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.

Side view of the girl's bouquets. They were placed in vases with cobalt blue marbles down the center of the head table.

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.

Clusters on the long head table.

I will post the professional shots of this wedding soon. Please check back!

Champagne and Lattes on the bay.

Gretel was a bride that knew what she wanted moments into our consultation. "Champagne and Latte"...why those are two of my favorite things to sip on...this was going to be fun.


The bride carried ivory roses, orchids and roses in a champagne color. Bits of burgundy and gold accented the bouquet.


The Bridesmaids carried flowing bouquets of phaelenopsis orchids and bear grass with either gold ribbon or latte ribbon.

The flower girls carried calla lilies and bear grass with latte ribbons to match the sashes on their dresses.

The aisle was lined with ivory, champagne and beige colored rose petals.

The arch overlooked the beautiful Sausalito harbor.

What a beautiful backdrop!

The men wore cymbidium boutonnieres and the women wore phaelenopsis corsages.

Gotta love that cake topper!

Featured Real Wedding.

The beautiful summer wedding of Jessica and Minh was a crisp and fresh color combination of green and white. Calla lilies and orchids were used throughout the Brazilian Room in Berkeley, with a lovely backdrop of the rolling hills. A very special moment of the day was when a double rainbow appeared, setting the scene for an awesome photo op!

Honoring All Who Have Served.

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!



The very least we can do everyday, but especially today is say "Thank You".

It's no secret I love to bake, it's my way of winding down. I enjoy themed desserts for every occasion. Flowers and dessert...what more could a girl ask for!

In honor of our Soldiers, both women and men, I would like to extend an offer from today until February 1, 2010. Any bride or groom with a Military I.D. that books their wedding with Floralisa will receive 10% off their flower total, up to $ 250.00 (Two Hundred Fifty Dollars).

Wedding must be booked between 11/11/09 - 2/1/10. Wedding does not have to be between those dates, just booked within those dates. Percentage will be taken off flower total (before tax and delivery fee). Military I.d. must be presented at time of order for offer to be valid.

I Love the Fall Season.

With the weather changing and the leaves turning and the rich saturated colors of fall, I find myself in the car a lot, just driving around and taking in the scenery. If you haven't been to the wine country lately, give yourself a treat and take a ride. The scenery is breathtaking! The grapevines are turning orange and gold and you can still see some with purple grapes. Here is a wedding that shows all the vibrant colors of fall, complete with fall leaves sprinkled about and little bags of sunflower seeds for each guest.

Boutonnieres were all mini sunflowers except for the groom who had a mango calla. Accents of oak leaves and berries were added to all.

Love the use of leaves instead of the usual rose petals sprinkled around the tables.

Cute wedding favors made by the bride.

Sunshine on the Bay.

What a beautiful day to get married, especially when your exchanging vows on the gorgeous San Francisco Bay.

The Bride and Groom chose bright yellow as their main wedding color and wanted a lot of roses used throughout. The guy's boutonnieres kept with the nautical theme by having seashells as accents.
They look so cute!


As the guests entered the yacht, they could drop their well wishes in the themed treasure chest.

These beautiful wreaths were the guest table centerpieces. A bowl with a fragrant floating gardenia was set in the middle of each wreath.

The romantic sweetheart table smelled divine with all the yellow rose petals.

The flower girl baskets were adorned with sea shells and crystals (very cute), and filled with...you guessed it! Yellow rose petals.

Another shot of the arch that overlooked the Sausalito yacht harbor. Congratulations to the happy couple that traveled from Stockton to treat their dearest family and friends to a beautiful celebration on the bay.

Chardonnay...need I say more.

Congratulations to Kristine and Marvin who had a beautiful wedding at Chardonnay Golf Club in Napa among a large festive group of their family and friends.

The Bride carried a fluffy all white bouquet with callas, rose and orchids to name a few.

The 7 bridesmaids carried a mix of white and bright pink callas.

The entire tent was draped in white with only little spashes of pink on the head table. All 21 guest tables sparkled in all white with 4 glass cylinders and candlelight on each table. White paper lanters gave it a fun festive look. Imagine what it looked like at night...how romantic!
