I Heart Weddings!

When working on weddings, symbols of love can be found everywhere.

This gorgeous bridal bouquet has show stopping peonies, roses and freesia. The Stems were wrapped in a beautiful bridal handkerchief.


Texture was added in with rabbits foot, monkey tail and hypericum berries.

The Bridesmaid's bouquets added in a touch of dark purple to play off the chocolate brown accents. Each girl had a necklace with their initial attached to the wrapped handle. A cute gift from the bride.

The boutonnieres and corsages had plenty of interest and texture.

Rustic bottles and jars were used throughout the venue and added to the charm.

Fans and a card cage greeted the guests as they entered the ceremony area at Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma.

Roses and ornamental grasses graced the sides of the chairs.

Large urns were filled with free flowing, organic arrangements. These were later moved into the barn to decorate the lounge area.

Various mason jars, big and small were clustered together on the guest tables. No two were alike.

Each table had a short, medium and tall jar.

The completed look with the table numbers.

Raise a toast to Kim & Joe!

This couple was married at the romantic V. Sattui Winery in St. Helena. The vibrant hues of pink and raspberry were matched with rich dark eggplant and deep, velvety red. The dark ambiance of the wine cellar "popped" with these colors flickering in the candlelight. Take a look at the great shots Ben Davidson at Perfectdaydesigns.com captured.

Gotta love that tie!

"Start your Engines"!!!!!

Mario Andretti is known for more than racing...his winery in Napa was the venue for J & M's beautiful vineyard wedding reception. I met this great couple from Davis last year and worked with them on the flowers for their spring wedding. Not a single detail was left untouched. The bride had everything mapped out and matched to a "T". Her many hours of planning turned out stunning as everything came together perfect. From the quaint little wine valley church on a dirt road to her "pinch me...we're married" seasoning jar favors, you could feel the thoughtfulness in every aspect. Some of the great vendors I had the pleasure of working with were Andretti Winery, Bellissima Vita Wedding Coordination, Sweetie Pies and Eclectic Visions Photography. Here are few pictures that I took of the flowers, I will post some professional shots when they come in as I am sure they are stunning!
