Edna Valley Vineyard

Joshua and Joahn had a beautiful and traditional Jewish ceremony overlooking the majestic Edna Valley a few weeks ago. September is really the most beautiful month here on the Central Coast, and we're so glad they chose us to help make their wedding dreams come true! Congrats you two!


















Snaps for Festive Designs

We got a sweet note from one of our favorite summer brides, and Melinda's former student, that we just had to share with you! We can't wait for the professional pictures to come our way! It's a beauty!

"Melinda- I can't thank you enough for all the amazing hard work and design details you put into my wedding! I know my mind can go crazy with ideas sometimes so thank you for bearing with me and totally seeing my vision! Can't wait to plaster this wedding all over the publications! Thanks for everything! Katie"







Elegance with a Twist

 Hello all!
When I look at these bouquets for a recent wedding we did, 'Elegance with a Twist' is the phrase that kept popping into my head. The callas and hydrangea are very romantic and classy...but then there's the little pop of fun with the variegated foliage and eucalyptus! I think the boutonnieres are especially fun, don't you?! So I decided to photograph them in an environment that suited their style- on my mother's antique wing-back chairs. I think they fit in wonderfully!

Snaps for Festive Designs

"Dear Melinda, Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job on the flowers! I couldn't have asked for more, and I still can't believe how perfect they were. When I first saw my bouquet I started to cry because you used all of the elements that played such a huge part in my childhood. The foxtails, tuberose, eucalyptus, everything was perfect! I'm not the only one who thought so; I have received more compliments on the flowers than any other part of the wedding. I had cousins and other family members say they were the best flowers they had ever seen at a wedding. As soon as I get some pictures, I'll send you some for your website. Thank you for making my wedding beautiful, and thank you for the vase! I could not have asked for a better florist! Best wishes! Sean & Erin Hanley"
