Michelle & Kenton

I first met Michelle at a January bridal faire where we talked about her wedding colors and and flowers. Soon to follow were many emails back and forth planning her beautiful flowers from the towering head table arrangements of white Dendrobium Orchids and 21 table arrangements, down to the maid of honors hair accessory and 19 boutonnieres. Michelle was a dream to work with, always her cheerful upbeat self!

Kenton and Michelle decided to have their beautiful wedding at Barra Winery in Redwood Valley, Ca. (The event planner there is a sweetheart!) with the ceremony outside under the oak tree's, and reception inside the winery. A big Thank You to Larsen's Photography for the gorgeous photos!

Michelle wanted a bouquet that was mostly white, but still had her fuchsia and apple colors in it. I suggested a combination of Dolce Vita Roses which are a lovely white rose with fuchsia tipped petals, wired Cymbidium Orchids, Freesia and bright green Hypericum Berries collared in Salal. It was the perfect amount of white, fuchsia and green! To match his bride, Kenton wore a boutonniere of a single Cymbidium Orchid with white Freesia and touches of Hypericum - The perfect boutonniere for a dashing groom!

The 10 bridesmaids carried bouquets of lime Spider Chrysanthemums with white & fuchsia Roses collared in greenery and wrapped in apple green satin ribbon. Such fun colors!

Congratulations to Kenton and Michelle!

Elise + Mark

This is one of my favorite weddings from a few years back. The couple decided to go for a very finished look for their September wedding, and used red as their theme color. Perfect for stunning photographs! The bride adored mango mini callas and green cymbidium orchids, which had to be specially ordered in bulk from Ecuador. A lush combination of the callas and cymbidium orchids paired with green hydrangeas, deep red roses, velvety coxcomb, red dahlias and accents of pears, pomegranates, and grapes (drawing in the local Napa flavor!) created a stunning result.

The entrance gates were hung with extra large fresh flower wreaths accented with 2" grosgrain ribbon.

The ceremony decor was a combination of two large urns of the previously mentioned flowers with the addition of Bells of Ireland for height. The aisle runner was a carpet of red rose petals with a monogram of white rose petals in the letter H.

Red silk covered Tussie mussie's lined the aisle on each chair.

The bride and grooms table was different than the rest of the tables, a low arrangement with a touch of white rested on their personal table.


The bride carried a simple but stunning bouquet of two dozen red roses, while the bridesmaids carried small bouquets of red dahlias, mango callas, and red roses. The boutonnieres were single mango callas.

Hope you enjoyed!
