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!

Old Hollywood Glam Wedding with Hair and Makeup by Swell Beauty

By Swell Beauty, May 17, 2012 Hair and Makeup

When I started this business, I really wanted my brides to stand out, and look exceptional! Since my first day in business, I have made it a point to take part in all aspects of the bride’s hair and makeup needs, right down to making sure that all my client’s hair and skin are prepared for the engagement shoot, bridal trial run and big day. I work hard to differentiate my company by paying attention to the small details, and providing quick customer service!

My stylists and I apply the techniques and skills we have learned as professionals to make our brides look and feel beautiful on their special day. As an on-location hair and makeup company, we recently worked with Allyson at her wedding at the US Grant in downtown San Diego. Allyson and Shay were going for the Hollywood glam look, with a vintage flair and bold colors. Allyson chose the vibrant colors of a peacock bird to incorporate into her overall look.

We tied the whole look together with a finger wave hairdo and glamorous makeup, paired with bold red lips!

Here is Dee and Laura at the US Grant, doing what we do best just before Allyson walked down the aisle!

Our bride’s hair was so much fun to do. I loved working with her birdcage and feather jeweled hair piece. It was the perfect touch to her overall vintage inspired look.

This picture really shows how sweet the ladies in the bridal party were. We had a blast doing all their hair and makeup!

I love how Allyson’s hair and makeup look in this picture. It shows her distinctive finger wave and bold red lips. It all came together on the big day, and her look turned out gorgeous!
