Napa wedding - Images by Jose Villa!

I have been showing you bits and pieces of this wedding for some time now. Recently got these precious jewels of imagery back from Jose Villa. Again, this one is being submitted for publication so I can just give you a glimpse of what we did. Lots of other pretty details to come later. I just discovered my new-found crush on amaryllis. So often I dismiss them as a holiday flower. But they are so wildy beautiful. Everything about this wedding was intoxicatingly pretty. Is that a word? Oh what the heck - you know what I mean.

The Bridesmaids' posies of Apricot Nectar and ranunculas.




Her bouquet....a ruffly twist of charles austin roses with some very unique hebe and coral passion vine finishing it off.




Vivid bouts.





The reception. Oh la la ths place is booootiful!

Flowerwild real wedding - Corinne and Christian

I know I'm supposed to be posting more from Carrie and Jay's wedding at San Ysidro Ranch...but I thought we should have a little intermission. Just received these gorgeous images from Susan Dean. What a talent she is!
This is a smokin' hot couple...and there is a lot of chemistry between them. I so enjoyed getting to know Corinne and felt so honored that she chose us from all the other gifted vendors she was considering. Not to mention, I heard from a number of her family members that she is quite the perfectionist and very difficult to please...and she was totally thrilled with her flowers. Yea!
They married at the majestic Santa Barbara Courthouse. And held the reception at the Biltmore in SB. Love that venue! It is so Old California romantic....looking forward to many more events there next year. Full coverage of this wedding coming soon..

An Enchanting Evening at San Ysidro Ranch

Our most favoritist wedding of the season is up on photographer Jessica Claire's website. View her sneak peek of this intimate affair here. I will post a few more of my favorites on Monday! Can't share too much as this wedding is submitted for publication...but as Jessica said...it would be a shame not to show you just a teensy weensy bit.

The bouquet of my dreams....



Husband and Wife...sigh




Planner Alexandra Kolendrianos made sure the day was flawless. And it was, like a dream.

Pumpkins!

I loooooooove Halloween! And I don't even have to spend hours sewing a costume, like my mother did back in the day. What a miracle. Pumpkins are definitely a fave of mine and now they come in so many fancy styles/shapes. We did this little piece for Sunset Magazine - and I ran across the white pumpkin image on Grey Likes Weddings and had an "oh yeah" moment. Like - those were really pretty images we did. SO I dug them up and here they are. Makes me wan to go look for the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. You can see the whole story on Sunset Magazine's site here.

Flowerwild Real Wedding - Kelly and Sean

Sundays are good when you don't have a big mess to clean up! One of first weekends without a wedding, and I'm enjoying the mellowness. A while back I posted the studio shots of this wedding. Just got the images back from Amy and Stuart! This wedding was coordinated by the lovely Rebecca of Duet Weddings. She is both a delight to work with and a super talented lady with an incredible vision. Can't recommend her highly enough. I am looking forward to working with her more in 2010. Fingers crossed!!!!
Kelly and Sean were a great couple to work with and completely trusted Rebecca and I to compose the look of the day. Fabric wrapped vases, berries, dahlias, super lush colors. I only wish we had been outdoors for the reception. Laguna was sooooo beautiful that weekend. Plus, there's the BEST mexican restaurant on PCH. Awesome Margis. We had fun from start to finish on this one.

This is my favorite all time bouquet!!! And you should have seen the bride in her Elizabeth Fillmore gown. Breathtaking. This wedding is being submitted for publication so can't reveal any more! I just received all the stunning photos from Jessica Claire yesterday.(the images below are my silly shots from the studio) Dream wedding for sure.

Bold Raspberry and Blueberry Palette

I've got things coming at you a little out of order, but no matter...These are images from Jennie's sweet wedding at the Smog Shoppe a few weeks ago. In a few more weeks I should have images from Laura at Docuvitae. That girl knows what she's doing with a camera, so I can't wait to see the results. I just know they will be fabulous.
This bold and fun pallette was the invention of the bride and I am LOVING it!!! Above is the inspiration board I did for her as we got close to the wedding date, along with the actual arrangements as they are boxed up and ready to leave the studio. (the first boards I did for her were a totally different sort of juicy palette-citrus and raspberry/cherry, very warm)
I could not stop staring at these flowers they were just so juicy and fresh looking. And the clematis vine was to-die-for gorgeous, almost iridescent, like a butterfly! Wait till you see what Jennie looked like in her gown with the bouquet. So glamorous, in a very simple silk dress with just a gentle splash of beading at the neckline and across the back. Radiant!
