Soft Summer Rustics

Claire and Taylor were married this last June at the Evergreen Lodge in Yosemite. Like most of my clients having a destination wedding, most communication is initially done through emailing ideas, descriptions and photo samples. They made a trip over to Merced to iron out the details with me. The lined the isle with hooks and mason jar arragements which turned into centerpieces, they brought the material and built their own driftwood arch which was enhanced with some gatherings of the wedding flowers and then of course some wedding party flowers. She was sweet enough to think of me in sending me some images from their wedding and with the sun shinning so much this winter, I've been already itching for some of these colors to come around again... Flowers we used in the designs are Juliet Garden Roses, Scabiosa Pods, Billy Balls, Asilbe, Coffee Berries, Bunny Tails, Fern Shoots, Sweet Peas, Gooseneck, Geranium, Scabiosa, Salidago and lisianthus.

Lauren and Bryan couldn't be more adorable! They came to me one afternoon in spring to meet and go over flowers. In one swoop we covered all the items they were interested in with their chosen colors. They had more than 160 guests attend their wedding which took place on a Monday! Goes to show you the beauty of a destination wedding and the amount of love that surrounds couples on such a special day! The colors they chose for a July wedding were so powerful and happy and was the best representation of the love they share!

The ceremony took place at the Yosemite Chapel with the Reception to follow at The Ahwahnee Hotel.
Flowers used to design the bridal bouquet: stock, lisianthus, sweet peas, black magic roses, anemones, coneflowers, blue hydrangea and scabiosa.

A little bit country...A little bit wedding glam

Breanne and Roy created such a customized wedding that fit their style perfectly. Breanne is a horse trainer and Roy raises cattle. They live on a hill about the ceremony site over looking hundreds of acres of their property out in the golden rolling hills of Snelling. They had a huge pole barn where Breanne envisioned the reception. When we first walked the property she was showing me the area of the reception which was still full of hay and there was the coolest old rustic wagons that were perfect to tie into their style. Her colors were black and white and she asked for all bright, spring florals and that is exactly what we designed!
The personal details that they featured at the wedding was a mashed potato bar, cigar bar and signature martinis to greet the guests!
