Pearls, Lace and Pink Garden Wedding Inspiration for Utterly Engaged Magazine

I was beyond thrilled when Katie of Intertwined Events asked us to collaborate on an inspiration shoot for Utterly Engaged Magazine. If you are not familiar with UE, it's an online e-zine for brides to be and the wedding industry. The theme of the issue was Sweet and Spicy. So Katie and Meghan designed a photo shoot that takes the bride and groom from their wedding day to their wedding night... all in good taste of course! And be sure to see the full article in Issue #15 of Utterly Engaged Magazine, our feature begins on page 122... Our florals for this shoot were soft, romantic and garden inspired in shades of blush pink accented with pearls. LOVE!!













This image is so stunning...

Yellow and Grey Modern Beach Wedding with Rustic and Metallic Accents

We loved Stacey and Colton's wedding!! Their style was so clean and sleek. Stacey is from Southern California and Colton is from Idaho, for their wedding they wanted to combine the beach with rustic accents in homage to their home states. The perfect location was the Ocean Institute in Dana Point. Gianna Smith SanFilippo of Chic Celebrations designed the fresh and sleek wedding so perfectly. We started with a clean white, yellow and grey color palette, with accents of metallic silver lanterns and rustic wood pieces. The end result was simple, fresh and elegant... And I am so grateful for the amazing images by the amazing Ashley Rose. Her style is so clean and classic, love it!!

Their gorgeous wedding was also featured on Style Me Pretty's new Southern California Blog!! We are so honored to be featured on such a stylish wedding blog!!!


 Stacey and Colton are such a gorgeous couple!!


 We have been doing this wrist corsage for years now, ever since the stylish Ms. Carrie Bradshaw rocked it on Sex and the City. It's a fresh take on the traditional corsage. And it was perfect for this little junior bridesmaid... we dressed up the single white rose with accents of yellow and pewter ribbon.

 A fun fact about Stacey and her family, there were three sets of twins in the bridal party. Stacey has a twin sister, they also have another set of twin sisters, and one of her twin sisters had twins!!!

Stacey's bridal bouquet was created with white freesia, hydrangea, lisianthis, roses, and ranunculas. The stems were banded with white satin ribbon, finished with a band of pewter ribbon and a starburst rhinestone brooch. 


 I loved their ceremony decor, in lieu of traditional floral stands or arch, they opted to use a long table draped in crisp white linens. We then added metallic lanterns, white tulip arrangements in coordinating metallic containers, with a lush all white floral arrangement in a rustic wooden box. The final touch was the yellow pomander balls. Fresh, clean and beautiful!!!






 I am having a mad love affair with china mums... they are one flower way overlooked. They have layers upon layers of ruffled petals which create gorgeous blooms!! I use them whenever and wherever I can. And they are really affordable.
 Each table featured one rustic wooden box, with a metallic silver lantern with a candle, the base was accented with fresh yellow acacia and ranunculas blooms. Then we surrounded the box with four metallic silver containers filled with monochromatic floral arrangements. We used white tulips, white hydrangea, white china mums and roses.  The finishing touch was the yellow button mum pomander balls... and the rustic table numbers created by Gianna.

 The cake could not have been more perfect, each tier was accented with metallic silver band - so striking!

Congratulations Stacey and Colton...xoxo

Jasmine Star Workshop - Gold Modern Dior Wedding Inspiration

It has been a whirlwind month filled with weddings, events, press, tv appearance and trips... I have a lot to catch up on to say the least! I have gorgeous weddings, inspiration shoots and events to blog... In the meantime, here are some images of floral designs we created for one of Jasmine Star's famous workshops...

 Back in January, we created these centerpieces and bouquet for Jasmine's workshop. For the centerpieces, we used a variety of succulents, hydrangea, kale rolled ti leaves, and phaeo orchids. The arrangements were created in silver containers,
finished with a sparkly ribbon and a sequin star ; )
We love Jasmine, she is warm, welcoming and buzzing with inspiration. See here for another workshop post...
The inspiration board for the workshop, which set the vibe for the shoot, was sleek and gold with a modern Dior twist. Because the shoot was more high style, I created the bouquet to be a chic, eye catching accessory. 
 I wanted the bouquet to be small so it wouldn't be overwhelming, yet chic and divine. I used over four dozen white mini calla lilies, with a collar of gilded galax leaves. The stems were banded with gold metallic ribbon, accented with a black lace band. The handle treatment was finished with a piece of gilded bear grass, and a metallic gold brooch.


For the boutonniere, we used a mini white calla lily, accented with gilded bear grass loops. The stem was wrapped in coordinating gold metallic ribbon and a touch of black lace. Love!!!
Dylan and Chrisoula are just perfection - and the dress by Quail  is stunning!! 
And thanks to Vivian of All Made Up for hair and make up styling!
