It's a Nice day for a White Wedding.

Jennifer and Conrad have impeccable taste. They wanted a crisp and clean look with all whites, ivory and cream colors with just a touch of blush in some of the pieces.

 The mix of garden roses and hydrangea made beautiful, full and fluffy bouquets. The bridesmaids wore black dresses, so their bouquets had a little blush added to them.

 The barrel room at Jacuzzi Family Vineyard in beautiful Sonoma was the perfect romantic setting. The round dome area is where the ceremony took place among candlelight and olive trees.

Large urn centerpieces opened the way to the ceremony seating. These were later moved and used

at the reception.

 The large wrought iron candelabras look like they belong in a castle. They are very majestic and were stunning when decorated with draping orchids and roses.

 

The boutonnieres were backed with olive branches and surrounded with green hypericum berries.

 

 The Flower Girl carried a cute white and green kissing ball.

The chairs had white bouquets of mixed flowers with accents of ornamental grasses.

 

The olive trees that lined the back wall of the ceremony had white and green centerpiece in the pots.

After the ceremony these centerpieces were put around the archways in the stone courtyard.

 

 

This grand entrance leads out to the courtyard. It is such a gorgeous place for the couple to have photos taken.

 

 Tall olive trees separated the ceremony from the dining area in the barrel room.

 

Different size mason jars with grasses, berries and various white flowers decorated the tables in threes. The jars were all different sizes and were surrounded with votive candles.

 

 Peonies were out of season, so large, fluffy football mums were used.

 

Each napkin was adorned with an olive branch. Look how cute the olives are on this branch!

Park Ave. Catering provided these menu cards for each napkin.

 

 Triple mason jar centerpieces gave a touch of rustic to this stylish wine country wedding.

A big Thank You to Quintana Events for planning and coordinating this beautiful wedding!

 

 

Some HOT, hot pink Love in Sonoma!

Kristi was a bride that I met through email 10 days before her wedding. Yes, 10 days! She was planning from Oregon. She knew her favorite flowers and was set on the colors of magenta and green. I quickly got a proposal together and we discussed budget. She had reached out to other florists in the surrounding Sonoma area for ideas and prices. I was happy to know I was somewhere in the middle price-wise of these other florists, but she wanted me. That made me super happy since I do look up to a lot of these other well known florists in Sonoma.

The wedding was going to be at EDK in Sonoma (El Dorado Hotel and Kitchen). It is right in the heart of Sonoma on the famous square. Loved the quaint interior with the wall of logs and the cute displays of milk glass. Everyone was beyond friendly, especially Angie the wedding coordinator.

The guys boutonnieres were cute little bundles of ranunculas and berries.

Love the centerpieces in their bright, vibrant colors. Check out the great ornamental kale that looks like a green rose in the center.

Close up of ranunculas, anemonies, hypericum berries, kale, hydrangea, waxflower. Can't wait to post the professional shots of this pretty wedding when they come in.

Now for a dip in the Jacuzzi...Jacuzzi Family Vineyards that is!

What a rich and luscious palette for this late summer wedding in Sonoma. The couple chose Jacuzzi Family Vineyards for their beautiful destination wedding.

The bride carried an array of burgundy calla lilies, Merlot dahlias, burgundy orchids and velvety red roses, accented with berries and monkey tail.


The Bridesmaids bouquets mimicked the Bride's, but had the addition of champagne roses to pop off the backdrop of their burgundy dresses.

Another great shot of the happy bride.


The boutonnieres matched what the girls carried.


The entry table greeted guests with a wish tree and name cards among champagne petals.


The couple was married in the stunning barrel room amidst the olive trees and candles.

Full blooming red roses were submerged among twisted vines inside the tall centerpiece vases.


The tall centerpieces looked beautiful in the courtyard setting.

Waiting for the guests to come out of the Barrel Room.


The cake was a work of art by Fleur de Lisa Cakes.

Thank you to Visalli Photography for the wonderful professional images.

The courtyard is very romantic at night.





Stealing a quiet moment alone by the light of the full moon.

Congratulations Rachel and John!

Surrounded by grapes at BR Cohn Winery

K and T were a fun and lively couple that chose fun and lively colors for their winery wedding!


The bridal bouquet turned out to be one of my favorites of the year. It even had a few accents of Bells of Ireland to reflect the Groom's Irish heritage.


The bridesmaids carried lush bouquets similar to the Bride with a little twine on the handle to give it a little country detail.


The couple's dog was part of the wedding entourage and rocked this floral collar. I can't wait to get a picture of that!


The Groom's boutonniere of course had "Bells of Ireland" along with a pod and dahlia.

Corsages were definitely as festive as the girls bouquets.

A sign on a dirt road directs guests into the vineyard for the ceremony at BR Cohn Winery. If you want to get married in the heart of the wine country, this is it literally...chairs are smack dab in the center of all the grapevines. You are surrounded by grapes!

Canning jars filled with flowers hung on the chairs.

Guest tables were a mix of round and long with burlap runners that had a mix of large and small mason jars with flowers.

I can't wait to see some of the professional images from this beautiful wedding. I will post them as soon as I receive them.
