Something Blue.

This couple chose beautiful flowers with lots of pop! The bride had her traditional "something Blue" as her bouquet.


For a personal touch she added a locket to the front of her wrap with a photo of her loved one. Such a sweet and special addition.

The Bridesmaids carried flowers in all shades of purple and lavender with green berry accents.


The colors stood out beautifully next to the dresses.

Mother nature didn't get the memo. This was an outdoor wedding among the beautiful rolling hills Berkeley at the Brazilian Room.


No problem, we moved everything inside. The 2 topiaries flanked the large rock fireplace inside.


The rain eventually stopped and the Bride and Groom were able to take some photos outside.



The Flowergirl carried a cute lavender pomander ball.


The personal flowers were ivory with accents of lavender to tie in with the rest of the wedding party.


Guests were asked to write on polished river rocks that would decorate the couples home and garden. Such a cute twist on the traditional guest book.


The tables had floating candles with ivy and lavender orchids. They had a romantic glow at night along with the fireplace.


The candy table was a big hit with "kids" old and young!

Love is sweet for sure!


At the end of the night the Bride tossed this bouquet as the newlyweds left for the night.

Winter Blues

The color scheme for this winter wedding at the Brazilian Room was cobalt blue and gun metal gray with touches of sparkle and white feathers. It had a real 1920's vibe.

The bride Mary Joy found these "cute as a button" keepsake bouquets for her bridesmaids on Etsy.

This was the Bridal bouquet.

Mary Joy was also the winner of a complimentary wish tree. Her manzanita branches had white orchids and feathers.

Clusters of triple vases with submerged flowers and blue glass were placed down the center of the head table along with the button bouquets.

The ceremony was inside by the fireplace. Large topiary trees were on pillars that flanked each side of the fireplace.

The round guest tables had mostly white flowers with touches of blue and 2 white ostrich feathers in each metal cube.

That's Cookie up there in all her glory! She belongs to Dawn and Tim, you know, the couple that got married. Yeah, I know, I know...Cookie kinda stold the show. Could it be those bedroom eyes, saggy cheeks, wedding tutu? All of the above...she's rock'in the look! Now, back to Dawn and Tim.
They had a romantic and intimate back yard ceremony with their closest family and friends. Guests were greeted at the red front door with a beautiful floral wreath made with hydrangea, roses, peonies and Fuji mums.

The walkway was lined with silver pails that held white and blue garden favorites, that hung from garden hooks. The pails were later used to add decor at their reception.




Dawn's bouquet was a gorgeous, fluffy white bouquet of white peonies.



To give her bouquet a personal and meaningful touch, I wrapped her Grandmother's pearl necklace around the stems. Little unique details like this, help to make each wedding personal and special to the couple.

The boutonnieres were wrapped in Tiffany Blue ribbon to match the men's ties.



The table centerpieces were all white with various garden flowers.


The couple and their guests celebrated under the stars while cruising the San Francisco Bay on the Empress Yacht.


The whimsical cake topper added to the fun of the night.

Congratulations to the Happy Family!
