I love it when brides are daring and let us try something new! These bouquets are a shining example- fun, different and gorgeous! Every angle is different...I couldn't get enough! And it's not just the bouquets- the boutonnieres and corsages are equally as interesting....take a look!

Happy Saturday all! This week I was thrilled to receive photos from Jonathan {Bluephoto Photography} from one of our June weddings! We just did the personal flowers- but the photos are simply gorgeous so I had to share!! Brides- if you're still looking for a photographer, check him out and book him fast!

 Adrienne's bouquet had so much texture, it really helped add interest and depth into an "all white wedding bouquet". The pops of pale green from the fuzzy lamb's ear leaves is my favorite part! 

 Such a beauty! Love the belt! 

 

 Okay I know there aren't any flowers is this one, but isn't the light TO DIE FOR?! 

Sigh. Gorgeous.  

2 Week Wrap-up

Hey all! Can you believe it's mid-July already?! Wedding season is in full force (and as a result, I'm a little behind on the blog front.) To that end, I want to share some pics from two of our recent weddings. I'm anxiously awaiting the professional pictures from both- but these will have to do for now! 

I love the simple color palette of this one! Very neutral and romantic. 

 One of the best parts though is how we transferred the ceremony installation over to the reception- giving the impression that there were twice as many flowers! Don't you love the hedge on the head table? It creates such great visual impact! 

Love the touch of bling on these little guys too....

This next wedding included a road trip down to Santa Ynez and an opportunity to work with the lovely ladies from Before I do Events! 

 Love these bouquets!

 lovely personal touches....

Holland Ranch, San Luis Obispo

Yesterday was another beautiful day on the Central Coast- a perfect day for a former Festive Designs girl to tie the knot! Shannon was one of Melinda's students and employees for years, and we were blessed to be vendors and guests at her fabulous wedding! Shannon went with a fun nautical theme- a perfect nod to the 4th of July weekend and a compliment to the look of Holland Ranch. No detail was overlooked. I know you all are going to LOVE this one. And just as a disclaimer, these are simply my sub par phone pics, soon Amy Wellenkamp will have a professional pictures that I'm super eager to share with you all! Enjoy!

 The beautiful arch garland was made of white rope and pearl strands- a lovely elegant way to pull the theme together!

 Congrats to the man who photobombed my dessert table pic, well done sir. 

 And I can tell you from experience that all of the desserts pictured here were delicious!

 A blurry, yet adorable idea to honor lost loved ones...

 Paper straws, personal cocktail napkins, a cute thank you note, tree seed kit favors, color coded seating name tags, an adorable program, and oodles of other great details made the day an intimate, romantic celebration! 

Congrats you two! We wish you a lifetime of happiness and Giants wins!
