Warm Toned Bouquet

I love this bridal bouquet from a small wedding we did November 12th! Autumn weddings are great because we get to use blooms with rich, golden, romantic tones! The sunset callas, the yellow roses, the cymbidium orchids with the touch of burgundy, and the folded magnolia leaves make this bouquet ooze warmth and romance on even the rainiest of autumn days!

3 Wedding Weekend!

We had three small weddings this weekend, and we wanted to share their beautiful bouquets with you! Which one is your favorite? We'd love to hear!!
This wedding was particularly special because it was the cousin of one of our employees, Darci! Miss Darci made the bouquets (with a minimal amount of guidance from Melinda) and acquired the flowers from another one of Melinda's former students and employees- Shannon, who is working in the flower market in San Diego! We love the teamwork and growth we have seen in these two designers. Great work ladies!! We're proud to call you members of the Festive Designs family!!










Mums and carnations have never looked SO good- right? 










The bride's special touch: a photo of her and her brother who has passed tucked into her bouquet next to her rosary. Love it!

Small Beach Wedding

This bride worked with us completely via email and phone to plan her wedding flowers! It's always a fun challenge to coordinate and make someone's dreams come true without meeting them! It was a foggy day in Avila on October 23rd- but it was plenty magical for this intimate affair! Check it out...

 I loved the little curled petals in this dahlia..



 Isn't her dress GORGEOUS?! 






 The reception flowers....


 Aren't the little roses in the cupcakes fun? Such an easy way to incorporate your wedding colors! (instead having orange and pink frosting...eww)
