Outdoor Sacramento Wedding

The bride chose a light and fresh color palette of green and ivory for her outdoor wedding under a big, beautiful willow tree.

The cute couple sharing a moment on the porch swing before the big party!

Love this shot! 

 The tables were decorated with different size mason jars with green orchids and white tulips, topped with floating candles.

Various size mason jars were placed around the place card table.

 

Pretty arch that decorated the ceremony site next to the river. It was a surprise for the bride to take home and decorate their garden.

 Close up of the pretty green carnations and roses. Carnations have come a long way. The colors are endless, they smell wonderful and they last well in heat or out of water.

 



Sheppard hooks held silver pails with berries, roses and tulips. These lined the rose petal aisle way.

*Best memory from this wedding: Eating cheeseburgers from the "Squeeze In" before the ceremony with the groom and D.J.Sonny.

So appreciative of this wonderful review from the couple on yelp.

 

As you can see from all of the other Yelp reviewers...Lisa is amazing. With short notice and an extremely tight budget Lisa worked wonders for our wedding!

 

I can't say it any better than those who've already posted. Lisa is creative with look & feel as well as with budget...she gets to know you and what you're working with and she makes the magic happen. She's dependable, proactive, honest, and just an overall pleasure to work with...I didn't even meet her until the day of my wedding, everything was done through email - that's how much we trusted her and that's how helpful and understanding she was of our time as well.

 

I never had the wedding "dreams", never had a desire to plan one and really had no idea what I was doing planning a wedding in three months! I didn't think I'd have one flower there to be honest. At the end of the day, I was so happy we came across Lisa, so happy with the choices we made together, and so happy with outcome. What a difference it makes in the ambiance...and we didn't even have to go broke or go crazy to get it!

 

Happy New Year!

Some of my favorites from 2012...looking ahead to the beauty in 2013! Happy New Year from Floralisa Weddings & Events.

Tra Vigne and Merryvale Vineyard - St. Helena

Merryvale describes itself as, "One of Napa Valley's Most Enchanting Settings for Special Events."

It's easy to see why.

 

 With it's expansive kings table, huge wine barrels and intoxicating scent of wine, the place is magical.

The Bride chose shades of ivory for herself and tones and hues of lavender, purple and eggplant throughout the wedding.

 

 The decorative wrought iron gate in the courtyard of Tra Vigne is where the couple exchanged their wedding vows.

 

Love how cute the Bistro chairs looked with the babies breath pomander balls

 

 

Babies breath gives the pomanders a soft fluffy look.

 

Scrolling the aisle with lavender and ivory rose petals added to the soft feminine feel of the wedding.

 

The bride had a mix of English Garden Roses, Ecuadorian Roses and spray roses for a fragrant bouquet.

The Bridal bouquet was wrapped in lace from the Bride's gown.

The Bridesmaid's wore eggplant dresses and carried a mix of purple and eggplant flowers.

The Mom's corsages were in shades of plum and purples.

The entry table was in a separate private circular room that is used for private tastings.

 

Here the guests could drop their cards in a wedding mailbox and ink their thumbprint on the

wedding tree.

 

The gorgeous candelabras were swagged with crystals to sparkle in the candlelight.

The table was covered in a puckered rose pattern that added dimension. On top of the linens were lavender and ivory rose petals and various candles in ivory and gold.

All the decor in the ambiance of the cask room was breathtaking.

 

Beautiful blue bling wedding.

 Love the colors in this bouquet! The blue orchids really set it off nicely.

The bride liked "bling" and wanted it incorporated into the centers of the stephanotis flowers.
A sparkly blinged out buckle added to the wrap completed the look.

The bridesmaids carried fluffy bouquets of blue hydrangea with accents of orchids and sparkly rhinestones. The stems were wrapped in purple polka dot ribbon. Too cute!

The groom had a fragrant boutonniere with 2 blue orchids and lavender flower. The fiddle fern added some whimsy.

  Various boutonnieres for the bridal party and family members. Love the clusters of lavender. Smelled refreshing!

The couple were married at a private residence in Sebastopol on a gorgeoous spring day. The atmosphere was stunning with tall pine trees that had paper lanterns hung on the branches and a barn on the property.
The ceremony was held under a trellis in the gardens...very romantic! Congratulations to the happy couple.

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.

Close up of the pearl beading detail wrapped around the flowers.

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.

A few shots from the show!
