Just Peachy!

These are some sample cuts we pulled for our lovely client, Michelle. Aren't they delicious? Michelle is getting married this Friday in Rutherford...close to Napa.
The venue is the gorgeous Beaulieu Garden.

Images will be captured by Jose Villa...need I say more?
The best of the best! I am honored to be a part of this team of artists. Can't wait to see this event come together.

Flowerwild Wedding - Jessica and Ryan Part II

A few more goodies from the wedding this last weekend. Then, I'm off to lunch with my adorable 21 month old beauty... she wants to hang on the "paaaiyo", aka patio - even though it is about 200 degrees outside. Tough little critter! If only flowers were as resilient as she. Then I wouldn't fear the heat of a late August fete.

Mommy's Day

We tried to take it easy this year for mommy day, but that's always impossible. Lots of running around topped off by a nice late afternoon margarita with my honey and the little A. She loves spicy salsa and tomatoes. Who knew?

Fresh from the Garden

We have begun to harvest some of our own signature blooms here at Flowerwild. There is something so rewarding about watching a garden grow. Some of the plants that are flowering with profusion right now are the rambling roses and the clematis vines; which I should add, the nursery tried to dissuade me from growing....not the right climate they said! Too hot and dry. They seem to be preforming terrifically. Can't wait to add more. Passion vines are also blossoming. They have a little "eyelash" center wich makes them look very sea creature-y. Like 'em!!!















Here are some simple arrangements of flowers you can cut from your own spring garden...
The Lilac I bought at the local farmer's market. Super lush!!







Use HOT HOT water off the tap to invigorate droopy flowers.

Beechwood Canyon Beauties

Some girls are just special. I guess that's why there's usually some guy out there who just has to marry them. Erica is one special gal. I could sense her gentle, sweet way from our original meeting for her fast approaching wedding. Ceremony at the Hotel Bel Air, with a luncheon to follow....THEN even more colorful festivities with all the couple's closest friends at their lovely home in the hills of Beechwood Canyon. Perfection. These bouquets were designed to capture her easy-going and carefree spirit with a dash of LOVE. Can't wait to show you photos from the actual day of!

Blushing Bride - Alicia's April Weddding

The sweetness of Alicia is all wrapped up in these flowers. I should note that I am a sucker for all flowers, but especially the smelly ones! The garden roses I used here smelled divine. Other delectable smelling blooms in here...sweet peas, and jasmine, and an unsung hero of sweet smelling stuff...rice flower. It looks like little blushed berries on a bit of evergreen. The studio was a haven of amazing fragrance last week. It was almost hard to put everything away in the fridge at the day's end.

Here is a peek at Alicia's personals....

bridesmaids' bouquets of weber tulips, sweet peas, and garden roses. Just a touch of blush.

I hope to have more images from the photographer soon to share....FUN!!!
