Dana & Klint
Darling couple from my own previous stomping ground.. that’s right, little did you know I once lived in Texas! Dana’s parents are some of the coolest cats around and they were oh so pleasant to work with as we planned for her wedding at the La Jolla Bridge Club. We went for old charm with creams, white, lavender, touches of blue, and a kick of lime. Keeping our charm, we wrapped the vases in antique lace to match the bride’s … Read more

Bliss on wheels ;)
Earlier this week my friend Rachel Burger of Bliss Events asked me to whip up three cute little arrangements for a trio of her associates. Since the colors of Bliss Events are orange, green and white… Papyrus and Roses: Vendela cream and Mariana orange And perhaps more Bliss on wheels…. Fun photos from the recent NACE meeting! Putting the bikes together… Teri Stumpo of White Sand Photography with Rachel B. David Wright racing to the finish, Teri on his heels!

Love in the breeze..
Rae Florae – North Beach, San Clemente, Ca. Isn’t this a beautiful effect? To be honest, this is a risky move, because if the wind isn’t blowing or is blowing in the wrong direction, the fabric won’t billow this perfectly. But, for all my beach-loving brides, you can stop looking for a natural, romantic, windswept coastline wedding setting- this is the one to create.

HaPpY 4th of JuLy!!
Thought I would share these awesome shots from last night’s infamous Ocean Beach extravaganza. Certainly, moderation was no where to be found when it came to the quantity of fireworks shot off from the Ocean Beach Pier! Ahh the Finale!

Dang- Bold indigo and orange gets a look!!
Margo & Stephen are such a lovely couple and I have to say a major thank you to Eddie Bojorquez of Studio 512 for the stunning bouquet shots! The bridal bouquet was long and slender, which is a nice change of pace and a perfect style for showcasing those calla lilies, delphinium, orange star-of-bethlehem, lisianthus, and scabiosa. Quaint and colorful setting as always, The Thursday Club in Point Loma, was hoppin’ on Saturday night for the newlyweds! Groom’s boutonniere of … Read more

Wish I said it first!
“I’m an insatiable flower floozie… I’m always in love with a new plant. Well, I love to be in love and if you can’t have a new boyfriend every week, you can have a new flower to love.” So says Annie Hayes, proprietress of Annie’s Annuals and woman after my own heart! Annie’s Annuals is THE source for seeds of any flower worth growing. Located right here in California, up in Richmond, the wholesale/retail operation offers native plants, hard-to-find plants, … Read more

Signature Studios Throws Open its Doors
Brett Charles Rose & Darryn St. John are the talented duo behind Signature Studios located in Old Town. Couldn’t ask for a better spot- killer sunset view, neighbors include Fred’s Mexican Cafe and the (supposedly haunted oooh) Whaley House. Each photographer carries his individual style and resume, yet combine their forces for what they hope will be an ever expanding studio. Anyhow, a good time was had by all as we talked weddings, travel, photo shop and enjoyed delectable mango … Read more

Rock-n-Roll!!
Who doesn’t like to support a bunch of people running in white Elvis suits with enough studded rhinestones to be dangerous without sunglasses? We were happy to participate in the Rock-n-Roll Marathon’s Health Expo on Friday and Saturday in conjunction with EcoCaters. Offering all organic catering and locally grown sustainable flower arrangements seems a match made in health heaven, goodies for your tummy and your happy well-being. Artichoke flowers and Granny Smith apples mix with scented geranium, bright gerbera daisies, … Read more

Shades of Green
I am personally very excited that everyone else is getting excited about Green Weddings. Green weddings are not a fad; they are here to stay, just as recycling and reusing, they will eventually become the norm. That is not to say that everyone will be wearing hemp wedding dresses and putting potted succulents on their guest tables, but there will elements of eco-consciousness available at every turn. Choose to use locally grown flowers and recycled glass vases like we did … Read more
