BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD RECEPTION

STARVING STUDENTS

I never believe brides when they tell me that they aren't particular about flowers or decorations.
Its the stress of the moment.
Its having too much on your plate.
Its trying to finish one life and start the next
and the details are just too much at that point in time.

So when Nikki said that to me, and said she just wanted to get married and get on with her new life with her sweetheart, I let her talk.... and then started plans to make it beautiful.

WAY BACK WHEN....

I must be getting old when I can boast I created both mother's

and daughter's weddings....

BRIDE UPDATE

We transported ourselves and all of the reception flowers to Las Vegas for this elegant wedding...

TAKES THE CAKE

Steele and Ciera

There's something about that moment at the wedding cake....

SUNSHINE AND FUN

I must catch up on posting!

This one was a while ago, but so fun and casual - like a big happy party!

Beth and Scott were actually married aboard a cruise ship in the Panama Canal

then came home to celebrate in California sunshine...

in historic San Juan Capistrano

with friends and family

MY TALENTED BRIDE

AN UPDATE....

I confess I like to keep tabs on my brides - I get very attached and love an update now and then as they grow through life and have adorable children... some marriages have fallen to statistics but most are still happy stories.

IN LOVE WITH LAVENDER

 WHEN FLOWERS TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE....

The smell was heavenly

armfuls of fresh lavender took over my patio
