Napa Nuptials

Hello All! We have been to Napa and back. Heard a lot of unusual radio on our travels ( Fats Domino, New skool and old skool Country, and some rockin' Napa station I will forever be on the hunt for!) and saw some dusty almond crops too. DRY farmland!
This wedding was a stunner to say the least..today I will share the studio shots of the centerpieces These are the larger focal arrangements, which were surrounded by smaller satellite groupings of flowers. Her Personals will come later and of course when Jose Villa has his images from the day we'll post those too.









Here's what you can find in these arrangements...
Heirloom Garden Roses
Coral Passion Vine
Dusty Miller
Amaryllis
Hebe
Ranunculas
Dahlias
Flowering Pieris
Grape Vine
and fun fuzzy - and some not so fuzzy - succulents

What do you think? Like em? The only thing missing is the wine!

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.
And will be coordinated by Brandy Cabral of Bliss Event Productions. Her work is stunning!
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 - Anne's Vineyard flowers

Another quick entry as I have hands very full right now...
but Alice and I needed a little R&R after a hard day in the studio.
It has actually been very pleasant.
The air outside is so HOT and smells of fire.
But the air in the studio smells of honey and the heavy perfume of Real Heirloom Garden Roses...
It is intoxicating.

Here are a few pics of the small but fabulous wedding we did last week at Saddlerock Vineyard in Malibu.
I must say that I had a hard time parting with this bridal bouquet - pictured above. It made me want to get married all over again.

On another note....

It's a little sample madness over here these days. Here are a few more images from a wedding of vivid color! I absolutely cannot wait to see this one take shape on the day. Another amazing bride who I enjoy so much! This will take place at the Smog Shoppe here in LA later in September. Check out their lush vertical gardens! You can actually do this yourself by buying these fuzzy wall pockets. Neat-o.
Passion vine, pansies, dahlias (of course!) and some other fun stuff. These make me smile and we can all use a smile, right?

Samples for Corinne

I have so many lovely images stacked up waiting to show to all of you Flowerwild lovers. (thanks for caring!!!) Just not enough hours in the day to get to everything with weddings for the next 6 weeks straight or maybe it's 8...have to actually look at the calendar to know. It's like a marathon - but it's fun and filled with the most delicious flowers.
I have some garden roses in my bathroom from samples I did earlier this week and they are just divine. I find myself just wandering in there to gaze at them and all their ruffly splendor. Each day I swear they only get more beautiful. Sigh...

Anyhoooo these image are from samples I did for one of my most favorite Brides this season. She is having an intimate wedding at the Four Season's in Santa Barbara with lots of soft muted creamy flowers - along with a splash of pink/peach (this will be a lot more toned down on the day and not so bubble gum.)

Cafe Au Lait Dahlias, ranunculas, Fair Bianca roses, sweet peas make up this subtle palette. More when we deliver the real deal later this week!





How's this for classic, refined beauty? a soft clutch of Garden Roses for her...

A few goodies from the Studio

I enjoy the simplicity and freedom of creating arrangements that go out to same day for delivery. You have certain materials on hand and you have to make them work to suit the occasion. A couple weeks ago we did this arrangement for journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee who had just (the day before we sent these) been released from 12 year- North Korean prison sentences. Hard Labor!!!! Scary. Nothing like getting luxury flowers to make you appreciate being free. National Geographic choose us to send these flowers as a welcoming gift to the women. Cool huh?



Next up....
How do people get super wealthy? I'm not certain I know or care...but I know they usually have flowers!!! And lots of them. This fantabulous and HUGE arrangement went to a property in Bel Aire listed for $85,000,000. That's a lot of money right? You can see the home here. Pretty ornate! And the flowers were crazy beautiful. Burgundy dinner plate dahlias, peach garden roses, raspberries on the vine, (I'm liking these a lot right now can you tell? hahah), lots of other funky fun greens.






We are wedding warriors lately...so lots of funness to come. I'm just trying to prioritize doing bids, proposals, actual weddings with flower and so forth before I take time out to blog. Hence the lapse of a week between posts. I'll try to be better even if I have to blog at 6am! That's a lie...I'll be sleeping then. Se y'all soon.

Flowerwild Featured on 'Snippet and Ink!'

I like surprises...here is a fun one-
a recent wedding of ours Featured on Snippet and Ink this weekend.
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...
