About a month ago we were hired to do the flowers for a local wedding which will be featured on the WE tv series, “Platinum Weddings.” The crazy part of this whole story is that we were hired less than 36 hours prior to the wedding! Considering that clients normally hire our services a year to nine months in advance, this was a rare occurrence, especially for a wedding to be featured on reality tv!
With six hours to meet with their wedding planner: 2 Chic Events and Design, put a floral order together, and make it to the S.F. Flower Market, we were extremely lucky that we got all of the necessary items needed….the day before the wedding! {FYI, we normally place our floral orders with much time in advance so that we can guarantee the availability of the flowers, get in any specialty items and special order hard-goods. }
Frank and Charity were married at the St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Rocklin, with a reception followed at the beautiful Arden Hills Resort. Their style: Modern Elegance.
Charity’s bouquets for the bridal party and herself were created with ‘Vendella’ roses along with ivory spray roses. Each bouquet was collared off with ostrich feathers. Charity’s bouquet was finished off with the most gorgeous Swarovski crystal band, simply amazing! The simplicity of her bouquet was the perfect compliment to her custom-made couture gown created by Miosa Couture.
For the church decor, each pew end had a pillow of roses with long ivory hanging wide satin ribbon. At the altar, two full arrangements of roses framed the couple.
We can’t wait to share more of the details, especially the stunning reception, so stay tuned!

Audrey – This is so cool! Great work. The “bling” around the stems makes quite a statement. I love it.
