Matt and Viviana, Newport Princess Yacht, Newport Beach

Working with Matt and Viviana was a different experience for me as I was contacted by Matt (Viviana was carrying twins) and it was him who had all the ideas for the flowers. I thought this was adorable! Matt had wonderful ideas and it was fun to work with a groom for a change.

The bridesmaids bouquets were made of white roses and bombay dendrobium orchid blooms with a collar of lemon leaf.

The brides bouquet was a cascade style made with white lilly blooms, purple roses, bombay dendrobium orchids and bear grass.

The grooms boutonniere was a purple roses with an orchid bloom and a bear grass loop. The groomsmen had orchid boutonnieres.

Matt came up with this simple yet elegant centerpiece.

The cake was adorned with white lilly blooms and white cymbidium orchid blooms. Matt was very clear that he wanted a cascade look. (So cute that he was so involved).

The ceremony (and then head table) site was decorated with a beautiful arch piece made of purple roses, orchids and white lilies. There were also 2 pillars with roses, lilies, orchids and ivy. Loved this wedding! Purple and white and simple and elegant!

Good job Matt with your flower choices and ideas and thank you guys for allowing me to post the photos.

Chris and Kandice, Lake Hills Church

Kandice was the bride who knew exactly what she wanted when it came to her wedding flowers (I love that kinda of bride, makes life MUCH easier).

Kandi's bridal bouquet was made of white roses, saharah roses (which I love, love, love) and tuberose (smells so good).

Boutonnieres were made with white roses and blue hydrangea blossoms.

Chris' boutonniere matched Kandi's bouquet. I used a Saharah rose and a tuberose blossom.

The bridesmaids carried simple bouquets of blue hydrangea.

The centerpiece for the reception were made of blue hydrangea with blue rocks in the bottom of a square vase. Kandi also provided me with the vases and rocks (great idea for saving money).

Thank you Chris and Kandi for allowing me to post these photos.

Josh and Jackie, University Club, Irvine

Josh and Jackie were such a joy to work with. Jackie wasn't your typical bride and kinda left everything up to me. The only perameters she gave me was the color scheme and that she liked flowers that had different textures.

Jackie's bouquet was made of lilies, roses, alstromeria and spray roses; all in shades of reds and oranges.

The bridesmaids bouquets were made with white alstromeria with a slight collar of lemon leaf.

The adorable flower girl wore a head wreath made of spray roses, hypericum berry and ribbon.

This arch piece went on to double as the arrangment on the head table for the reception.

The chairs along the aisle were decorated with gerber daisies, alstromeria and greenery.

Thank you Josh and Jackie for allowing me to post these photos.

Brian and Joelle, Fort Lewis Washington

Joelle has been my best friend since we were in high school, so when she asked me if I'd do her wedding flowers my answers was, "Duh". Brian and Joelle were on a tight budget and there wedding was in another state so we decided to use silk flowers. Can't even tell they are silk unless you touch them. :)

Joelle's bouquet was made of silk peony, dahlias and  freesia.  

The chuppah was adorned with silk peony and some greenery.

We did 3 different centerpieces to bring variety and color to the reception area. The photo above is pink silk dahlias.

James and Rachel, Chart House Dana Point

Rachel found me on Craigslist and I'm glad she did. She was very easy going, the only thing she really

 cared about was that the flowers were shades of purple and white. Below is a shot of where the ceremony was being held.

The bouquets were made with tulips and lisianthus. The groomsmen had matching tulip boutonnieres.

Roses to honor the mothers.

Thank you James and Rachel for the opportunity to work with you.

Joe and Diana, La Casa del Camino, Laguna Beach

Joe and Diana were a joy to work for! From the very first meeting they were just the sweetest couple and one could see how much in love they were. Diana wanted something simple and elegant so we chose roses and hydrangea.

Below is the arch I decorated. We uses lots of tulle and bright orange roses with royal blue ribbon. These roses weren't wasted after the ceremony, they went on to become a table runner for the head table as well as decor for the cake. So smart to re-use ceremony flowers for the reception.

The bridal party carried bouquets of bright orange roses stem wrapped with a royal blue ribbon.

The stunning bride carried a bouquet of bright blue hydrangea with orange roses.

The cake with roses originally used on the arch.



 The head table was decorated with a simple table runner made from orange roses.

Eric and Estee, Los Angeles

Estee has been a friend of mine for many years now, so when she asked me to help her with her wedding flowers I was honored. Estee and Eric were on a tight budget (as they were expecting a LARGE turn out) so we had to be a bit frugal with the flowers. Estee also didn't like the idea of just throwing something so beautiful away, instead she wanted something guests could take home and keep for more than just a day or two; so we decided on silk flowers.

 Estee's bouquet was made out of silk peony flowers and greenery.

For the tables, Estee chose pink silk orchid plants. To add a bit more detail to them I adorned them with brown and pink polka dot ribbon around the rim.

Thank you Matt Beard Photography for the beautiful photos!
