Cary & Chuck by Mark Nakamura

There's probably nothing more exciting for a florist than receiving a beautiful little disc from a photographer with professional shots of her work! We recently experienced such fun thanks to Mark Nakamura of Nakamura Photography! He gave us some lovely shots from Cary & Chuck's intimate, sun drenched wedding at Edna Valley Vineyard. Thanks Mark!











Adele's Birthday Party


Yesterday was Adele's Birthday party! (and a lady never reveals another lady's age...so we'll leave it at that) Her sweet son opened up his home to celebrate his mother- and it was a beautiful day at the beach for such an occasion! Enjoy!

 Below is an arrangement that we did for the food table, along with pieces from our collection of rent-able mercury glass accessories!
 Aren't those peonies just luscious?!
A little trio of vases for the bar area...



 I love a good canopy...had to get the 'full look' in there.
 The view from the cocktail tables....such an amazing place we live in!


 In the julep vases we've got lillies, dahlias, roses, lisianthus, hydrangea and a touch of greenery....
 Hope the guests aren't afraid of heights ...I even got a little uneasy at one point near that edge! haha
 And of course, no party is complete without a well-placed vase of flowers in the bathroom...it's all about the details!

Alyssa & Kyle

Alyssa & Kyle
June 16th, 2012
Spanish Oaks Ranch, Santa Margarita, CA

Alyssa and Kyle are such a sweet couple, and we were honored to be a part of their special baseball-filled day! Kyle plays minor league baseball, so they decided to incorporate their love of America's favorite past time into the decor of their wedding. It was a beautiful day, full of love, family and friends! Enjoy! 








 I love the baseball bat guestbook idea!


It was a very windy afternoon...I just had to capture this classic shot of Alyssa's veil blowing straight up as they try to prepare for photos! 

 How cute are the little coke bottles with sunflower seeds?! I love it!

 I think these centerpieces are the perfect mixture romantic beauty, and manly whimsy! They reflect the couples' personality so well....and that's really what it's all about- making your wedding reflect YOU! 

 I loved this little flower girl....we had a heart to heart conversation about how her shoes hurt her feet- so she went barefoot! haha. But she LOVED her basket and was very excited about her role as a flower girl!

Pink in the House!


We're housing these gorgeous hydrangeas in the kitchen to protect them from heat before their debut at a private event this weekend. Aren't they exquisite? Just had to share!

Melinda goes to the TONY AWARDS!

Big News! The most fabulous opportunity presented itself to Melinda recently- helping prepare the floral centerpieces for the 16th Annual Tony Awards! Melinda's good friend Oleta Collins from Flourishing Art Event Design was asked to design the flowers, and recruited Melinda and her Cal Poly Floral Design team to help pull off the feat! They were so honored and thrilled to help! Check it out!  

 The girls working hard behind the scenes!


 Their lovely handiwork!

 So fun to check out the room.....
 Melinda and the team!

Goodnight Hollywood...until next time!
