Brazilian Room Bridal Show - Berkeley

The Beautiful Brazilian Room, nestled deep in the Berkeley Hills of Tilden Park had it's annual Bridal Show. There is an extensive list of preferred vendors of which Floralisa is a part of.

Purple and green are very popular wedding colors this year again. I did many weddings last year with this color scheme and it is one of my favorites. It photographs beautifully and always looks so fresh and clean. There are so many types of flowers in these two colors that the combinations are endless.

I was referring to this one as the "Oscar" bouquet. It has a beautiful metallic look to the orchids and is very regal.

All my springtime brides LOVE blooming branches. There is such a short time to get them , that it is a luxury to have them in your centerpieces. Usually the rain or in some cases really hot days make the blossoms bloom out too fast. They like nice, cool spring days to last to their full potential.

Fell in LOVE with this bouquet. It just screams B-R-I-D-E! The Phalaenopsis orchids are show stoppers.

Matching boutonniere with the detail beading showing below.

Pretty little silver vase with carnations and anemonies.

Cute Kumquat centerpiece. It is fun to add real fruits and veggies to centerpieces.


Low centerpiece with gerbera daisy, roses and ornamental kale.

Wedding Show in the Wine Country

What a great time this past Sunday at the Dream Day Bridal Show. I met with fabulous couples and their entourages, and networked with some of the best wedding/event vendors in Nor Cal.

Here are some shots of the bouquets and centerpieces at my booth.

This tall centerpiece stood over 3 ft.

Two of the favorites were the candelabra with crystals

and the 42" tall centerpiece with the peacock feathers.

Everyone loves a little bling!

Below are more detailed shots of the pieces.

This majestic color palette of purples, magentas and plums is a popular wedding color scheme year after year.

This tall cylinder vase held a large, fluffy ball of yumminess! The soft pinks and corals popped next to the crisp white hydrangea.

The vintage look is so romantic and still wildly popular.

The colors in this peacock arrangement were just stunning! Orchids always make a statement.

Black and white weddings are classy and elegant. Even the groom gets in on the act rocken the bling in his boutonniere.

This sparkly stem wrap is an eye catcher and completes the look.

Candelabras always add elegance to a table.

Thank you to all the couples, bridal parties and Mothers of the Brides/Grooms that stopped by to take a look and say hi!

Best of Show

Here are a few pictures from the bridal show at the Brazilian Room last week. There was a great turn out and the weather was perfect. They did things a little different this year. Instead of having a room full of vendors with 3 or 4 in the same category, there were featured bakers and caterers with large delicious food displays and one preferred vendor featured from each of the other categories: photographer, officiant, D.J., video, rentals, strings and me (floral).
...And now on to the show!

I absolutely love these two winter bouquets. What a beautiful choice for a wedding around the holidays. All winter white flowers would be the perfect accessory for any bride. Striking red amaryllis, tulips and berries are very happy and festive.

Don't you just love the orange orchids on the manzanita branches. They look like butterflies.

Now look close...can you spot them?

The orange butterflies really just blend in with the orchids beautifully.
