Cal Poly Holiday Open House

Tomorrow and Saturday the Cal Poly Floral Design team will be selling gorgeous holiday designs at the Cal Poly Plant shop to raise funds for their annual student competition trip! If you're in the San Luis Obispo area, I highly recommend you stop by and check it out! There are pieces at every price point and "looks" for everyone's taste!

I love the soft, romantic tones of this wedding! The dahlias and roses are perfect together...much like our bride and groom! Check out the swirl of the pale pink rose in the bridal bouquet...perfection. Enjoy!

 Bridal bouquet

 Bridesmaid bouquet - with the addition of vibrant pink hydrangea

 The boutonniere with baby white roses, blue delphinium, lambs ear, variegated ivy and a touch of rabbit's foot fern.

 The whole she-bang all together!

May you live happily ever after!

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!

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! 

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!

 Took a peek at the program....they were honoring Jason Alexander tonight!

 The final product...oooh la la!

Goodnight Hollywood...until next time!
