This Fall afforded me the opportunity to be so creative with flowers.  Whether it was succulents, curly willow adorned with orchids or beautiful and bold Autumn colors, this season was such a joy to design.  Thank you to all of the fabulous brides that allowed me to share in their big day!  Enjoy the slide show below to get a glimpse of the unique and unforgettable weddings of Fall.

Private Estate, Lodi

What a wonderful family you have!  It was such a joy to work with them to help make your wedding unforgettable.  And the venue could not be any more special.  The impressive old oak trees, private lake, manicured gardens and a perfect September sunset made your wedding simply breathtaking.  Country charm and sophisticated elegance collided.  The subtle shades of yellow, green, peach and ivory flowers complimented the natural surroundings perfectly.  Thank you so much for letting me be a part of such a magical evening.

Summer 2009 

This being one of my busiest summers since the start of my business, I had many opportunities to work with amazing brides to make their wedding day spectacular.  Summer may bring the heat but it also brings the chance to spotlight the seasons’ incredible and colorful blooms.  Out are the pastel colors of Spring as the vibrant blooms of Summer come into season.  Each wedding was remarkable in its own way…amazing locations, creative personal touches and, of course, beautiful flowers!  Below is a slide show showcasing many of this Summer’s unforgettable weddings.  Whether you are currently planning your own wedding or fondly remembering a wedding in the past, I hope that you enjoy the blooms of Summer.

San Francisco, Ca

What a beautiful mix of tradition and contemporary flair!  The charm of the city was evident in every aspect of your wedding.  From the grace of the old cathedral to the beauty of the city streets, your wedding captured the magic of San Francisco.  And what a stunning bride!  I just adored your vintage veil and feathered bouquet.  The citrus colors of summer were captivating…bouquets of orange dahlias, coral roses, pink hydrangeas and yellow crespedia.  I am so glad that I was able to bring your vision to life.  Thank you for your trust.  It was a joy to work with you.

Special thanks to Melissa Copps of Exclusive Photography for sharing her talent.

The Lodge, Truckee, CA

Thank you so much for letting me be  part of such a special day.  If the gorgeous Truckee venue wasn’t enough, the little white chapel and the perfectly coordinated reception made your wedding stand out among all the rest.  We worked long and hard making sure every last detail was just right.  It was such a joy to see it all finally come together.  Pretty pink peonies and green hydrangeas brought the white tented reception to life.  Accented with moss and branches, your arrangements truly captured the essence of Tahoe.  Everything about your wedding was memorable…from the amazing display of treats on your candy table to the custom box of wheat grass for your place cards and cake.  Thank you for your creativity and brilliant ideas! 

Special thanks to Paige Galla of Paige One Events for coordinating this wedding so brilliantly.  And thanks to Jill and Tony from Jillian Bisinger Photography for capturing every special moment.  To see more from these incredible photographers, visit http://jillianmodern.com

With Spring weddings now behind me and summer weddings to come, it is the perfect time to reflect on all the wonderful weddings that I was blessed to be a part of this Spring.  Every year I look forward to the gorgeous Spring blooms because it means that wedding season has begun.  The bountiful ranunculas, peonies and tulips remind me how lucky I am to have a job that I am passionate about.  Thank you to all of the brides that made this Spring fabulous!  Below is a slide show, showcasing some of these remarkable weddings and all of the Spring time blooms that brought the big day to life. 

Morris Chapel/University Ballroom

“Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you to make your winter wedding beautiful.  I loved the chance to capture the essence of the holiday season in your decor.  Your bouquets of holiday red blooms accented with evergreen were the perfect touch.  The Christmas inspired centerpieces of red roses, tulips and berries mixed with winter white hydrangeas and silver dusty miller made the reception hall glamorous and festive.  Congratulations to you both!  To view more of this winter affair, view the slide show below.

Berghold Vineyards, Lodi, CA

Fall elegance at it’s best!  It was such a joy to be a part of your wedding day.  Your vision was stunning and all of the details of the day came together perfectly on a gorgeous Autumn day.  The rustic colors of copper, champagne and brown were beautifully accented by the ivory garden roses and antique hydrangeas in your arrangements.  Berghold’s old world charm and antique wood pieces were the perfect compliment to your theme.  I wish the two of you a lifetime of love and joy.  It was a pleasure to work with such a lovely couple.

Fall 2008

I just love when the season changes.  Summer pinks turn to Autumn reds, oranges and yellows.  Texture becomes a key element of design.  Fall branches and leaves turn ordinary arrangements into seasonal expressions.  Dahlias and hydrangeas become a bride’s favorite flowers.  The slide show below captures a few of the many Fall weddings that I have had the pleasure of working on this season.  Enjoy the vibrant colors of Fall!
