Stephanies fabulous fuschia wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum

I just couldn't wait for the professional pictures to blog this wedding. Scripps Seaside Forum is the most wonderful venue ever! I am sorta biased since I lived on cliff overlooking the ocean about 5 miles away in Del Mar about 15 years ago. I still miss the San Diego coastline every day of my life. I am asked all the time what my favorite venue is and this really is where I would get married if I were to do it today.






Did you notice why I posted so many pictures of the centerpieces. It is because all of the black vessels are unique. And the most unique thing about them is that all those wonderful containers were under 5.00 each. Stephanie and I went to thrift stores and bought up over 60 vases. Wondering how we found so many great vases all under 5.00 and all in black? Check back in a few days for pictures of this wonderful DIY project.


My husband made the boxes for what he called the pumpkin vases. Stephanie's Dad made the benches. We loved them so much that we will have some available to rent very soon.

Lastly the bridesmaids bouquets. Check back soon for the pro pics with all the great details

Susie's wedding at The Fairmont Newport Beach

I love this bouquet so much. I have created almost 3000 bridal bouquets now and this is one of my top 20 all time favorites. It is just full of white and blush fluffy goodness. Love it!



Check out the lighting. Atmosphere Entertainment out did themselves. All the walls had a warm up-lights and there were huge peony images throughout the room. The room just glowed.








My new favorite thing. White chiavari chairs.

Monochromatic green Olympic bouquet

"The Olympic bouquets are a soft, elegant green, with five B.C. grown spider mums in the centre, surrounded by layers of monkey grass, aspidistra leaves and hypericum berries imported from Ecuador."
The 2010 Olympic bouquet resembles a typical bridesmaids bouquet. Not sure if that is good or bad but I like it.

Laura's classic fall wedding at South Hills Counrty Club

Laura sent me a link to a her November wedding in West Covina a few weeks ago and I have just been to busy to blog. Jenny and I have been busy nearing out goal of 100 weddings for 2010. This week I will meet 13 new brides and do samples for another 6. Then we end our week with a bridal show at Coyote Hills Golf Course on Sunday. So if I owe you an email I haven't forgotten about you I am just swamped.
I absolutely loved working with Laura. She is just an all around wonderful girl next door type of girl with timeless taste. Since I am so busy and without further ado here are the pictures...






A couple of great pew end options.

Featured: the Flower Allie pink bridal bouquet

That's our hot pink bridal bouquet from Jane's wedding last year at 7 Degrees. Love, love, love this pink and black idea board from the mywedding.com blog!

Leah's wedding at The Smog Shoppe

For those of you that don't already know this. Yes, The Smog Shoppe really was a smog shop. And it is indescribable in it's uniqueness. If you get a chance to attend a wedding here don't pass it up. For a succulent lover like me it is a dream come true. Leah really followed through on the vibe. Her taste is impeccable as you can see........




The ceremony backdrop- a wall of gorgeous succulents!

Rancho Las Lomas wedding featured in Ceremony Magazine

I just got the news that my favorite wedding of 2010 - Rachael's wedding at The Jones Victorian Estate is set to be published in the upcoming 2010 Ceremony Magazine - watch for it to come out on newsstands in the next few weeks.
This brought to mind my favorite wedding of 2008. Jennifer and Michaels wedding at Rancho Las Lomas was wonderful on so many levels. Great candle details, wonderful linens, a beautifully set table, adorable favors placed just so. And the colors, these weren't just any colors these were the at the time so not done yet tiffany blue and red. If I do say so my self they were just done so right at this event.
