Color Splashes!

Splendid fun with some stunning orchids I couldn't resist at the market when I picked up flowers for a wedding a couple weekends ago. This arrangement was for a friend of mine at Pompadora's Salon in Ukiah, Ca. for her salon party featuring the newest hair products. Lily is an amazing stylist, so if you are looking for an upbeat, professional stylist in Mendocino County she just may be your lady! Perfect for weddings as well. Hope you all are having a wonderful week!

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!
