A Soft, Vintage Inspired Wedding with Blush Botanicals

By Blush Botanicals, October 01, 2012 Flowers

It brings us so much joy to create exceptional weddings from week to week. Every wedding is unique, and has its own look and feel. Our favorite aspect of working in the wedding industry is the complete creative freedom to design inspired works of art.

For example, we were very involved in Pranee and Mo’s creative design process from beginning to end. Although they started with ideas about the overall design and details, they wanted help executing the vision and bringing everything together. This is where we came in!

One of the ideas brainstormed was to use a soft color scheme of peach, coral, blush, ivory and sea foam. As well, it was decided to incorporate a lot of fun and unusual textures into the design. In the images below, you can see the vintage twist added to these initial concepts, including distressed wood, mason jars and textured burlap.

It was a beautiful day for this stunning ceremony, which took place by the golf course at the La Costa Resort and Spa. Pranee and Mo were on board with all of our creative ideas, including the asymmetrical canopy that began simply as a drawing.

Our gorgeous deep-stained wood canopy was draped in a sheer ivory silk, and soft peach and blush blooms studded the sides and top. The florals included fragrant garden roses, large cafe au lait dahlias, fluffy stock, spray roses, standard roses and dusty miller accents.

Fun sea-foam-tinted mason jars were tied to ivory satin wrapped shepherds’ hooks, and filled with peach and blush blooms.

The blushing bride carried a bouquet of fragrant garden roses, soft stock spray roses, standard roses, scabiosa pods and silvery dusty miller leaves. The bouquet was held together by a layered burlap ribbon.

A whimsical, textured, and pastel theme carried throughout the entire fabulous fête. Placed throughout the venue were soft blush and peach blooms, which were studded with organic succulents and scabiosa pods.

Ambiance for the candle-accented, romantic reception was created through two types of centerpieces. The featured centerpiece sat atop a sea-foam green platform, which was wrapped in a textured burlap ribbon. The secondary centerpiece incorporated a distressed wood platform, and held small mason jars containing assorted rosebuds and candles.

Exquisite Blooms Florals at US Grant Hotel Wedding | Ryan and Eric

By Exquisite Blooms, June 15, 2012 Flowers

Here at Exquisite Blooms, we describe our style as exquisitely organic. Instead of specializing in perfectly round or precise arrangements, our arrangements are more loose and free while still maintaining a polished look and style. We like to have fun with the arrangements’ shapes and styles in a way that is stylish and modern.

For example, I was honored to be the florist for Ryan and Eric’s “Big Day.” I worked closely with Ryan, as well as her wonderful mom Liza, to create perfect pieces that fit their contemporary theme. Their florals were designed specifically to accent the jewel-toned ambiance of the Celestial Ballroom at the US Grant Hotel.

Ryan and her gorgeous bridesmaids posed for some FUN group shots with True Photography while holding their bouquets.

We also did simple and elegant white rose boutonnieres for Eric and his guys.

Ryan and Eric are looking picture perfect in this great couple shot outside the hotel.

Here is a shot of the Celestial Ballroom at the US Grant, all set up with over 100 vases and candles for the wedding ceremony. The floral centerpieces are positioned, the tables are finished, and the lighting is in place for a beautiful reception.

Here is a close-up shot of the table centerpieces, which were full arrangements of hydrangea, peonies, lisianthus, roses and stock atop a grand trumpet vase.

One of my favorite moments of the wedding was when the room was completely set up, and the lights were dimmed. You could see that the uplighting was in full effect – the entire space was breathtaking! Every last detail came together perfectly. Even though I do weddings for a living, I can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful rooms I have ever been a part of. It was absolutely perfect.

From the escort card display, to the top of the wedding cake, to the bouquet toss, the florals at this wedding worked beautifully together. Everything complemented the chic vibe we were going for. What a grand celebration!

A Seaside Wedding at the Hotel Del with Embellishmint Floral & Event Studio

By Embellishmint, May 16, 2012 Flowers

Embellishmint is a boutique-style floral and event design studio creating one of a kind events throughout Southern California and Hawaii. Our designs and concepts are innovative, dynamic, and focused around turning our clients’ visions into a truly personal and inspired affair. Our floral and design styles are ever changing to best fit the personal styles, tastes, and preferences of the bride and groom.

For example, we recently worked with Avery and Thomas, who wanted a vintage seaside look with tons of coral, cream and hints of butter yellow. In order to bring the theme to life, we incorporated fresh springtime florals with fun accents throughout the ceremony and reception. This classic beach theme worked beautifully with the Hotel Del Coronado as a backdrop for the wedding!

Avery looked ever so stunning in her lace trimmed gown and veil. We created her bouquet of vintage spray roses, ranunculus and lamb’s ear, with stems wrapped in lace, and a pearl brooch.

The bridesmaids wore dark coral dresses that were a perfect match for the florals of cream, with hints of butter yellow, blush and pale coral.

The ceremony aisle was lined with vessels set up to look like floating glass globes. These floral bowls were decorated with ‘fishnet’ accents, and held mounds of coral ranunculus, spray roses, vendela roses and silvery lamb’s ear.

The seaside vintage theme ran throughout the event. For example, we used vessels of clam shells that had a pearl-essence finish, place cards in the form of a ‘message in a bottle’, and accented with linens of antique lace.
