Jen & Eamon

I met Jen and Eamon at a wedding faire in January of this year, and they were looking for simple floral touches for their wedding party. They chose to have an intimate garden wedding at the grooms parents house, the spot was perfect for an August wedding with a green carpet of grass and Eucalyptus shading the ceremony and reception areas. Jen wanted a mainly green bouquet to go along with the variety of greens they had chose as the colors. She loved the idea of having a lot of texture in her bouquet, it was a wonderful piece to get to design for her.

Jen's bouquet consisted of lime Button Mums, white Mini Callas, white Tulips, white and yellow Freesia, Tuberose, Equisetum, Hosta and Ti leaves, and touches of Scabiosa pods and white Veronica. The stems were to be wrapped in lace from her mothers dress, so I suggested an underwrapping of gold satin ribbon with gold pearl pins to enhance the lace and accent her gold jewelry. Love!

Jen's mother requested a type of decoration for the reserved family seats, the result was simple bunches of Boxwood greenery with white and green satin ribbons.

The bridesmaids bouquets were sweet arrangements of white Mini Callas and Tulips and wrapped in white satin ribbon. The boutonnieres were a matching white Mini Calla, while the Eamon's boutonniere had the addition of a Scabiosa pod, Freesia blooms and a touch of gold satin ribbon to coordinate with Jen's bouquet.

Best of wishes to both of you, Jen and Eamon!

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!
