We hope you all have a fun and safe weekend!  Check back in with us on Monday, we’ll be out delivering beautifulness this weekend!

I hope you all are enjoying the extended weekend and holiday today!  We are so lucky to live in the land of the free and today’s the day to celebrate!  Hoping you are enjoying time with family, outdoors in this beautiful California weather, and celebrating with fireworks!

Looking for some 4th of July inspiration?  Be sure to check out our styled 4th of July wedding: Vintage Americana!

Be safe, and have a great holiday friends!

She was looking for a very handmade accent to the floral pieces we created for her, and came to me with a bunch of fabric yo-yo’s that she had made in her colors.  I was thrilled to finish off the stems of her bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages with a few of these fun accents!

Her bouquet featured garden roses, lisianthus, sweet peas, spray roses and godetia.  Green hanging amaranthus also was added.

A simple jute wrapping adds a nice neutral backdrop for the yo-yo’s to be featured.  Since we really couldn’t bring in the blue colors int he flowers, this was the perfect accent place to do so.  We added fun coordinating pins in pinks and blues as well.

What do you think?  Do you love it?  I think it is just perfect for that handmade touch!

And, I had to leave you with a beautiful bouquet!

Hopefully you can take these ideas and bring them into your own wedding, it’s a great way to add a personal touch!

The bridal bouquet featured white lisianthus, white spray roses, Queen Anne’s Lace and white ornithogalum.

The bridesmaids carried green and white bouquets as well; however, we had the green tone be the more predominant color.  Flowers used here included green hydrangea, Queen Anne’s Lace, white chrysanthemums and seeded eucalyptus.  Long satin streamers in the sage green color hung from the front of the bouquets.

Hope you enjoy both of these beautiful designs.  I think the look would look lovely if you have an outdoor garden wedding or just love nature!  Hope you are all having a wonderful Thursday!

This garden bouquet is inspired by the outdoors with a colorful palette of florals ranging from peachy-toned garden roses to pink sweet peas and variegated foliages.  Hand-tied style, with a little hanging amaranthus towards the front, it’s a bit of whimsy and garden elegance.

To go along with this look, we’ve used a three-tiered dessert rack that we filled with flowers to be placed on a guest book table.

Each place setting has a pink mercury glass compote and an open peach garden rose to greet guests as they are seated.

The finest linens provided by Mimi & Company were used in a layering affect for the tables.  Glistening accents of pearls and sequins on the sheer overlay picked up pink tints in the flowers and mercury glass containers.

What do you think, do you not love this look?

You may have seen their wedding which was featured in the recent issue of Real Weddings Magazine.  If you haven’t, make sure you pick up a copy and check out more of the gorgeous details and Janelle + Scott’s love story!

Hope you’ll enjoy these lovely images brought to us by the talented Brian Ganyo Photography.  Thanks Brian!

The aisle was lined with varying heights of vases filled with white river rock and birch candles.  Two large birch trees flanked either side of the stage to bring the outdoors in. Doug with Music on the Move up lit the birch trees to finish off the look.

Janelle wanted a white and green bouquet with lace wrapped stems to compliment her dress.  An embellishment to the stems added a bit of elegance to this classic bouquet.

Janelle was simply stunning in her wedding gown!

Each of the bridesmaids wore dresses in differing shades of green… I just love this trend.  Just having the differing shades really livens things up!  The girls all carried white bouquets with green accents.

The flower girls carried birch baskets we filled with green leaves they scattered as they walked down the aisle.

Each of the girls wore these bird’s nest inspired rings.  They loved these fun little accessories!

Birch centerpieces featured white and green flowers.  Moss and leaf accents were placed on the table tops with green votives.  I love the natural feel of these arrangements!

Finally, there tree cake was featured on a slice of wood and a bed of grass… with two love birds perched a top!

Congratulations Janelle and Scott!

Get the look….

This table display was centered around a rocker – industrial feel with studded metal, leather and soft touches of purple fabric and flowers.  There are so many exciting details to share about this fun table, check it out!  And, make sure you check out all of the awesome vendors’ websites who participated in this vignette!

Genevieve and Andrew were married at the Grand Island Mansion in April of this year, and it was more than a pleasure to work with them, and their wonderful planner Amber Novey with Platinum Planning {who, might I add, does a phenomenal job!}

The images below were all captured by Jeff with Unique Photography, thanks Jeff, your work is amazing!

Genevieve’s colors surrounded around the light pink hue, accented with the subtle use of foliages. Genevieve’s bouquet was created with pink peonies, pink lisianthus, pink tulips, and white ranunculus.  We finished off the stems of her bouquet with a rhinestone treatment.

The pink bridesmaid bouquets complimented the look of Genevieve’s bouquet.

The aisle featured gold chivari chairs with hanging flower pomanders on either side.

Two styles of centerpieces added a soft touch of color to the ballroom.  Tall glass vases with light pink flowers and green hanging amaranthus were the perfect compliment to the ivory and gold embellished room.

We hope you enjoyed a few images from this real wedding, leave a comment and let us know your thoughts!

Congratulations Genevieve and Andrew!
