March Wedding

It's definitely a blog day for me! I got another wedding to share:

Venue: Cliff Hotel, San Francisco

Classic Party Rentals Open House

Classic Party Rentals had an open house event on Tuesday, March 10th. I was invited to provide arrangements for two of the tables. There were approximately 800-1,000 wedding professionals from all over the bay area gathering at Classic's Burlingame warehouse to check out their fabulous collection of linens, china & furniture. It was a wonderful night catching up with old pals and meeting new friends in the industry.

There were so many talented local floral designers at the open house. Here are some of my favorite tables:

February Wedding

Ceremony: Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Ascension, Oakland
Reception: Palace Hotel, San Francisco
Style: Classic, romantic, elegant
Colors: White, green, bronze

Spring 2009

It's been a while since last time I blog! I had a terrific holiday season and I hope you did too! We are entering Spring and it is definitely my favorite floral season! Many of my favorite flowers are or will soon be available in Spring - icelandic poppies, peonies, ranunculus, lilac, cherry blossoms, dogwoods, sweet peas...ah, it puts a smile on my face just to think about all these beautiful Spring blossoms.

Our Spring & Summer schedule had filled up quickly with several weekends left. If you are planning your summer wedding for this year, contact us soon to check our availability. We are now booking for Fall & Winter 2009 as well as weddings for 2010. Generally brides contact us 6-12 months ahead to reserve the date and it is always nice to plan early.

March is an exciting month for me. I am working on a couple incredibly fun projects. I will upload pictures and keep you posted when the time comes! I have a beautiful February wedding soon to upload, but I am still working on sorting out the pictures, I'll do that soon (after this week's wedding, I promise)! Here's a sneak peak of a ring cushion I did for that wedding (by now, you probably know custom designed ring cushion is one of my floral design signatures). I was so in love with it and I almost didn't want to give it away!

I hope you like it as much as I do.

Got Inspirations?

A centerpiece does not have to be a traditional arrangement in a vase. How about a floral chandelier hung from the ceiling? A floral stand with pearls & crystals? Or delicious floral cupcakes and ice cream like pomanders atop trumpet glasses? Have fun with your imagination and let it fly outside of the box.

November Weddings

I would like to share a couple November weddings with you here.

Katie & Matthrew's earthy and natural style wedding at the Claremont Country Club had lots of moss accents. It was full of whimsical details.

Yeni & Franciscus chose peony as their theme flower that created a dramatic impact at Casa Real in Pleasanton. It was definitely the best choice for their modern Asian theme wedding.

October Wedding

Vanessa & Matias' Mexican Mayan wedding at Salute E Vita were complemented with simple red and white floral decor. The bride walked down the aisle with a white Tibet rose bouquet accented with red clovers. A special rosary was added in remembrance of Vanessa's late grandmother.
