One of my favorite boutonnieres

I loved this boutonniere! It was made of white spray roses, succulents, green hypericum berries, white wax flowers and variegated Italian pittosporum.

The bridal bouquet featured succulents so I thought it would be sweet to sneak a few little succulents into the Groom's boutonniere. The bride's gown had a green velvet sash so the Groom's boutonniere had a touch of green velvet in the stem.

Photo Shoot at Le Rivage on the Sacramento River

I designed a bouquet for Pro-Finish Design to use at their photo shoot for the wonderful new hotel along the Sacramento River, Le Rivage. Thank you Sarah and John for the gorgeous images.

I cannot wait to design my first wedding at this fabulous new venue!

Wine and Roses- A Decadent Affair

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to see me last night.

These are some images from the designs we featured at The Wine and Roses- A Decadent Affair.

One of my favorite summer bouquets

I loved designing this bridal bouquet. It was so bright and beautiful.

The style of the design is a modified Biedermeier bouquet. Biedermeier designs are of concentric circles or lines of one type of flower. I designed this bouquet to have slightly irregular shape so the overall effect was not so studied.

One of my favorite Spring bridal bouquets

I thought it would be fun to post some of my favorite designs from last year's wedding season. I'll put up a different favorite when the mood strikes

This was one of my favorite spring bouquets. The bouquet was very traditional in shape, flower choice and style. I loved how the colors of lavender, champagne and white blended. Plus I am a sucker for any bouquet that incorporates peonies and sweet peas. :)
