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!

I want you to remember me...I'm leavin' my fingerprints

What an adorable idea and a great alternative to the traditional guest book. Vince and Myshell had their guests "fingerprinted" at the door!

Each guest could choose from one of 3 wedding colors to dip their finger in and leave their print on the tree like a leaf. They could sign it with the gold pens if they wanted.

The color scheme was a striking red and black, so the flowers were done in shades of white from ivory to cream.

A little bling was added to the roses and the ribbon wraps to play off the Bride's love of all things sparkly!

The guys sported calla lily boutonnieres.

The view from the back of the Commodore yacht where the ceremony was held.

The tables were topped with half low and half tall centerpieces.

The Bridal table was perfectly positioned at the head of the yacht.

This was an adorable cake topper and it looked like they were dancing on a cloud of rose petals.

Cheers to the happy couple!

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.

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

Congratulations Rachel and John!
