pink peonies, pink and ivory garden roses, pale blush stock, white ranunculus, and soft lavender lilac.
Her bridesmaids carried simple blush and ivory bouquets of stock, roses and ranunculus.
The groom wore a tight grouping of white ranunculus buds while the groomsmen wore blush spray roses paired with blush rice flower.
Cocktail hour was set by the pool, which contained 3 fabulous floating floral arrangements containing romantic pillar candles. We attached glittering Swarovski crystal strands and hanging candles to delicately drip from the surrounding trees and seating area.
The ceremony was almost as gorgeous as the bride herself, ripe with crystal and dripping in flowers. Our gorgeous crystal chandelier was hung in the center of the archway, foreshadowing what was to come in the beautiful tented reception.
The breathtaking reception was crystal studded with GORGEOUS crystal chandeliers provided by Concepts Event Design and our fabulous crystal candelabras topped with lush floral arrangements of hydrangea, roses, spray roses, peonies, garden roses and lilac. Our glowing mercury glass candle holders and chic ivory urn vases were placed in between each candelabra, lush with florals to match the taller arrangements.

Each couple plans and budgets their wedding with an idea of what is most important to them. For some it is the music, some the food, for some it is the flowers (yeah!), and then there is the occasional couple that places the emphasis on “fun”…well…liquid fun that is. To these elixir-loving duos, we say: if you are going to do it, do it in style!
We got together with the fabulous Melissa Barrad, owner of I Do…Weddings, to create this chic and sophisticated bar scene for Exquisite Weddings Magazine. All of the FABULOUS white furniture (bar, bar shelving, belly bar) were provided by the amazing team at Concepts Event Design.
We placed our organic sandblasted grapewood branches on either side of the bar, delicately stuffed with lush groupings of ivory, lavender and blush florals with succulent accents. Elegant mercury glass candle holders were placed by florals, adding a bit of glamour. Tall, sandblasted manzanita branches were placed atop wrought iron stands and covered in open white peonies with dripping exotic white phalaenopsis orchid stems.
