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?

Renee and Paul Wed

Another special couple, Renee and Paul got married this February at the secluded and spectacular luxury campgrounds at El Capitan Canyon, just north of Santa Barbara. This is another venue that is perfect for a couple looking to do something a bit out of the box in a truly stunning setting. They have party sized tents on the grounds for hosting indoor receptions and there are perks for just camping in their deluxe cabins as well (fireplaces, wood burning stoves, king sized beds,soaking tubs!!!). The staff will bring you all the goodies for a BBQ or all the yummies you need to do a s'moore buffet. Sounds fun - no?
So, invite your friends and family for a magical weekend in the canyon (steps from the beach) and get married on the hillside or with your feet in the sand - all the while experiencing the magic of California's natural beauty, without pitching a tent!

Some images of the flowers we provided for Renee and Paul - and their lovely daughter.

Pretty Little Lilac Number - Diane's Sample Bouquet

Spring is here. Woooohooo!!! Let me count the ways I can tell when spring arrives in Califorina....flowering fruit trees, buckets of daffodils, white local lilac tied in bundles with frayed twine, the soft buttery scent of tulips, and the divine frills of peonies upon peonies!
Last week we created this pretty little lilac number for our future bride, Diane. I think there will be a few more nude tones in this bouquet on the big day. Hope you like it.

Oh Yeah...and we did this centerpiece mock-up as well. The real deal will be all silver, blues, deep purples, withe the vivd green viburnum. What's that outrageously beautiful star shaped purple flower you ask? It is a clematis bloom, cultivated in the Flowerwild garden. And it is bigger than my palm with fingers extended. Scrumptious.....
