Beautiful Baby's Breath



The Montage Resort in Laguna Beach, California was the venue for this beautifully romantic intimate wedding on January 8th.
The bride, Casi,  loved the the fresh, airy look of baby's breath so we created a beautiful backdrop with solid baby's breath as well as 2 large florals at the back of the aisle.
Her bouquet followed the same theme and was just perfect for her. I always comment that "every flower is beautiful, especially if it's used in abundance". The Montage's pastry chef copied the ribbon band from the bride's gown for the cake......stunning! Just goes to show that even standard old time flowers such as carnations and baby's breath can look incredible if used in the right way.

Vintage Chic

Ponte Winery Family Estate in Temecula, Ca set the classic and romantic tone for this vintage inspired wedding of Kate and Sean in November.
The bride, Kate, chose muted tones of pewter, taupe, champagne and creme as her color story.
We combined silver mercury glass accents and vintage chic rhinestone brooches to reflect the soft tones. Flowers used were "Amnesia" roses, silver brunia berries, "Sahara" roses, "Vendela" roses and accents of rust toned amaranthus, blush dinner plate dahlias and creme hydrangea.

Purple Passion



April and Brad's beautiful wedding was held in October at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe, Ca. The images were photographed by San Diego's True Photography.



I also had the pleasure of creating all the florals for the brother of April a few years ago.



April and her Mom wanted a romantic, lush overall design to coordinate with the club's Spanish architecture. We created florals in the purple, plum and lilac tones with hydrangea, roses, hypericum berries, mokara orchids, hybrid asters, dahlias, spider mums and other seasonal fall blooms. The result speaks for itself!
