I like surprises...here is a fun one-

Photos by Josef Isayo
Coordinated by the lovely KathyMazza of Bella Weddings and Events.
Just an all-around good group of people.

I really enjoyed putting this one together for Sarah and Kevin. They were fun, lighthearted, and just lovin the flowers! Mixing 3 different cafe-style pieces per table. Tres Parisienne! We raised some up on scalloped bowls to give the tables dimension. Really classy and refreshing. Here are some of my favorite images...

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.

Weekend Wilderness

This weekend's wilderness is a fluffy white dream of an arrangement. I'm enjoying one more "calm" weekend before we get insane with weddings over here. But it's a healthy kind of insanity....I think. The birdies that hatched two weeks ago in a little nest above the studio have already learned to fly and are off into the wild blue yonder. And I thought Alice was growing up too fast. Well, since I can't stop time I better just pay attention as it goes by.

Enjoy your own weekend wilderness...

Our Anniversary

Well I am so happy to say that today is my 3 year anniversary with my wonderful husband! I still remember that late april day like no other. Wow! The sun that had been threatening to hide under a blanket of grey clouds came out. It was so warm and perfect, I almost tripped down the stairs to the ceremony area, and couldn't keep myself from crying with happiness when I saw how handsome Ken was and that he was actually standing there waiting to marry me. And I remember how radiant and happy the boys were. This was their big day too. I still love to see them in the western style suits looking so cool. It was the perfect day. And all the days that have followed add up to....us.

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.
